Scenes from St. Paul -- Democracy Now's Amy Goodman arrested

Scores of people are tear-gassed. At least 250 people are arrested. And St. Paul is as militarized a scene as one will see in an American city.

    This is the final outrage of a failed presidency.

    These tactics will be repudiated as just plain dumb & unnecessary contraventions of First Amendment rights of speech & assembly and nothing more. They have already been proven to be patently illegal in N.Y.C. $ Millions were paid for false arrest.

    When we hold the politicians personally & legally responsible and accountable for these obscene activities we will have our republic back - but not before.
