Texas attorney CJ Grisham and his client, Jason Followell, were removed from an Aransas Pass city council meeting under the threat of arrest after they both used profane language and violated the rules of decorum during a public comment period.\nSince that January incident, Grisham has filed a lawsuit (see link below in the show notes) on behalf of Followell and the Aransas Pass police chief has charged both Grisham and Followell with disrupting the meeting.\nIn this episode, Grisham and I discuss the First Amendment, the validity of rules of decorum, and whether it is legal for public speakers to be ejected from council meetings for using profane language.\xa0\nListener discretion is advised as the language in this podcast is not suitable for children or the workplace.\nThis episode is sponsored by\xa0CityManagerNews.com\nSHOW NOTES:\nCJ Grisham is an attorney in the state of Texas handling First and Second Amendment cases.
