Because alleged domestic abusers pose a clear threat of violence, the measure is constitutional under the high court’s United States v. Rahimi ruling, Judge Jerry E. Smith said for the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. [More]
If they’re “alleged,” that hasn’t been proven and depriving them of their rights is tyranny.
