A federal judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by a group of imams against US Airways and a Minneapolis airport can proceed.
U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery said in a 41-page opinion late yesterday that the imams, who say they were discriminated against when they were removed from a flight last year, have a plausible claim that their constitutional rights may have been violated.
The imams "have adequately stated a claim" that airport police may have "seized plaintiffs in violation of their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures," Judge Montgomery ruled.

Receiving a Government paycheck her entire life.
Put a fork in us - where’re done. What a bunch of cra$.
Well I don’t know.
Shouldn’t she err on the side of allowing the case to go forward? Maybe it would just be better to allow this thing to go through our court system.
The American public ain’t gonna like it one whit.
I’m not sure this is a bad thing.
We need more judges like this. Lets all make sure Hillary gets elected.
Ok, so no more reporting suspicious activity regardless of what the airport announcements say .....
You may be right. The more I think about it, the more pi$$ed I get.
Another crazy judge.
She’s anti American garbage.
What an incredibly stupid woman. Everybody in the country is aware of the suspicious behavior exhibited by these men engaged in a probing mission and/or publicity stunt. Fit this moron judge for a burka.
I still find it ridiculous that this happened not within the US District court of Michigan but was filed there.
It’s too bad that the average citizen will eventually suffer due to the stupidity of this deutsche-bag. Justice would be served if only the deutsche-bags were the victims of terror attacks they helped to create. The same rule should apply to the deutsche-bags who support illegal immigration. What would our Founding Fathers do if they were living in America today?
Revolt?!
They would be happy to see that the people, through the jury system still make these decisions.
