Federal Judge Tells Tennessee To Stop Arresting Occupy Nashville Protesters | Last week, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam (R) tried to enforce new curfew rules that would have essentially shutdown an ongoing occupation in Nashville by demonstrators outraged by corporate influence on American politics and income inequality. Late yesterday, U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger issued an order telling the state it could not enforce this curfew — a major victory for protesters. The order will stand for 21 days.
