Did you know the diminishment of ONE person’s rights is a diminishment of EVERYONE’s rights? That’s what a Montana lawmaker said to local media earlier this year after traveling to Minnesota for a day of solidarity.
Morigeau tells MTN that federal enforcement has created fear in communities and in our country. He says what’s happening in Minnesota represents a broader threat to constitutional rights that could impact all Americans, including Montanans.
“We can’t remain idle because the diminishment of one person’s rights is a diminishment of all of our rights. And I think if we remain idle and stand on the sidelines, people are gonna continue to chip away at those rights, and eventually, what happens when you chip away at rights over time, you have none,” Morigeau said. “And so I do think um our basic dignity is at stake and standing in solidarity says you’re not gonna take these rights from us that are guaranteed to us under our Constitution.”
What were Montana lawmakers warning the nation about? ICE ops? Somali fraud? How about a potentially corrupt female prosecutor arrested for allegedly pimping out other women for sex work?
A former Assistant Anoka County Attorney was arrested and charged Friday with more than two dozen crimes connected to an alleged commercial sex trafficking operation that spanned several years.
Andrea Leigh Sampson, 35, is charged with 13 counts of promoting prostitution and 13 counts of receiving profits from prostitution after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the Human Trafficking Task Force uncovered an alleged sex trafficking operation within Minneapolis, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park and other surrounding areas.
According to the charging documents, the operation alleges that numerous individuals, including Sampson, obtained apartments for “commercial sex transactions.” Law enforcement later learned that some of Sampson’s properties were allegedly used for some of those transactions, and where photographs of the victims were taken for commercial sex ad postings.
In a statement, Anoka County Attorney Brad Johnson confirmed that Sampson had been the Assistant Anoka County Attorney and was working in the office’s Family Law and Civil Divisions, but said she was immediately placed on administrative leave when his office was made aware of the investigation in February 2026. Her last day of employment was March 9, 2026, the statement reads.
If Montana lawmakers want to help protect Constitutional rights in their own state, maybe they should pay attention to Missoula’s troubled prosecutor, Keithi Worthington, and the investigation into Keithi, which hasn’t been made public, or even shared with the Municipal judges, necessitating the need to litigate instead:
Three sitting Missoula Municipal Court judges are suing the City of Missoula, Mayor Andrea Davis and City Attorney Keithi Worthington, saying the city is wrongly withholding a full investigative report tied to the judges’ complaints about Worthington’s conduct.
The lawsuit, filed June 29 in Missoula County District Court, was brought by Judges Jennifer Streano, Jacob Coolidge and Eli Parker, along with Court Administrator Kari Dady. Davis and Worthington are named as defendants only in their official capacities.
In official minutes I found online from last year, the female head of Missoula’s two-headed civil/criminal prosecuting team opened her law-school-educated mouth to express her alleged concern for Constitutional rights, but not in the way you might expect:
Instead of wanting to PROTECT these Constitutional rights, like my first amendment right to use offensive language to refer to a deceptive prosecutor as, say, a lying cunt, what Keithi Worthington is suggesting in her comments to City Council is that VICTIMS RIGHTS should supersede Constitutional rights.
Is that what Cohen v. California intended to protect half a century ago?
Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), is a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court holding that the First Amendment prevented the conviction of Paul Robert Cohen for the crime of disturbing the peace by wearing a jacket displaying “Fuck the Draft” in the public corridors of a California courthouse.
The Court ruled that displaying a mere four-letter word was not sufficient justification for allowing states to restrict free speech and that free speech can be restricted only under severe circumstances beyond offensiveness. The ruling set a precedent used in future cases concerning the power of states to regulate free speech in order to maintain public civility.
To better understand how victims rights can legally wiggle ahead of those antiquated rights about “free speech”, here’s a screenshot from the Montana Department of Justice explaining all the ways victims will be supported, even if they are abusing the system by making false reports after being awarded a civil restraining order in a process where the accused does NOT get a lawyer, while the alleged victim gets help from the Crime Victim’s Advocate office.
In assessing if one is a victim of lawfare, like I believe I have been for 3 years, one statute in Montana Code Annotated that doesn’t get enough attention is the one about filing false reports to law enforcement.
Through discovery in a previous case against me I have learned that there have indeed been official reports made to law enforcement about me that were later proven to be inaccurate, therefore NOT prosecuted by city or county attorneys, but the person MAKING those false reports has been allowed to continue this unchecked behavior, despite a clear statute in the law.
If you want to see how that statute functions in the real world, the Missoula County Attorney’s office showed they ARE actually aware of this law by recently charging someone with making a false report, resulting in three men being held at gunpoint at Southgate Mall, according to the charging documents:
While the city of Missoula gets sued left and right amidst a heated budget season, I’m going to keep demonstrating why the local power structure is so invested in shutting me up by putting the finishing touches on my unified theory of subsidized development shaping the future growth of Western Montana, coming tomorrow.
