Alan Keyes, six others, to spend the weekend in jail for protesting at Notre Dame


Dammit, at least Terry is still free. I was really hoping to get a little camera time with Keyes tomorrow. Sounds like they're trucking in the crazies though, should be fun!

As Notre Dame prepares for President Obama's commencement visit this weekend, a vocal group of pro-life protesters continues to make their presence known outside the gates of campus.

Led by two men dragging crosses, the group features many familiar faces -- Randall Terry, Alan Keyes, and many others from across the country who have joined the protest.

Slightly after noon, the men and women stepped onto Notre Dame's campus.

Police were there to meet them.

"It's very important for you to understand this message: this is private property," explained an officer.

Alan Keyes was the first to address the onlookers.

"I call on all Christian people to come and bear witness to this betrayal of our faith," he announced.

Those arrested for their first offence will be able to bail out today.

But St. Joseph County judges recently instituted a local rule that affects those that have been arrested once already.

If today was their second arrest, they will spend the weekend in jail until they can go before a judge Monday morning.

As a result, Alan Keyes, along with six others, will spend the weekend behind bars.
