A local Bennington man, Scott Huminski, has been protesting the Rutland County District Courthouse by putting up posters criticizing Judge Corsones. Huminski contends that the judge fails to uphold the constitution and recently received a no trespassing order from the court. The largest law firm in Washington D.C., Hogan and Hartson, caught wind of the situation and offered their services for free because they believe Huminski had been deprived of his first amendment rights. Huminski’s lawyers filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court which has nullified the no-trespassing order.
