Lawmaker’s lawsuit moves ahead

Cheri Reisch will be dealing with a lawsuit this year. A federal judge has rejected her motion to dismiss the case. A man in her Missouri House district sued Reisch. She blocked him on Twitter, after he retweeted a comment critical of her. He says that’s a free speech violation. The Hallsville Republican is arguing Twitter is not a public forum because it’s a private company. She adds he could have reached her in many other ways.
