Alan Keyes Released from Jail
Alan Keyes, who lost to Barack Obama in a U.S. Senate race, was arrested Friday protesting President Obama's invitation to speak at Notre Dame in Indiana. Today he was released from jail.
Keyes and 20 others were charged with trespassing, Dennis Brown, a spokesman for the Catholic university, said. Brown said the university has a long-standing policy that only student-led demonstrations are allowed on campus with approval from the office of student affairs.
Notre Dame invited Obama to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree May 17, causing an uproar because of his strong support of abortion and partial birth abortion rights. Many of the protesters Friday pushed baby strollers covered in fake blood. Operation Rescue described the demonstration as peaceful.
