Judge Asked to Dismiss Bush Protest Suit

[Rose Siding]

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Federal prosecutors, citing government immunity from lawsuits, have asked a judge to dismiss a claim by two women who were arrested at a Bush campaign rally and strip-searched at a county jail.

Alice McCabe and Christine Nelson, both teachers in their 50s, last spring sued the Secret Service, Linn County, and the Iowa State Patrol and two of its officers.

The suit claims officers violated their rights to free speech and free association.
