Am I to understand this guy got 14 years for an unregistered firearm? And now has to submit lyrics to the gov’t whose (as we just witnessed) leaders are seriously suffering from dementia? wow the USA is officially a dangling past participle.

“Dorsey’s attorneys, Billy Gibbens and David Chesnoff, argued that preemptively ordering their client to avoid certain subject areas amounted to “an unconstitutional prior restraint of free speech”. In a five-page ruling, Morgan said Gibbens and Chesnoff “may be” correct, so she declined to impose such a condition.
But Morgan said prosecutors’ concerns over Dorsey’s goals of rehabilitation were “legitimate”. So she would have the artist turn his lyrics over to the government prior to putting out or promoting any songs he planned to use them in, and at that point if they are deemed to be “inconsistent with the goals of rehabilitation”, prosecutors could ask to modify Dorsey’s supervised release terms.”
“He received a 14-year prison sentence in July 2012 after pleading guilty to illegally possessing a gun during a 2009 traffic stop, among other related charges.
Dorsey had been transferred to a halfway house by fall 2023. And on 1 February, he began a two-year period of living under federal supervision outside the halfway house.”
