SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Soon to be resigning Republican state Senator Stace Nelson is being sued by a second-year University of South Dakota law student in Vermillion for kicking him off his Facebook page.
Jeff Church says in the complaint filed in federal court in Sioux Falls that Nelson’s Facebook page is a public forum.
Church says by not letting him comment on his posts, Nelson is denying him his First Amendment rights.
Nelson announced that he is resigning from the state Senate on December 10. He is from Fulton.
