			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/peep-rnc.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-31687" title="peep-rnc" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/peep-rnc-300x205.jpg" alt="peep-rnc" width="280" /></a> Despite mass arrests at this peepful protest against the Republican National Convention (submitted to the Pioneer Press&#8217; <a href="http://twincities.upickem.net/engine/Welcome.aspx?contestid=5748">Peeps Diorama Contest</a>), all of the blue and brown peeps&#8217; charges against the pink, yellow and light-green peeps <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/31596/breaking-terrorism-charges-against-rnc-eight-will-be-dropped">have been dropped</a>. After the jump, a speech-balloon version of the popular Senate election-contest trial scene, and selections from the ABA Journal <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/gallery/single/peeps/163">Peeps in Law gallery</a> that show where Minnesota&#8217;s U.S. Senate dispute may be headed.  <span id="more-31680"></span> First, here&#8217;s the full protest diorama, with description by creators Jen, Laura and Danielle (no last names given):</p>
<blockquote><p>PNC (Peeps National Convention) Riots  We are social workers at Regions Hospital &#8230; We were able to witness the riots outside of the RNC this year from our curbside seat (all that was missing was some beer and a pizza for our enjoyment&#8230;we enjoyed that later at Savoys). This is a portrayal of the anarchists and other unlucky folks who were arrested on the John Ireland Bridge. Notice the demonstrator urinating over the bridge!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/684391p.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31738" title="684391p" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/684391p.jpg" alt="684391p" width="480" height="360" /></a> (Read about the original, human enactment of the RNC protester-roundup on the John Ireland Bridge <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/7691/if-you-are-on-this-bridge-you-are-under-arrest">here</a>.)  Back by peepular demand and also from the PiPress competition, here is the Norm Coleman-Al Franken election contest trial scene by Nancy, Nikki, Robert and Roberta Muehlhausen that <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/31469/coleman-franken-trial-peeps">we featured earlier this week</a> — this time with speech balloons:  <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/672044p.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-31739" title="672044p" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/672044p-580x330.jpg" alt="672044p" width="580" height="330" /></a> Next are a pair of dioramas from the <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/gallery/single/peeps/163">Peeps in Law gallery</a> at the ABA Journal Web site. First, a vision in peeps (by Emily Good and Rachel Hughey) showing where the dispute over who&#8217;s the Minnesota&#8217;s second U.S. Senate seat may be headed: The United States Supeep Court.  <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/highest_peep_medium.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31740" title="highest_peep_medium" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/highest_peep_medium.jpg" alt="highest_peep_medium" width="450" height="300" /></a> And here is <a href="http://www.abajournal.com/gallery/single/peeps/160">a depiction</a> (by Amrita Singh, Stephanie Hood and Rachelle Bergeron) of the constitutional principle on which Coleman has said he may take his case to highest court in the land, in a scene that&#8217;s sure be repeepted many times over in <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/31072/iowa-overturns-same-sex-marriage-ban">Iowa</a> and <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/31368/vermont-legalizes-gay-marriage">Vermont</a>:  <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/equal_peeptection_medium.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31741" title="equal_peeptection_medium" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/equal_peeptection_medium.jpg" alt="equal_peeptection_medium" width="400" height="300" /></a> Thanks to ABAJournal.com Assistant Managing Editor Molly McDonough for bringing to MnIndy&#8217;s attention the American Bar Association&#8217;s devotion to peeps, of which we were hitherto unaware.</p>
