To piggyback off the quote you pulled, can anyone explain how she came to that legal ruling? It seems incredibly out of sync with the popular perception of American rights and freedoms. Is there something I'm missing?

This appears to be the underlying decision on the motion to dismiss / summary judgement that was upheld by the 8th Circuit: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=169732989067196...

Again, I don't see any discussion about right-to-record. It's mostly a long list of why you can't sue prosecutors.
