The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states
The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states. It is no longer safe to organize a protest in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.
This was posted yesterday and refuted that the Supreme Court recently ruled on a similar case and refused to hear it again.
The court had already sided with the protesters. This article is flat out wrong.
Quoting Buelldozer@lemmy.today:
C'mon Vox...this article is straight garbage.
First you link to the wrong god damned instance of this case at SCOTUSBLOG (McKesson v Doe 2 instead of McKesson v Doe 3) you then don't link, or you know just post, Justice Sotomayor's remarks about why SCOTUS didn't hear this case for the third time.
Of course you probably chose not to link, or state, her full remarks because if you HAD then you wouldn't have been able to write that inflammatory headline.
SCOTUS already resolved this in 2023 with Counterman v. Colorado. It's right there on pages 14/15 in the linked PDF.
Modern Media is a raging dumpster fire of inflammatory bullshit.
Edit: In case it's not clear this Vox article was carefully crafted to leave the reader ignorant and outraged.
People are always like "why come to the comments before even reading the article" but if the articles are purposely trying to mislead you, you almost need the context from some internet stranger. Just garbage.
