U.S. District Court Says Cleveland Must Allow Demonstrations to be Closer to Republican National Convention

On June 23, U.S. District Court Judge James Gwin, a Clinton appointee, said that Cleveland’s plans for demonstrations at the Republican presidential convention next month is incompatible with the First Amendment. He ordered mediation to come up with a different plan. The problem with the city’s plan is that it keeps demonstrations too far away from the convention hall. See this story. The case is Citizens for Trump v City of Cleveland, n.d., 1:16cv-1465. The lawsuit had been filed by the ACLU on June 14, 2016. The plaintiffs are political diverse and include both pro-Trump and anti-Trump groups.

  1. Can ANY body detect some sort of distance limit in the 1st Amdt —

    except of course the SCOTUS morons.

    See the MORON SCOTUS distance limit cases about being near polling places, being near abortion clinics, etc.

  2. Will the convention riots give Obama an excuse to declare martial law and NOT have the Nov 2016 election ???

    i.e. the USA banana republic.
