“Just two days after a judge struck down a decades-old law banning protests on Supreme Court grounds, the nation’s highest court has in effect restored it with a new rule governing conduct on its premises. The ban, first passed by Congress in 1949, was struck down Tuesday with extreme prejudice by Obama-appointed Judge Beryl A. Howell, who called it ‘repugnant’ and a clear violation of the First Amendment.  According to The Associated Press, a rule the court issued Thursday bans ‘picketing, speech-making, marching or vigils’ on the Supreme Court’s plaza, while explicitly making way for ‘casual use’ by visitors.”
