The First Amendment’s Limit: The Supreme Court’s Plaza

This case was brought up in an article by the New York Times which explains that even the First Amendment has a limit. The issue was that a person named Harold Hodge was on a protest and stood silently in front of the U.S supreme court and protested against the wrong and brutal behavior of the police against the Hispanics and African-American people as he believes. Hodge was arrested for this issue; however, the main problem is that his First Amendment Right was violated. His crime was wearing a sign that read "U.S. Gov. allows the police to illegally murder the african-american and hispanic people. He was given a warning by the the police thrice but he continued with his silent protest and was finally handcuffed. Attorney Jeffrey Light is assisting The Rutherford Institute in its defense of Hodge’s First Amendment rights.

To be honest this issue does effect the people but as we were not present at that time so we can just believe Harold Hodge has raised a public interest issue. I think that this is a good article by The New York Times. This also raises many questions which are still not answered.
