Seriously, tho, another big opinion out of the DC Circuit today, upholding the protest/rally ban on #SCOTUS plaza: http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/D8B3547AD4B7D85685257EAF004F71BC/$file/13-5250-1570216.pdf …

DC Circuit's rationale — that the policy is viewpoint-neutral — is undercut by the facts of June 26, 2015.pic.twitter.com/DmvHHBfdy1

On that day, when Obergefell was handed down, the court allowed a "demonstrations applauding the Court's actions."

So, the
#SCOTUS plaza policy is not enforced — at least not at all times — in a viewpoint-neutral way. -
@chrisgeidner Did the Court allow the assembly because it was favorable, or because stopping it would be nearly impossible? I think latter. -
@smmarotta Honestly, I thought it was less of a shitshow outside the court this year than in 2013 for Windsor/Perry. -
@smmarotta And they didn't allow it then. -
@smmarotta When I walked out of the court and saw all the people on the plaza, it actually was the most surprising part of the entire day. - 1 more reply
