Do you think citizens have a right to congregate or protest in front of the Supreme Court?

To the dude who seems to have blocked me but argues there is no right to protest: that’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. Thought you should know you’re embarrassing yourself and your opinion doesn’t jive with any known reputable interpretation of the 1st Amendment.

Portland’s man of steel and Navy vet is now calling for Walls of Veterans to come out and support #BlackLivesMatter
At least 6 #WallofVets group have started up to defend Black Lives and defend our cities from Trump’s invasion. Spread the word support these veterans!

If they have the proper permit and abide by the conditions of it, then yes. Only provided they don't violate the terms and impede the daily functions, and when asked to alter their conduct they do so in a reasonable manner. The permit is not a blank check for others to dogpile onto and violate standing law or standards of acceptable conduct. That's the difference between peaceful assembly and protest and participating in and inciting a riot.

Peacefully yes. An aggressive group throwing punches and tipping over police cars....."Hell No"

The ONLY right mentioned in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution pursuant to this question is the "right of the people to PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE." Nowhere does it give the people the right to PROTEST!!! PERIOD!!!

one man's peaceful protest is another man's riot. just ask the media, they always seem to have trouble differentiating.

The assembly is a mark of protest either for or against a view/law proposed by the government. I don’t believe the founders understood assembly as means of tanning. Verify through congressional record in debate of the proposed first 14 amendments of which 10 were adopted by the states.
