The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states

It is no longer safe to organize a protest in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.

Oh man this sounds terrible lets look at this decision.

oh wait its just normal journo shit. Can literally any of then read the plain text of a decision properly? they basically just let the case continue because there's a clear cut higher standard now that they just ruled on a similar case... from well known 'MAGA court' Sotomayor:

Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a statement regarding the court's decision to deny review. She noted that since the court of appeals issued its decision, the Supreme Court in Counterman v. Colorado “made clear that the First Amendment bars the use of an objective standard like negligence for punishing speech, and it read Claiborne and other incitement cases as demanding a showing of intent.” Because the Supreme Court may turn down cases “for many reasons,” Sotomayor stressed, the denial of review in Mckesson's case “expresses no review about the merits of” his claim. Moreover, she added, the court of appeals should “give full and fair consideration to arguments regarding Counterman's impact in any future proceedings in this case.”
