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

Because of the crazy 5th District, anyone organizing any protest in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi is responsible personally for any crime committed. And the Court let that stand.

This goes directly against the Court’s own precedents. Time used to be that the Court woul knock down ANY district court that went outside its purview and made up new law. Not now.

On this and the follow ups
Certainly ianal
This is not in any way final
From a smart rando I sort of follow:

It is worth clicking on the link and reading the Vox article.

The decision not to hear the case and let the lower court ruling stand is actually at odds with numerous previous SCOTUS rulings on these matters (including one as recently as last year).

It is worth noting that not taking the case doesn’t establish any precedent on the underlying issue of protest organizer liability. This simply allows the lawsuit against McKesson to move forward. If, in the end, the court finds for the plaintiff, doubtless the decision will be appealed again - and if that happens, hopefully this court will overturn it and uphold their own 2023 precedent.
