Should the Supreme Court Be Off Limits to Protesters?

The Washington Post's Robert Barnes reports on a challenge to the law that keeps protesters away from the U.S. Supreme Court except for the sidewalks surrounding the highest court in the country. The D.C. U.S. Attorney argued that there is a legitimate governmental interest to keep demonstrations away from courthouses because courts don't make decisions by reference to public opinion, but one judge ruled that it was inconsistent with the First Amendment for the government to prohibit virtually all expression in front of the court.
