Judge upholds Augusta protest law for Masters demonstration
A federal judge ruled Augusta County ordinance allows the sheriff to regulate protests near Augusta National during the Masters. The decision does not decide whether Sheriff Strength violated discretion by blocking Burk's front-gate protest. Bowen will rule soon on that issue. ACLU and Burk say the law aims to restrict speech, while Augusta National defends local authority over demonstrations.
