First Amendment Freedoms Act would shield private rights
A bill introduced in Congress seeks to close a gap in free speech rights by making it unlawful to use force or disruptive noise to interfere with private individuals speaking worshiping or assembling. The measure would empower federal courts to grant injunctions civil damages and criminal contempt for violations and would also penalize officials who unreasonably deny permits for peaceful gatherings. Bipartisan sponsors expect hearings but swift action is unlikely next year.
