Court Rules Capitol Grounds Open for Peaceful Protests
A DC court ruled that the federal government may not bar peaceful protests on the Capitol grounds. Judge H Greene held that the grounds may not be off limits to the people, unless protesters are disorderly or disrupt Congress or visitors. The decision could broaden nonviolent demonstrations on Capitol Hill and was made amid the arrest of Quaker antiwar demonstrators reading servicemen names killed in Vietnam.
