Supreme Court backs orderly courtroom rulings over tumult
The Supreme Court largely upholds use of removal and contempt to handle disruptive defendants, praising Judge Niemeyer’s handling of a notorious 14 year old Chicago case. The ruling emphasizes order but notes judges may err and defenders may assert rights. Black’s opinion centers the need to protect courts from being bullied. Brennan cautions against eroding liberty in the riotous era.
