The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will not consider a challenge to a misdemeanor charge used against scores of Jan. 6, 2021, rioters for unlawfully “parading” in the Capitol. https://t.co/XK8WygcyDB
The U.S. Supreme Court has made several significant decisions recently. It declined to hear a challenge to a misdemeanor charge used against scores of January 6, 2021, rioters for unlawfully 'parading' in the Capitol, affirming that the Capitol is not a public forum for protest activity but a working building that Congress can restrict. Additionally, the court left intact a ruling that curbs the Justice Department's ability to prosecute people and companies for bid-rigging, price-fixing, and other collusion under federal antitrust law. This decision impacts cases nationwide, including the overturned conviction of a former engineering firm executive accused of rigging bids. Furthermore, the Supreme Court declined to review a case challenging New York City's rent stabilization laws that cap rent hikes and make evictions harder, as well as a lawsuit by 21 young people claiming the U.S. government's energy policies violate their rights to be protected from climate change. In a separate ruling, the New York Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit aimed to prevent Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from sending migrants to the city by bus.
