The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to consider reviving a lawsuit brought by a street evangelist challenging a protest ordinance in a small Mississippi city. The ordinance requires demonstrations to be redirected to a designated protest area. The evangelist, who was barred from evangelizing outside a local amphitheater after authorities said he shouted insults over a loudspeaker, argues that the ordinance violates his First Amendment rights. The case raises questions about whether existing case law prevents a person who has been convicted from pursuing a civil rights lawsuit. The court's decision to take up this matter signals a potential examination of the balance between municipal protest regulations and constitutional free speech protections.
