The headline flagrantly dishonest: "Supreme Court Backs Abortion Protesters."
The U.S. Supreme Court merely said that RICO and extortion laws could not be used against abortion protesters. It was always a despicable application of law under the Clinton administration to make free speech and assembly to protest a criminal offense.
That isn't backing abortion protesters. It's correcting a legal decision that should never have been made. The decision indicates that the justices agreed on that. It was 8-0 (Alito did not participate in the decision.)
The headline should have said: Supreme Court Backs Free Speech and Right of Assembly to Protest.
