"Supreme Court Rulings Impact Black Lives Matter Activists' Rights"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court declined to hear Mckesson v. Doe, leaving intact a lower court decision that effectively eliminates the right to organize mass protests in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The decision holds protest organizers financially responsible for illegal acts committed by attendees, a ruling criticized for its potential to stifle political protests. The Court's inaction allows the Fifth Circuit's controversial decision to stand, posing significant legal risks for protest organizers in the American South.
