This isn't a SCOTUS ruling, it is a regulation put in place apparently
"prescribed by the Marshal and approved by the Chief Justice of the United
States.".
Also the regulation
No person shall engage in a
demonstration within the Supreme Court building and grounds. The term
“demonstration” includes demonstrations, picketing, speechmaking, marching,
holding vigils or religious services and all other like forms of conduct that
involve the communication or expression of views or grievances, engaged in by
one or more persons, the conduct of which is reasonably likely to draw a crowd
or onlookers. The term does not include casual use by visitors or tourists that
is not reasonably likely to attract a crowd or onlookers.
does a
lot more then infringe the right of free speech, it also impedes freedom of
religion, and the ability to hold court cases that anyone cares about. I'm very
curious about how they expect to do their job with out being allowed to have
"one or more persons communicating in such a way that they are likely to attract
onlookers.".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Public demonstrations have been restricted by police and civil authorities.
This is one of the tenents of the fascist state. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And your own statement belies the exteme nature of your
subject:
bans picketing, speeches, marching, or vigils on SCOTUS
grounds
Emphasis mine. I assume - without having actually read
the link or any other article associated with it, that "grounds" in this case is
refering to the physical property - such as SCOTUS parking lot. It doesn't
refer to legal grounds such as "SCOTUS says picketing in any public location is
banned!"
So... given your subject, would that banning apply to a private
park - owned not by SCOTUS - beside the SCOTUS parking lot?
Could someone
picket in that private park without running afoul of the ban? If so... the
nature of your subject should be tuned a little.
Just my humble opinion.
After reading your subject I saved actually reviewing your post for after I had
reviewed other things. You'll get reasonable peoples attention better if you
didn't misrepresent the actual context of things to present a more extreme
position.

Well, that was an attempt to stop companies (who are people)
to exercise their rights to speak to the Court (using the
appropriate green-backed idioms), I suppose.
