Washington, D.C. Court Rules in Favor of Reverend Mahoney, Strikes Down Pelosi-era Ban on Capitol Protests
May 19, 2024, 12:47 PM
A federal district court in Washington, D.C. has ruled in favor of Reverend Patrick Mahoney, striking down a Pelosi-era rule that banned prayer vigils and protests on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. This ruling follows a lawsuit filed by Mahoney, who was previously arrested in 2021 for holding a peaceful demonstration on the Capitol steps. The court's decision reaffirms that the steps of the U.S. Capitol are open for public prayer and protests, emphasizing the protection of First Amendment rights. The Liberty Center, which supported Mahoney's case, celebrated the ruling as a victory for constitutional freedoms.
