A federal judge has ruled on Monday that protesters cannot march through the security perimeter set up for the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee next week. The judge determined that the city and Secret Service had reasonably balanced First Amendment rights with security interests in implementing the speech restrictions. This decision represents a setback for protest groups who sought closer access to the convention delegates.
