These activists (terrorists) are just trying to get the legal precedents in place for the Republican convention.

I don't think it would make a bit of difference, Boston and NYC are not in the same federal circuit, so any ruling in Boston wouldn't matter. In any event, in the interest of security, I think the authorities should continue regardless of the courts and deal with any consequences later.

But in the absence of Supreme Court ruling, one circuit will often cite another circuit's ruling in a similar case.
