You are half right
Congress shall make no law
Nothing in the Constitution prevents state and local governments from regulation assembly
Read the 10th amendment.

It's the hipocracy of the LOCAL government that decides
that certain groups can protest and not others

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

I'm no lawyer or scholar but my understanding is that since the Constitution declares the right to peaceful assembly, no state can write a law restricting that right.
Perhaps I'm just too naive .... and freedom loving.

I am not saying that the state or local government can trump the Constitution. But the orignal intent of the founders was that the Constitution limited the federal government.

The government also has the responsibility to “secure domestic tranquility”. As in protect from violence by a mob.

The states and cities cannot trump the Constitution, but they can regulate. They can require permits. hold the organization responsible for damage or injury, they can require you to provide security.

I think in the case here we are talking about the local government hypocrasy and prejudice.

We are agreeing with the premise but for different reasons.

By the way, do you think you can hold a protest on private property?? Can I restrict your right to speech, assembly, or prevent you from practicing your religion in my front yard???

By the way, do you think you can hold a protest on private property??
No. But then again, the Supreme Court ruled there is no more private property vis-à-vis eminent domain.

[acsrp38]

That’s true
