HUGE VICTORY FOR LIFE!NARAL loses BIG TIME!!!!!!! When even the liberal jackals on the Court shut these pro-infanticide clowns down, the irrelevancy of the Kate Michelmans of the world is magnified!
Great news!!!!!

The left is going to just about have a heart attack over this.

Gosh - I wonder why I haven't heard of this from the major news outlets /sarcasm
To: RCW2001
Great, now who pays the lawyers? How many prosecutors can we get dis-barred?

Note the liberal slant. The law applied to people protesting NEAR the doors, not blocking the doors.

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, writing for the majority, said that when protesters do not "obtain" property, they cannot be punished for civil disobedience with the federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, an anti-racketeering law. At last - the voice of sanity!

I am not really enamored at some of the tactics used by the prolife movement, I admit that. But using RICO laws to stop them is/was a friggin JOKE. The Supremes rule correctly on this one.

This is indeed good news.
This would have been a big blow against the Constitution if it had been upheld.

Thank you Supreme Court
for divining the truth in the First Amendment.

The resounding major media is resounding, is it not?
This is a great ruling - notice that with the exception of Stevens, even the liberals and pro-abortion judges *still* ruled for the pro-lifers. Thank you, God.
