DC Circuit Hands Down Major Free Speech Victory

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has handed down a major victory for free speech against the District of Columbia. In Frederick Douglass Foundation v. District of Columbia, Judge Neomi Rao has reversed District Court Judge James E. Boasberg’s dismissal of a challenge by pro-life protesters who alleged that they were treated differently from Black Lives Matter protesters. In the appeals court’s opinion on this selective enforcement of city ordinances, Judge Rao cited a 1976 U.S. Supreme Court opinion saying, “To permit one side … to have a monopoly in expressing its views … is the antithesis of constitutional guarantees.”
