ICMA joined the State and Local Legal Center’s (SLLC) amicus brief in Wood v. Moss. The Supreme Court will decide whether Secret Service agents engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination when they moved anti-Bush protesters about one block further from the President than pro-Bush demonstrators and whether the agents should be granted qualified immunity. The SLLC’s amicus brief encourages the Court to tour downtown Jacksonville, Oregon using Google Maps Street View; the anti-Bush protesters would have had direct access to the Jacksonville Inn’s outdoor patio where President Bush was dining had they not been moved a block away. The brief also argues that the lower court evaluated the qualified immunity question in this case without consideration of the facts, so, too generally.
