Protesters on Trial for Demonstration at Supreme Court

At about the same time the Supreme Court was issuing decisions Tuesday morning, an important trial about the Supreme Court was getting under way at the D.C. Superior Court. Thirty-five anti-war demonstrators who were arrested inside and outside the Supreme Court on Jan. 11 went on trial for violating a statute governing assemblages on the Court grounds. Most of the defendants in court Tuesday were dressed in orange jumpsuits meant to symbolize Guantanamo detainees.
