The Supreme Court and the right-wing Liberty Counsel are now benefiting from the peace of mind that they have worked to strip from Americans seeking abortions.
Liberty Counsel maintains, under its umbrella, a D.C. ministry called Faith & Liberty, which sits in the shadow of the Supreme Court — across the street to the east. That street has been cordoned off with security checkpoints, and access has been limited to residents and workers on the block, keeping potential demonstrators far from the ministry, which is marked by giant stone tablets inscribed with the 10 Commandments.

Coakleywith the high court decrying a 35-foot buffer zone in Massachusetts as a “significant threat to bedrock First Amendment freedoms,” arguing that such zones “chill the very kind of controversial speech the Founders sought to protect.
That Supreme Court ruling gutted, but didn’t fully outlaw, buffer zones. And Liberty Counsel has kept fighting them, including seeking to reverse a buffer zone rule in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which it argues imposed a “gross intrusion” on constitutional rights and “an ideological ban on pro-life speech.”
The Supreme Court has fought in court to establish that it is entitled to maintain a buffer zone that encompasses the plaza directly in front of the courthouse. This limited buffer zone was blessed by the D.C. Court of Appeals in a 2015that the government interest in “preserving decorum” as well as in “assuring the appearance of a judiciary uninfluenced by public opinion” made this restriction on free speech reasonable — particularly given the public’s access to the sidewalk fronting the plaza.
