Looks like Erik Prince's SCOTUS whispering worked... jfc
The Supreme Court effectively abolishes the right to mass protest in three US states
It is no longer safe to organize a protest in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.
By Ian Millhiser Apr 15, 2024,
"The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will not hear Mckesson v. Doe. The decision not to hear Mckesson leaves in place a lower court decision that effectively eliminated the right to organize a #MassProtest in the states of #Louisiana, #Mississippi, and #Texas.
"Under that lower court decision, a protest organizer faces potentially ruinous financial consequences if a single attendee at a mass protest commits an illegal act."

#ClarenceThomas secretly attended fundraising event for group pushing cases before the court, new report says
The #Koch network is frequently behind cases before the court, including a closely watched challenge this term that could upend decades of precedent.
by Kelsey Reichmann, Sep 22, 2023
"Thomas’ attendance at the Koch network fundraiser is coupled with his failure to disclose the trip. Ethics experts called on the Judicial Conference — the rulemaking group for federal courts — to refer Thomas’ disclosure lapses to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"'The law is very clear,' Gabe Roth, executive director at Fix the Court, said in an email. 'The Judicial Conference must refer to the Attorney General 'any individual' for which there is 'reasonable cause to believe' that 'information required to be reported' in their disclosure has not been reported. We're far past 'reasonable cause' territory.'
"Thomas’ failure to disclose other gifts from #billionaires has already been reported to the Judicial Conference, however no action has been taken by the group.
"According to ProPublica, the Palm Springs event was just one instance the Koch brothers rubbed elbows with the conservative justice. The trio all took regular trips to an exclusive all-male retreat in California, Bohemian Grove. Thomas is said to attend the camp as Crow’s guest. Other attendees at the retreat include #Blackwater founder #ErikPrince, George H.W. Bush, and Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi."

#ClarenceThomas secretly participated in #Koch network donor events
Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, helping a political network that has brought cases to #SCOTUS
By Joshua Kaplan - Justin Elliott - Alex Mierjeski
Published September 22, 2023
"Thomas' involvement in the events is part of a yearslong, personal relationship with the Koch brothers that has remained almost entirely out of public view. It developed over years of trips to the #BohemianGrove, a secretive all-men's retreat in Northern California. Thomas has been a regular at the Grove for two decades, where he stayed in a small camp with real estate billionaire #HarlanCrow and the Kochs, according to records and people who've spent time with him there.
"The Grove is an exclusive, two-week party held in the Sonoma County redwoods every July. A member or his guest can wander from the Grove's shooting range to a lecture by #Blackwater founder #ErikPrince, or from a mint julep party to a performance by the Grove's symphony orchestra. Wine, sometimes at $500 a bottle, flows freely, and late at night, members consume clam chowder and chili by the gallon. More than one attendee recalled walking outside in the morning to find a former cabinet secretary who fell asleep drunk in the grass.
"There's a saying among the Bohemians, as the club's members call themselves: The only place you should be publicly associated with the Grove is in your obituary. That privacy is paramount, members said, in part to allow the powerful to speak freely — and party — without worrying about showing up in the press. Only designated photographers are allowed to take pictures. Cellphones are strictly forbidden.
"Members typically must pay thousands of dollars to bring a guest. Several people ProPublica spoke to said that before the pandemic, they saw Thomas there just about every year. ProPublica was able to confirm six trips Thomas took to the retreat that he didn't disclose. Flight records suggest Crow has repeatedly dispatched his private jet to Virginia to pick up Thomas and ferry him to the Sonoma County airport and back, usually for a long weekend in the middle of the Grove festival."
