During a presidential visit to Oregon in 2004, the Secret Service kept anti-Bush demonstrators several blocks further from the President than pro-Bush demonstrators. Ten years later, the merits of that claim have still not been resolved. Instead, the two issues before the Supreme Court are whether the detailed allegations in plaintiffs' complaint present a "plausible" claim of viewpoint discrimination, and whether the defendants are entitled to qualified immunity because their actions did not violate clearly established law. The lower courts ruled against the defendants on both grounds and ordered the case to trial. The ACLU is representing the plaintiff demonstrators.
