The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from John Nassif, a Florida man convicted for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol.
Nassif challenged the constitutionality of a law that bans “parading, picketing, and demonstrating” inside the Capitol, arguing it violates the First Amendment’s protections of free speech and assembly. The charge is one of the most frequently applied to defendants from the January 6 attack.
