A man who expressed his dislike of the Iraq war to then-Vice President Dick Cheney and was arrested for putting his hand on Cheney’s shoulder will have his First Amendment suit heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The man claimed his arrest came about because of his political views. The Justice Department said Secret Service agents must be free to make instantaneous decisions without fear of lawsuits. -db
