Washington D C arrest 1997

Robert Lederman arrested on steps of US Capitol in 1997 while giving out leaflets on the NYC street artist lawsuit then pending before the US Supreme Court. The Federal Court ruling in Lederman v United States about this Washington DC arrest overturned the permit requirement to protest on
the US Capitol steps. You can read the ruling
from this case in the links section of the

This was a "special day", that ultimately lead to

Robert Lederman and the Federal Court System to change the law;

allowing individuals to hand out leaflets

on the Capital Steps. Perhaps one of the main reasons

the First Amendment was created for in the first place.
