    I wonder if they aren’t touching it because they want to address this question in context of considering Jan. 6. They don’t want to establish a ruling that could be used against Trump, so they are taking time to get all their ducks in a row.

    I have no legal background so this is just idle speculation.

      It’s more likely that they’re not touching it because they want to suppress African-American protests. [I am also not a lawyer]

      They aren’t touching it because they already DID with Counterman v. Colorado back in 2023. The issue is done and Sotomayor made this plain in her full remarks.
