Greenpeace was just hit with $660 million in damages, as awarded by a jury, in their "mostly peaceful," but somewhat violent, "protest" against an oil pipeline company. The Left is surprised to discover that "protest" and "violence" are two different things, only one of which is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Environmental defenders rallied behind Greenpeace after the shock ruling by a North Dakota jury fuelled concerns that courtrooms were increasingly being used to smother critics.
