Question:
Members of the Ku Klux Klan were distributing gun rights leaflets in Desloge, Missouri, when informed by a police officer that they were violating a city ordinance that prohibited “stand[ing] in or enter[ing] upon a roadway for the purpose of soliciting rides, employment, business or charitable contributions from, or distribut[ing] anything to, the occupant of any vehicle.” The officer had observed Klan members stepping into the street to give leaflets to passing drivers. The Klan sued Desloge claiming the ordinance violated Klan members’ First Amendment rights. How would you rule on that case? See Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. City of Desloge, Missouri, 775 F.3d 969 (8th Cir. 2014).
