On Saturday, August 30, from 10 to 11 a.m., approximately 80 demonstrators gathered in Port Clyde near the summer home of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, according to one of the organizers, Nancy Galland.
Midcoast Maine and The Audacity, both citizen groups, had announced Aug. 29 that they would again hold a flotilla of protesters, as they had done July 19, "to bring attention to the far-right decisions by Chief Justice Roberts that have gutted laws once protecting freedoms and funding for the well-being of all populations in the USA."
The groups said in their Aug. 29 news release: "The time has come for all good people to stand strong against this Court’s role in the rise of tyranny that now rules the land. Democracy is failing because the institutions that once protected it are no longer functionally serving the people – they are serving the oligarchy, the loyalists, the billionaires."
