By Land or By Sea Flotilla vigil scheduled for Port Clyde to protest U.S. Supreme Court
Boaters will gather in small watercraft, launching from the Port Clyde Public Landing with signs, and silently hold vigil July 19 near Hupper Island. Others may gather on land, at the Port Clyde Public Landing. The point is to protest U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts Supreme Court.
The vigil will run from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
"United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts presides over the most rightwing Supreme Court in almost 100 years," said a news release from the organizers. "Roberts has delivered the majority vote for President Trump’s every dictate, even granting him immunity from prosecution for any crimes he commits while he is the President. The Roberts Court is historically unpopular with the public and violated the United States Constitution; Roberts has been the deciding member of the six Justices supporting a far-right political agenda. Now is the time to demand resistance to tyranny from people in positions of power, as we move closer to a dictatorship."
