Travis Fain, WRAL – You can’t get too loud in the hallways of the North Carolina General Assembly, a state Court of Appeals panel said Thursday in a case that dates back to the 2017 protest arrest of then-NAACP state chapter president Rev. William Barber. Barber was part of a group chanting outside Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger’s office as part of a series of protests backing Medicaid expansion, a program that would provide taxpayer-funded health insurance for hundreds of thousands of people—primarily working poor—in North Carolina. After warnings to quiet down or face arrest, Barber was arrested. His prosecution became a test case for protest rights at the legislative building.https://www.wral.com/shouting-not-protected-at-nc-general-assembly-court-says/20045570/
