How Radical Activists Weaponize the Courts
June 2025
(Citizens for a New Louisiana) — Last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a landmark ruling in Little v. Llano County, one that might finally stop the barrage of frivolous lawsuits masquerading as First Amendment crusades. The court reversed an earlier, deeply flawed panel decision in a sweeping en banc decision. Instead, it affirmed what should have been obvious all along: public libraries have the right to curate their collections (including removing books), regardless of what Amanda Jones, Lynette Mejia, or Nureka Ross think.
The court rightly labeled the plaintiffs’ arguments ‘over-caffeinated’. It rejected the idea that anyone has a constitutional right to disrupt public meetings to demand that taxpayer-funded shelf space be provided for any book they choose.
