Some members of a Louisiana branch of the Ku Klux Klan, which has been putting on increasingly ridiculous public rallies for decades, decides to revive the good ol' days and add occasional lynchings to their repertoire. Some are caught and prosecuted, but actually rooting all of them out proves extremely difficult.
So the state passes a ban on public demonstrations.
When a Klan representative sues to have the law overturned, the LSC judge says "yes, you have a Constitutional right to demonstrate, but I think your demonstrations are harmful, so the ban stands."
