2011-2012 Supreme Court Term: Reichle v. Howards, No. 11-362 (First Amendment)


On June 16, 2006, Stephen Howards was arrested by the Secret Service after he said something to Vice-President Richard Cheney and touched or pushed his shoulder, and then lied to them about whether he had done that.  As a result Howards sued several of the Secret Service agents for violating his rights under the First and Fourth Amendments.
