Let's be very clear that what Salve wants to do here is to effectively kill the right to protest by firing from the court's shoulder. It's the easiest thing for State agents to infiltrate a peaceful protest, cause violence, and then leave the "organiser" to bear the brunt.
In fact that's what the UP government has been up to with its ordinances. Make sure nobody ever calls a (peaceful) protest, because even if somebody totally random causes violence, the state can swoop down, confiscate your property, and put you in jail.
I know that these days the heavens fall if Salve is not given priority audience by the Supreme Court for any matter, but let's also be clear that what he is advancing here is an authoritarian State agenda, and no amount of "don't judge lawyer by client" nonsense can mask that.
