Justices weighing whether public officials can block people from social media, must decide if they'll hear First Amendment case over horn-honking as speech

An Oceanside woman ticketed for honking her car horn during a 2017 protest outside Rep. Darrell Issa's Vista office has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her case and rule that horn-honking is free speech protected by the First Amendment. Since 2018, attorneys for Susan Porter have been trying to overturn a California law that prohibits drivers from honking their horns for any reason other than warning of imminent danger.

' Row pointed out that both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, during their 2020 election campaigns in the midst of COVID restrictions, urged or referenced honking as a way to support them. 'The pandemic showed that when restrictions are placed on gatherings, people use cars as extensions of themselves to add their voice' to whatever cause they support, Row said.
