I'm glad they're suing. Maybe they should win, maybe they shouldn't, but the courts should decide the issue rather than UDOT.

I'm glad they're suing too. That way the lawyers can afford to buy some nice fur coats.

Last time I checked, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech but it does not stipulate that you wont be charged a fee for it. Nor does "free speech" mean you can say anything you want. Numerous Supreme Court rulings have identified that there are limitations.

This group wants to stage a protest event and a permit is required. To me it seems that they simply need to obtain the proper permits and then they can protest. If not, then they should find a different location.
