The Trump administration's efforts to pull permits from protesters displaying "8647" flags and signs on National Park Service property near the National Mall hit a judicial wall on Tuesday. The government ordered such flags be taken down in the aftermath of the alleged assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in late May.

In response to National Park Service officer's commands, a volunteer with the Accountability Now USA plaintiffs complied, and was told that replacing the flag would result in a violation of the group's permit. While the litigation had been filed the month before, the officer's threat prompted an amended complaint later that very same day.

Early this month, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, a Barack Obama appointee sitting in Washington, D.C., issued a temporary restraining order in the plaintiff's favor, reasoning that it was "difficult to fathom how" the government "could have concluded that a reasonable observer would view the flag as a true threat." In the middle of the month, Moss doubled down on his earlier findings, extending the original restraining order and enlarging it to cover other flags and signs that display versions of the "8647" message.

Now, for the third time, the judge has sided with the protesters, ruling on a motion for summary judgment and permanently enjoining the government from threatening their permits over the flying of the flags in question or any other signage with "substantially similar" messages.
