Oberwetter had filed suit against the arresting officer, Kenneth Hilliard, in 2009. In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit's opinion on the matter, Judge Thomas B. Griffith wrote that dancing in the memorial is "prohibited because it stands out as a type of performance, creating its own center of attention and distracting from the atmosphere of solemn commemoration that the Regulations are designed to preserve."
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1405419I don't understand why remembering the life and deeds of a man the stature of Thomas Jefferson needs to be a "solemn commemoration". Why must his death be mourned and grieved for yet his life can not be celebrated and revered?
