WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has agreed to consider dismissing free-speech claims against two Secret Service agents for their role in a 2004 protest in Oregon against President George W. Bush.

The justices said Tuesday they will review a federal appeals court ruling that allowed a lawsuit against the agents to go forward. The lawsuit claims the two agents violated anti-Bush protesters’ free-speech rights by having police move them farther away from where the president was eating dinner than some pro-Bush demonstrators.
