ACLU suspects warrantless surveillance in neo-Nazi’s prosecution

I hate that groups like the ACLU have to defend nazi scum to protect my liberties. Better that the government not violate our rights in the first place, but in lieu of that, even nazi scum is subject to the same rights and due process as any other citizen. However, I wouldn’t mind if they got pantsed a couple of times by their lawyers.

Well, on one-hand, fuck this asshole, who cares?

On the other hand, if this isn't challenged, it will happen more and more, and to anyone for any reason.

Exactly. It's like the saying about how we treat prisoners. Whatever we allow to happen to those lowest in standing is what will be allowed to happen to all of us eventually.
