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.

Using examples like this to erode rights is how the nazis got public support to become nazis.

Are you saying people will join a group that committed the holocaust because they wanted to blow up a power grid and the police didn't check all the right boxes when they found out?

I'm saying if you say "fuck you rights" to bad people it's easier for the government to fuck everyone's rights
