The ACLU is challenging Section 702 by joining the defense of a neo-Nazi accused of plotting to destroy Baltimore’s power grid.

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.

      I like seeing our right to not be spied on being defended, yes.

        You’re the scum of the fucking earth. Nazis are gonna put you in a camp if they take power and you will 110% deserve it. Catching far right terrorists before they act is not fucking spying, and frankly if it is it’s the kind that’s necessary rn considering there’s fuckers like this planning shit like this.

        Have fun defending nazis’ rights to kill me. Surely that will get you a ‘get out of concentration camp free’ card. Go. To. Hell.

      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

      Then the government should have gotten a fucking warrant so there wouldn’t be any grounds to appeal.

      You’ll be real sorry the next time a Republican is in office and uses this as precedent to spy on and persecute anyone sympathetic to the LGBT community.
