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 am aure they’d rather be busy doing other things but if the Governmwnt starts taking liberties and shits on the Constitution, then we need someone to step up to the plate… Shame on the Government.

        Everyone here seems to be missing the point. The government’s already doing that to way more than the nazi. Why only defend the nazi?

          Because section 702 evidence isn’t showing up in court in other cases. That’s why they have an opportunity to challenge it here. They aren’t defending the nazi, they are defending all of us from being taken to court with evidence obtained without a warrant.
