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.

      Did you read the article? Obviously not.

      The ACLU is involved to challenge one specific motion related to illegal surveillance. They are not providing the defense for a neo-nazi.

      So, y’know…maybe read next time.

        Wow. You’re telling a blatant lie, then telling me to read the article that disproves it on literally the first paragraph. What’s with liberals telling obvious lies to defend fascism and genocide? I’d genuinely love an explanation, but ig I’ll settle for you calling me a russian plant and a trump supporter for not supporting fascist bullshit like you do

          Attorneys from the ACLU’s National Security Project will be working with Brandon Clint Russell’s defense “for the limited purpose of challenging the government’s secretive warrantless surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,”

          ok. You’re a russian plant
