... that was established to protect the NAACP from harassment by Alabama in 1958, and has protected civil rights organization and others since then. You seem to be advocating that the court invalidate this protection so that states can harass advocacy organization at will.

Is it correct that you would have preferred the court to overturn NAACP VS Alabama and to allow this harassment to go on unimpeded? Or do you support this precedent and the protection it has and continues to provide?

As far as inequities in the administration of justice is concerned, I'm no billionaire, but I am a card carrying member of the ACLU, and my participation along with many others has proven to be an effective deterrent to civil rights violations and harassment. In fact, my participation helped to support the ACLU's amicus brief in this case. As well as the many others that we have won.
