The ACLU, on behalf of honest-to-God neo-nazis who wanted to march in a place where 1/6 of the folks were Holocaust survivors, stood up for the 1st amendment. Notably, it established that icons of a hate group were not themselves fighting words--rather different than the "everything is violence" position taken by the myopic today.
I'm equally unsettled that few seem as principled or dedicated to basic freedoms today.
