It's only self sabotage if you define self narrowly. They chose that case because it so strongly demonstrated the true principle they were defending.
From a practical standpoint, the Nazi group they were defending didn't amount to anything, and they never even held their march after going to all the work of taking the case to the Supreme Court.
