Why would it?
Plenty of US citizens would actively cheer the notion of having a foreign government arrest their political opponents as an end-run around the fact they're not allowed to do it at home.
After all, 1A/"freeze peach" laws should only protect you from your government, right?

I'm not convinced that plenty of US citizens would celebrate a foreign government arresting an American for what would be protected by the 1A in the US. There will always be trolls, of course. > After all, 1A/"freeze peach" laws should only protect you from your government, right? If my government has the longest dick of all governments in the world, and knows how to swing it, I'm not so sure.
- qball 11mo agoPlenty of US citizens openly celebrated the murder of an American for what was protected by the 1A in the US. So no, I don't think that the people who celebrated that would care, and said people would actively support an administration that actively encouraged the UK in this manner for the same reason.
