Faggots did the same thing to California anti-gay marriage supporters. Harassed the crap out of them. The old Saul Alinsky gambit.
Can’t the case where the black rights groups refused to hand over THEIR membership lists in the 1950s be cited?

Judges are no longer independent but beholding to their political patrons.
Don’t have to go back that far
