The Family Research Council has to sue to get paid.
“The Family Research Council has to sue to get paid.”
If FRC sues, they will lose money, as the attorneys at SLPC will run them through the courts. It’s part of deep-pockets-theory of current and unreformed tort law. SPLC would NEVER settle with an entity like FRC. FRC is the antithesis of SPLC.
The reason they “settled” this is to give them cover for a massive donation and as a public endorsement of “moderate” Islam.
It’s the equivalent of accidentally labeling a Unitarian homosexual-led church as a hate group and then “settling” with them out of court for a ridiculous amount because they are, ideologically and in reality, aligned.
I’m not buying it. They probably wanted to set some sort of legal precedent for something in the works as well.
