I was opposed to the Nazi skinheads marching through Skoki, IL a heavily Jewish neighborhood consisting of Holocaust survivors. The city denied the march route but the ACLU sued and they marched. The Nazi skinheads weren’t exercising their 1st. Amendment rights, they were exercising their right to intimidation with the help of the ACLU. Would the ACLU sue to allow the KKK to march through a heavily black neighborhood?

Of course not.

The First Amendment was written to protect unpopular political speech, and the city was wrong to deny them a permit.

The solution to unpopular political speech, which this clearly was, is MORE political speech, not government intimidation.
