This decision is as important as the Kennedy prayer case. Not good.

[BenLurkin]

Preaching godliness is not, indeed can not be, “hate.”

[Fido969]

Excellent dissent from Thomas.

[sauropod]

How is SPLC funded, and is there any way we can defund them?

[dadfly]

Justice Thomas right again.

[NorthMountain]

The court concluded that SPLC’s “hate group” designation was not provably false because “‘hate group’ has a highly debatable and ambiguous meaning.”

This is actually a serious problem. Should not the person making a claim bear the burden of proof? SPLC should be compelled to define what it means by "hate group" so that Coral Ridge can actually mount a defense.

[Deo volente]

What was the breakdown of the justices on the denial, or is that number not published?

[Wuli]

Again, justice Thomas leads by dissent based on principled judicial reasoning not precedents.

[JoSixChip]

Who cares? We all know what the SPLC is, why would I care who they designate as a hate group? They have no more standing to label anything then I do.

[AndyTheBear]

The court concluded that SPLC’s “hate group” designation was not provably false because “‘hate group’ has a highly debatable and ambiguous meaning."

The Left cherishes ambiguous language for exactly this reason. They can convince people of proposition X without officially taking the indefensible position that proposition X is actually true when called out.

Even in non derogatory matters they will say "climate change is real" hoping to convince people that there is an actionable emergency situation with the climate. But when called out on it they can point out they only said the climate changes, which is true.

They will say "Black Lives Matter" hoping to convince people that there is an epidemic of cops mowing down countless innocent black victims and that police need to be defunded and indoctrinated. However when called out on it, they will pretend they meant simply that black lives do matter, which is of course true.

[Rurudyne]

SPLC is a commie hate fest organization.

[Ann Archy]

SPLC is a HORRIBLE organization!!

[NJRighty]

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group.

[Zakeet]

Democrats Argue That Clarence Thomas Should Only Have 3/5 Of A Vote

[Truthsearcher]

I agree with the decision. I think SPLC can call anyone they want a hate group. Just like I can can the SPLC a hate group without worrying about being sued for dafamation.

The issue here is that Amazon chooses to let SPLC dictate their policies.

The solution is to boycott Amazon until they stop doing so, or use some other platform to garner donations.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

So if when the splc creates a Women Haters group of prolife churches or businesses....this will continue

[alancarp]

The ‘actual malice’ part should have been a slam dunk: what business of theirs was it from the SPLC to tell Amazon anything about Coral Ridge? When they go out of their way to slap a ‘hate group’ on them... that’s malice.

[Twotone]

A very bad decision. Everything the SPLC does is done with malice.
