Marc Randazza , a Las Vegas-based lawyer who specialises in free-speech cases, is representing the publisher of a leading neo-Nazi website, Andrew Anglin. Anglin is being sued for allegedly orchestrating an anti-Semitic online trolling campaign against a Montana Jewish family. The mainstream press give no reason for why he chose this particular family to “harass,” but his website gives his point of view. I should add that I do not support the Anglin site, and what he represents, and see many of his articles as alarming and fanatical. But, as a free speech advocate I still have an interest in the case, which raises fascinating points of law.
According to Mr Randazza:
“Everybody deserves to have their constitutional rights defended… Nobody needs the First Amendment to protect Mr. Rogers. That’s not what it’s there for.”

The point is that real free speech laws protect unpopular speech.
