    Was the court tight to dismiss the suit? Was the Center for Immigration Studies harm,ed at all. Since the judge said the suit was not 'completely frivolous' is there grounds for an appeal?

    I agree that it should have been dismissed.

    The solution is for people to simply not give a **** what the SPLC says.

    This sort of precedent is never used against the establishment culture. It will without question be turned against us in the silent majority.

    Except the MSM treats ANY allegation they make as gospel. And several of the leaders are under investigation for mishandling of finances. Morris Dees got quite wealthy tossing around unfounded accusations. Hope this gets appealed or another lawsuit is filed.

    Except they use that piece of **** organization to crush the online presence of many groups, organizations, and even companies.

    SPLC has become nothing more than a Radical Leftist group that will lie to push an agenda.

    I believe even while Obama was in the White House the
    F.B.I. { even though a big part of Obama's DEEP STATE }
    stopped using the SPLC as a guide.When asked for clarification
    the FBI confirmed only that the Relationship with the SPLC
    was no longer " Official ".That the FBI did eliminate the SPLC
    from it's website as listed " hate crime " resources.
    Which is a polite Washington D.C. way of saying the SPLC
    is full of crap and no longer trusted.

    The SPLC is the same scumbag lying pack of un-American traitors
    who listed the Protestants at - The Family Research Council -
    on their list as being a " Hate Group " soley based on their being
    against Abortion and opposing Same Sex marriage.A strongly held
    and traditional POV held until a couple decades ago.
    The Family Research Council sued SPLC due to a near tragedy
    at one of their headquarters.Due to the Scumbags at the SPLC
    listing the religious minded - Family Research Council - as among one
    of their " Hate Groups " it led to a gunman walking into an FRC headquarter
    with the intention to " kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A
    sandwiches in victims faces." The gunman was caught and stopped.
    He told the FBI he used the SPLC website to pick his target.

    Exactly.

    The suit was always destined to be laughed out of Court.

    Groups the SPLC has called hate groups:
    • Family Research Council
    • Alliance Defending Freedom
    • D. James Kennedy Ministries
    • Religious Freedom Coalition
    • American Family Association
    • Act for America
    • Center for Immigration Studies
    • Center for Security Policy
    • Liberty Counsel
    • Traditional Values Coalition
    The only sins of these groups is that they do not adhere to Leftwing hardcore PC ideology. This is an absolute attempt to to smear and libel groups to hurt them.

    Who do they support? ANTIFA

    The hateful actions of the SPLC prove only their own hate, not the hate of others.

    The decision was correct, but there is room to appeal, yes.

    “It’s our right to free speech to express our views, however controversial they might be.”

    “We think you’re a hate group.”

    “You aren’t allowed to say that!”
