If you want to go there, the Nazis made it an issue,by seeking to march in a town of Holocaust survivors and their kin.

We'll have to agree to disagree. It was the specific laws that were at issue. If Maryland were to pass a law barring pamphlets and assembly of some group and then that group filed suit....it's not the group that's made the issue, it's the law that made the issue.

You neglect the essential element of whether the state or municipality is in a position to police the event.

No I didn't. It's a matter of getting enough people to overwhelm the resources of Maryland. If we could get a million anti-KKK men to march on Sharpsburg with baseball bats and crowbars, it would be beyond the capabilities of Maryland to control the situation.

I might add that when you discuss the Skokie case you arbitrarily limit the discussion to the police force to the village of Skokie. As far as I can tell, the Governor of Illinois could have used the Illinois State Police and/or National Guard to control the situation in Skokie.

If it can be shown that the KKK or Nazis currently sponsor terror, and, indeed, exist to provide a conspiratorial framwork to that end, they ought to be locked up.

Put me on the jury. There's a pro-life group...something like "soldiers of God" [It's always good when God is on your side...right away you know they're the good guys] they've published [web] a list of doctors that perform abortions and implicitly suggest that those doctors be eliminated; it's members have been known to target persons on the list for assassination.
