Elie Mystal writes for the web journal “Above The Law”, a go to site for those in the legal profession, and carried away his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law, so even though we may assume his recent piece for ATL—
Elie Mystal
White Supremacists Sue To Invade Another College Campus — was written with tongue partially in cheek, it was also produced with some knowledge aforethought. The subject of his measured rant is Richard Spencer and his National Policy Institute’s (NPI) lawsuit against the University of Michigan for refusing to allow their Neo-Nazi bund meeting to foul it’s campus.
That Spencer and his merry band of White Supremacists are Nazis and seditious pieces of shit and so not deserving of First Amendment protections should be evident to anyone with a minimally functioning cerebral cortex. The Southern Poverty Law Center characterizes Spencer and the group thusly:
“Spencer advocates for an Aryan homeland for the supposedly dispossessed white race and calls for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” to halt the “deconstruction” of European culture. But even some of the Europeans he lionizes have rejected him; in October 2014, his attempt to hold an NPI conference in Budapest, Hungary, resulted in his arrest and expulsion.”
And for good measure quotes Spencer saying:
“Our dream is a new society, an ethno-state that would be a gathering point for all Europeans. It would be a new society based on very different ideals than, say, the Declaration of Independence."
– Quoted by Vice, October 2013
And of course there is this:

Advocating for a new society in this country based on anything other than our foundational document is sedition plain and simple. Advocating ethnic cleansing of any sort is sedition and hate speech, advocating for both should be enough, in any sane nation, to preclude your right to speak at an institution funded in part by that same state. In my opinion it should preclude one from speaking to anyone other than a lawyer in the lock up.
But Mystal knows he doesn’t live in a sane nation-state, so he feels the need to explain very slowly what Spencer is up to..
- “White supremacists try to go to colleges to teach people how to hate their neighbors.
- Colleges and universities say, “Dude, you’re a Nazi, you can’t speak here.”
- White supremacists, whose people control all three branches of government mind you, scream “FREE SPEECH, FREE SPEECH,” and sue.
- A white court rules “Golly, there’s nothing we can do about white supremacists encouraging people to destroy non-whites. Good thing I’m white or else this would be very disturbing.”
- Richard Spencer shows up and gets punched in the face.
- The media talks about Antifa for a week, because making a distinction between oppressors and liberators is too complicated to do on TV, according to whoever keeps giving Megyn Kelly money.
- White supremacists actually kill someone. These white supremacists disavow those white supremacists, like I freaking give a s**t about which version of genocide and ethnic separatism you happen to support this week.
- The cycle repeats.”
And to those whose liberal breasts puff with pride and defend the right of Nazis to pour their hate “speech” out of their streuselholes like sewage from their jackboots, he has this to say:
“I have no intention of waiting around for them to try to kill me before I demand protection from their “free speech.” If you’re a white male, you can afford to wait till I’m on a train to the camps before contemplating a more robust distinction between protected and unprotected speech. You have that luxury. You have that privilege.
Me, I can’t afford to play the appeasement game. It’ll be too late for me and my family. These Nazis and white supremacists are coming. They want it to be one way, but we need to make it the other way.”
See you in court, Nazi.
