Minutemen Continue to Fight Over Highway

The San Diego Minutemen are challenging the proposed change in the location of their "adopt a highway" stretch of road. From The New York Times:

The group filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month arguing that the decision violated its constitutional rights to free speech, due process and equal protection under the law. The Minutemen are asking for permission to work at the original site, as well as for the payment of legal fees and $50,000. A hearing is scheduled for March 14 in the United States District Court in San Diego.

Because it's theirs and belongs to them and they should have it cause they saw it first.

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's very near a border station and they are a group of people who fancies themselves freelance border patrol.

And it has nothing to do with the odd symbolism of the whole thing, what with them "picking up trash" on the side of the road near the border patrol where they like to pretend to be the border patrol.

And it's not like they are going to stand on the side of the road in their orange vests and look for immigrants themselves, irregardless of if they are trained to do so, or even if they are targeting ACTUAL illegal immigrants, they're just picking up trash you see.

Really it's about fairness, you dig? They should be able to stand on the side of the road, scan for interlopers, point and yell and generally infringe upon the rights of others, because it's ONLY FAIR. Sure they are really in it to adopt a highway, but they don't want any old highway in East County... they reject you old highway in East County.

But really they are in it for the highway... just not that highway.

Poor east county highway.
