The Editorial Board needs to read McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission, 514 U.S. 334 (1995), in which seven United States Supreme Court justices agreed that anonymous political speech IS protected by the First Amendment. The McIntyre case was almost identical to the Ferguson case, except for the fact that the would-be pamphleteer in Ferguson has even more reason for wanting to maintain his or her anonymity. The ACLU's position is not novel or even controversial. To the contrary it is precisely correct, however uncomfortable the Editorial Board might be with its implications. - David Roland
