This comment from another topic applies in any discussion of Greenwald:
And to be clear, Greenwald wasn’t defending Hale’s right to free speech but rather his supposed moral character and fitness to practise law. Looking at Hale’s sordid history of direct action prior to passing the bar and his total lack of remorse for his activities, and looking at his on-going disrespect for the ideals of the legal system as it exists one has to wonder why Greenwald thought the case was worth taking. At least, one wonders for the few seconds it takes to remember that Greenwald puts grandstanding and self-promotion above ethics every time.
