I wish this had gone to court. The more rulings against these fascists’ blatant violation of constitutional and human rights, the less likely they’ll build up to their own Kristallnacht, or get away with it if they do.

Oh certainly. I wasn’t faulting Twitter. They did the right thing standing up for their users’ privacy. I just wished the DHS had foolishly pressed the summons all the way to a ruling against them. Granted IANAL, but it seems unlikely DHS could have won in court.
