Good for that judge. Nobody likes the KKK, and I think most people consider their use of masks cowardly. But the right to anonymity is part of the right to free speech.

Yeah. And I think that "no masks" thing could well be used against left-wing, anti-war protesters as well ("ooh, they might be terrorists") - hence the protest suggestion.

Not to mention fouling up Halloween and Mardi Gras celebrations something fierce.

What need is the Million Groucho Glasses March. Make the police look really silly, busting a million Groucho Marx impersonators.

Count me in. Although I totally despise the KKK, I think they're right on this one. Furthermore, I think we are very close to a society in which other groups, such as anti-war protesters, may choose to engage in masked protest.
