Some terrorists are more equal than others on this Animal Farm

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to reject a free speech challenge to a law making it a crime to provide even humanitarian aid to groups designated by the federal government as terrorist organizations.

The case specifically involved efforts to assist the Tamil Tigers and a group of Turkish Kurds, neither of whom has ever attacked the United States, that I can recall.

The ruling was considered a victory for the Obama administration, which only a couple of weeks ago said it would provide $400 million in aid to the rocket-launching folks of Hamas after a fight broke out on an “aid” ship.

You can't keep your terrorist organizations straight without a federally provided program.
