    The first amendment auditor types tend to lean Libertarian, which hasn’t exactly been a been a hip ideology for a long time now. A number of them tended to be lacking in practical knowledge of the law or the constitution, and some seemed to be in it more for attention than for an actual dedication to ideas of free speech and civil liberties

    Not all of them were like this of course, and there are folks out there dong good 1st amendment auditing type work, but there’s a reason that, on the whole, these types got made fun of.
