#1 ...As the Ol' Perfessor would say, 'Heh'.

More seriously, let me cite an example that the SPLC would have profited to remember - the Klan. When the FBI was finally turned loose on them, a lot of the fun went out of that sort of thing - after all, being a bully loses a lot of its appeal when you know that people will hit back twice as viciously. But the real death of the Klan didn't happen until the lawsuits started. Prison was one thing, that could be survived. But to come out and have NOTHING...to have and be less than the people you were trying to intimidate and oppress? That ended the Klan as a coherent organization. (Yes, you still see the occasional moron in hood and robe, and the media plays it up like the coming of the Apocalypse, but a state LE officer told me some years back that you could probably put every true active Klansman in the country in your local multiplex and still have seats left over.)

The SPLC has a great deal to answer for, and the gates are now open to a great many questions. And those questions will cost them a great deal of money.

#2 Deep pockets(tm)

If as reported major search engine and social media organizations have relied upon SPLC to 'combat' hate speech and organizations, I suspect a very long litigation is in their future.
