@MathFaithWorks Actually even for people who are known terrorists and who have no passports, you can _still_ fund their legal defense.

@MathFaithWorks Legal defense is guaranteed by the due process clause, so Congress cannot make laws against funding it.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathFaithWorks Because Congress clearly does have the power to declare it illegal to fund _other_ things.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathFaithWorks Congress has the power to declare it illegal to fund a lot of things not guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathFaithWorks But thankfully legal defense is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, so we are free to contribute to that cause for anyone.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathFaithWorks But, like I said, no such fund need actually exist yet because Snowden has not actually been apprehended.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathFaithWorks So a legal defense fund is premature. If he _is_ apprehended, I'm sure the ACLU or similar will set up an excellent one.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@MathFaithWorks And I will contribute day one to that :)
