They had better stack the Supreme Court first then, because they will be smacked down hard otherwise.
Yes, but even without stacking the court, it'll be the same problem as always.
The people who can't just come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars for lawyers will be snatched up. Organizations founded on being the defense of these people like the ACLU will close their eyes because the victims are alt-right nazis or incels or whatever the magic word will be.
Those that can afford a defense aren't going to get extradition orders because all it takes is one SCOTUS decision (as you point out) to put things right, so going after, say, popular Twitter users and the like, simply won't be done. Similar to the strategy of NY, for example, with gun control and cheeky removing anti-2A laws once they get appealed high enough in the hopes that the court will rule things moot instead of actually rendering a decision.
The only hope would be for someone with money to swoop in to the defense of someone who doesn't. And even then, it's still lighting money on fire.
Justice is expensive. By design.
Sure. But in this particular case, I have no doubt that Elon would be jumping at the chance to fund the first case they try this on. He won't just sit back and let the UK destroy Twitter.
I hope the UK police are stupid enough to try it. It will absolutely blow up in their faces.
