Not in the interest of Geller. In the interest of everyone in America. If Geller takes advantage of it fine! That is her right.

Were you opposed to civil rights sit-ins too?

Of course not as long as no laws were broken. And Gandhi while we’re on it. Full support. Legal activity = GOOD. Illegal activity =BAD. Very simple.

Sound like you have a poor grasp of the concept of “civil DISobedience”. The civil rights sit-ins were illegal. They were sitting in places they were legally barred from, under racist laws. Gandhi also broke the law. His non-violence was met by legal violence. Martin Luther King Jr. went to jail. So did Mona Eltahawy. I support both.
