A clever defense attorney certainly will use this as a defense against the harsher terrorism prosecution. Claiming that more severe punishment would be infingement of freedom of speech rights. That the crime must be prosecuted simply as the underlying act.
Might work, especially in CA.

Dave, I'd almost agree, except for the fact that the ELF (again with the language thing) pretty much identify themselves as what we consider terrorists.

By operating in cells (small groups that consist of one to several people), the security of group members is maintained. Each cell is anonymous not only to the public but also to one another.
Even in California, it's going to be difficult to defend as anything other than domestic terrorism.
