ACLU sides with Trump, argues Jan. 6 case gag order is unconstitutional

For decades MAGAs have been complaining about ACLU.

Just proves what I gave been telling Rightwingers for years. ACLU is not a partisan liberal organization. They are civil rights advocates with real integrity.


Conservatives were wrong....again.

You mean the decades that they couldn't find an acorn?


It was supposed to be the celebration of a grand career, as the American Civil Liberties Union presented a prestigious award to the longtime lawyer David Goldberger. He had argued one of its most famous cases, defending the free speech rights of Nazis in the 1970s to march in Skokie, Ill., home to many Holocaust survivors.

Mr. Goldberger, now 79, adored the A.C.L.U. But at his celebratory luncheon in 2017, he listened to one speaker after another and felt a growing unease.

A law professor argued that the free speech rights of the far right were not worthy of defense by the A.C.L.U. and that Black people experienced offensive speech far more viscerally than white allies. In the hallway outside, an A.C.L.U. official argued it was perfectly legitimate for his lawyers to decline to defend hate speech.

Mr. Goldberger, a Jew who defended the free speech of those whose views he found repugnant, felt profoundly discouraged.

“I got the sense it was more important for A.C.L.U. staff to identify with clients and progressive causes than to stand on principle,” he said in a recent interview. “Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind.”

But but . . . J6 was worse than 9/11 and trump deserves 50 years in prison. The fiend told his followers to "fight like hell" and that proves he's guilty of the crime of election contesting.
 
I'll just quote myself from the other thread since it is an /thread post.

The ACLU is not saying a gag order on Trump is unconstitutional. It is completely constitutional to enact one.

The ACLU is merely arguing they see this as too broad and that it needs to be more specific just so he knows more clearly what he can and cannot say. And even the judges admit they must narrowly craft these to keep them relevant to the cases and not to otherwise block speech. So these are opinions that would get debated and ultimately appealed to superior courts to decide the lines.

Are you talking to yourself? The two events are very different, one was foreign terrorism the other domestic terrorism. Your hyperbole is comedy gold.

It's also, I suspect, intentional.

TDAK is too linear to be a real nutcase.
He has an obvious schtick.

I’m bored, my plans for today were cancelled due to an attack of sciatica. :(

Planking, which usually works, isn’t helping! Ahhhhhh, the golden years ;)
