The ACLU used to stand for free speech rights but they went in the woke direction. Now they are defending the NRA in a free speech case.

After 17 people were killed at the Parkland, Florida, school, Vullo called on banks and insurance companies operating in New York to discontinue their association with gun-promoting groups.

In letters to companies and news releases, she urged operators to consider “reputational risks” from doing business with the NRA and other gun groups.

The NRA sued Vullo after multiple entities cut ties or decided not to do business with the Fairfax, Virginia-based organization. The federal appeals court in New York rejected the NRA’s claims, saying Vullo acted in good faith and within the bounds of her job.

But the ACLU, in additional comments posted on X, argued that if the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene, it could create a “dangerous playbook” for regulatory agencies across the country to blacklist or punish “viewpoint-based organizations” including abortion rights groups, environmental groups and even the ACLU itself.

No they did not.
They are smart and see the pendulum is swinging and it it going to hit hard!
Democrats have ruled the roost since the 1900's and drove us into the ground.
People are looking to eliminate the over stretching Democrat dominated government.
It will not be pretty, but like the civil war, Democrats will lose.
