If they come after the First Amendment will the ACLU do anything?

If as rumored that Biden is going to go after the First Amendment with new "domestic terrorist" laws will the ACLU and the 'Left' do anything? Or will they cheer on a clamp down on conservatives even if it blatantly violates the Constitution as the USA PATRIOT Act did in 2001?

I strongly suspect they will go after sites like FreeRepublic under any new laws.

At the moment they can ban conservatives from social media but that doesn't take them offline.

I might not be able to get the Parler app off the Google store but I can still visit Parler.com and use the service.

The next step is to take these sites offline completely!

There is no doubt in my mind that the First Amendment is under threat just like the Fourth was under the PATRIOT Act.

Stay vigilant!

They’re taking the 1st amendment right now.

What’s the response...from anyone who can stop it?

Lawyer up.

I for one will happily donate whatever it takes to a legal fund if FR Is under threat as I suspect it will be.

They want to take sites offline completely. That is the next logical step to the social media bans...

Only speech the American Communist Liberation Union cares about and defends now is pro-government pro-leftist pro-socialist speech. It’s not the ACLU of old.

The ACL..WHO?? Ever since the scamdemic started I would’ve thought they would issue some press release reminding elected officials to be mindful of people’s CIVIL LIBERTIES while enacting mask mandates and lockdowns, but they were conspicuous by their silence.

The ACLU was founded exclusively to advance the “rights” of the subversive Marxist left - until they could get absolute control of the USA. Mission accomplished on 1/6/2021.

Looks like we’re on our own then.

They will definitely pass something tyrannical within weeks.

I’m pretty sure the American Bar Association is going to be purging anyone not carrying the party line, so good luck with that lawyer thing. :)

I never considered that..

We’re screwed.

I wonder what they will do.. Remember “Never let a crisis go to waste” is their mantra!

You can fight.

That’s all I read about and heard about for months on here.

But when push comes to shove, we are not like the greatest generation.

Our individual lives mean SO MUCH to us.

Or none of the past years catastrophes would have happened and statues would still be up, confederate flags would still be flying and militias to combat even local insane laws would be forming.

There is only one option left.

And we won’t take it.

There is Article V. Imagine Trump himself chairing the Convention! He would become the most influential America since George Washington.

ACLU is the SPLC in drag. They love serial killers and TSA agents mostly.

I understand. We’re running out of options.

No doubt they have some pretty terrible stuff ready to pass...
