Hopefully he will decline and not align himself with the ACLU. He's got enough money to fight it off himself.

This "investigation" is on appeal. The ACLU could simply petition the 4th DCA for permission to file an amicus brief. Assuming it is granted, they could appear and appeal on whatever grounds they want.

Why announce they are offering to help rush. Why not an announcement of their intention to file an amicus brief regardless? Probably because they may WANT the rejection. This way they can stay out of the Rush case and say "we offered". They are still hypocrits.

If this was another case they would not have asked or looked for excuses not to file. They would have filed no matter what.

The ACLU knows, I think, that just the offer will put pressure on him to be, at least, more "nuanced" in his criticism of them. Which could essentially shut Rush up because Rush is not exactly "Mr. Nuance."
