The ACLU is collapsing, and they KNOW it is because Christians in particular are targeting them and they are being exposed. This is an attempt to divide. That's all it is. It does NOTHING to advance religious freedom AT ALL, it is narrowly tailored to address Freedom of SPEECH, and the religious issue was just the type of speech. They mention it in passing only.
Also, the complaint says that he was standing on the sidewalk, not on Wal-Mart property.
Finally, the ACLU is disintegrating. They are having a hard time getting dues paying members, and an even harder time recruiting lawyers. Also, with the ADF (Alliance Defense Fund), the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice), the PJI (Pacific Justice Institute), and the AFJI (American Family Justice Institute) going after everything the ACLU does and stands for, as well as the very real prospect of Congress SHUTTING DOWN their funding by eliminating the 42 USC 1988 award of attorney's fees for First Amendment cases, the ACLU is on the ropes...
They have a huge endowment, that will be sucked up quicker than a vacuum cleaner if their funding sources go away. And more and more people are challenging them and the ACLU is losing more and more cases.
This is nothing but a desperate act of attempted self-preservation because the ACLU IS GOING DOWN!!!!
