And we will see how hard the ACLU comes down on Obama. We know how they would react if this had been done a year ago.

Well either the ACLU has an apoplexy about Obama, or they rationalize that there was "so much other support" that Obama wouldn't have had a chance to make a difference with an amicus. This didn't begin with a federal, but a state case.
By the way, what is Jindal saying about this Louisiana case, if anything? I'd seriously want to know before I know how vigorously I want to support his being the GOP presidential or vice presidential candidate in 2012 in the presence of other viable candidates. (Like I would say about Scalia, better Jindal than nothing.)

The ACLU is on the right side in this case. They submitted an amicus brief to affirm Jackson. In a separate brief, several former federal judges, US Attorneys and Former FBI Director William Sessions also submitted a brief to uphold Jackson. The only people wanting it to be overturned are prosecutors who want an easier way to convict innocent people.
