A legislative counsel member from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has issued a rebuke after Facebook and Twitter decided to suspend American President Donald Trump from their platforms.

Kate Ruane, a senior legislative counsel at the ACLU, released a statement condemning Facebook and Twitter’s decision to suspend Trump, warning against “unchecked power” and the precedent it sets for other activists.

You know something is up when THEY object to an action against Trump.

[Darksheare]

They’ll feel nostalgia when the totalitarians come for them.
They get to wear little stars again.
Just like the little gold stars in school ‘Good job!”

[DoughtyOne]

When you’re Left of the ACLU, you really out there.

warns ——— warns

stern letter, they are waterboys for the swamp.

[matt04]

When even the ACLU comes to defend Trump, who they have hated since day one, you know you screwed up.

LOL

blm/antifa think they are going to get evyerthing they want.

When they don’t and they start attacking the left on social media, i’m not so sure they won’t be cut down.

Let’s see for how long.

Perhaps had the ACLU stood up many years ago when the 1st Amendment rights of conservatives were under attack, we would not be in this situation today.

NOW they speak up. Many would argue its too late for their objections to have any impact.

Biden will use bullets not teargas.

[adorno]

All members of my immediate family, are closing their Facebook accounts, and wont be using Twitter either.

All republicans should do the same, and anybody that believes in freedom of speech and freedom of religion (guess that leaves out most democrats).

[rktman]

Anyone got a link to where we can buy some ‘Scarlet T’ badges?

[dfwgator]

Biden may be out of the picture by then, if you catch my drift.

[rktman]

Probably not so much defending Trump as objection to censorship.

[BRL]

The ACLU will issue one lame statement and then go actually put their money and staff on projects that strip our real civil libertues

[2banana]

WAY TOO LATE ACLU

[rktman]

“He has no choice”.

The Skokie Case: How I Came to Represent the Free Speech Rights of Nazis
In 1977, the ACLU of Illinois received a call from a Nazi leader complaining that his planned demonstration had been blocked. The ensuing legal battle, and the controversy around it, would test the organization’s commitment to the First Amendment.

Exactly. Something wrong.

Expect someone at the ACLU to get fired soon.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Well I'll be darned! Cut off my legs and call me shorty!

[hardspunned]

Even a few of the leftists at ACLU still believe in the constitution. I think they might be experiencing an Alec Guinness from the Bridge on the River Kwai “what have I done” moment.
