The American Civil Liberties Union (aka the ACLU) has filed a brief in favor of former President Donald Trump. Yes, you read that correctly:
ACLU sides with Trump, argues Jan. 6 case gag order is unconstitutional https://t.co/CUpw0yWXe3

From The Hill:
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Wednesday urged the judge overseeing former President Trump’s federal 2020 election criminal case in D.C. to reevaluate her gag order, arguing it is unconstitutionally overly broad and vague.
“Former President, and now Defendant, Donald Trump has said many things,” the ACLU and its D.C. affiliate wrote in court filings. “Much that he has said has been patently false and has caused great harm to countless individuals, as well as to the Republic itself. Some of his words and actions have led him to this criminal indictment, which alleges grave wrongdoing in contempt of the peaceful transition of power.”
Of course, they had to get their jabs in, but we applaud their decision to step up and do, you know, what they were actually created to do. Which is to defend the civil liberties of ALL American citizens.
We weren't the only ones surprised:
Broken Clock?

Rare, indeed. We'll take it, though!

When we heard the news, this was the first thing we thought of, too.
Well done, ACLU. Well done.
