Note: At 5:30p Monday,
@ACLU came ~closer~ to opposing the current legislation than they had to me earlier Monday: https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/until-no-fly-list-fixed-it-shouldnt-be-used-restrict-peoples-freedoms … -
(Not clear what time zone their "5:30p" is, but I think it's West Coast, b/c here's
@HinaShamsi's tweet of it: https://twitter.com/hinashamsi/status/674058127306858500 … ) -
"Without fix, don't use it to restrict freedoms." -
@HinaShamsi, w ACLU near-clear opposition to terror watch list-based gun-buy bar bill -
Seems like ACLU's taken position against the current legislation,
@HinaShamsi. Is that true, & why the change since I was told no position? -
Alright. That's all for now. Please do let me know what's up,
@ACLU and/or@HinaShamsi. - 1 more reply

@chrisgeidner It's not that odd. They conspicuously switched on campaign finance after CITIZENS UNITED & religious liberty after OBERGEFELL. -
@VerverkS Their position on religious liberty has been heavily debated for more than a decade; it wasn't a post-Obergefell thing. -
@chrisgeidner Debated, yes, but it didn't become the official policy of the organization until after. ACLU was pretty good about raising... -
@chrisgeidner ...alarm of due process violations of Muslims during the Bush era. Didn't they litigate for Hamdi? -
@chrisgeidner (and yes, I know that case isn't about 1st Amendment but the power to curtail civil liberties was obviously huge there) -
@VerverkS I really have no doubt about the ACLU's continued interest in defending religious liberty in many situations. The debate was ... -
@VerverkS ... over when religious liberty claims come in contact with nondiscrimination claims. -
@chrisgeidner Right. Timing of that, though, still strikes me as... well, partisan for lack of a better term. So I'm just not surprised.
