This feels like grandstanding. How is this a civil liberties issue? What is this supposed to accomplish? We already know this is under investigation, seems the ACLU could spend their resources better elsewhere.

Because the ACLU represents a different constituency. It’s good to have non-governmental interests represented.

The ACLU hasn't supported civil liberties as a core policy in a couple decades at his point.

The ACLU spends its resources where it can please donor whales. I.e. helping write shitty defamatory OP eds and actively trying to erode due process on college campuses.

I'm as anti trump as it gets but this is just an embarrassing waste of everyone's time.
