This is a positive for the ACLU. They lost their way during the dark times and started picking political favorites. I hope that this is a trend.

Of course, when they do actually stand up for civil liberties you get people going 'omg aclu defends nazis'.
DP. If the govt used illegal surveillance methods against private citizens it's still likely, no matter what the event was.

Yeah. But this is not that.
Correct, this is not about the First Amendment, it's about the Fourth Amendment.
Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project have joined the defense team for Brandon Clint Russell, the neo-Nazi accused of plotting to attack power substations around Baltimore.
Their involvement stems from questions raised in recent weeks by Russell’s attorneys about whether federal authorities used and have failed to disclose the use of a controversial foreign surveillance tool in the investigation that foiled the alleged plot.
The ACLU’s Ashley Gorski, a senior staff attorney, said in a statement that the group joined for the limited purpose of challenging the government’s warrantless backdoor searches, saying they believe it occurred in this case and is “a rare and important opportunity” to challenge the practice.
“For the ACLU, this is about about government abuse and power,” Gorski said. “In defending the Fourth Amendment Rights at stake in this case, we seek to ensure that all Americans are protected from warrantless government surveillance.”

This sounds like they're taking this up to challenge an existing policy that was just re-upped. Good luck with that.

The march in Skokie was in 1977. Nearly 50 years ago.
They've been remarkably consistent.

They believe that everyone has rights. Not just the people we like.
