They've had the same stance since at least 2014.

They did actually - but while Obama was in office information about the program was far less public - here's a summary of events leading up to a Jan 13, 2016 lawsuit[1] and here's an article from early 2016 on a different lawsuit[2]. The ACLU has had a consistent stance as far as I'm aware - if you have some sources to indicate otherwise please do supply them.
And, not doing a thing because it wasn't done before is a whataboutism appeal that prevents us from improving our actions - it isn't a really logical argument except within the realm of US law and prior precedent.
