Not trolling, but what case are you referring to? The only ones I'm aware of were where protesters were illegally prevented from gathering. I'm also not sure what they'd be able to do to defend the Jan 6th rioters - it doesn't seem like their 1st amendment rights were violated that day.

The FBI conducted mass dragnet seizure of cellphone data -- much of it without warrants -- in order to identify people involved. This is the kind of thing the ACLU would go bananas over years ago but today are silent.

I’m sure they’d gladly defend the BLM protestors who attacked federal buildings.

Most of those cases have been ongoing for the last year, so where are all the ACLU amicus briefs you can use to back up your assertions?
Re:Defending Speech We Hate by PaulDavisThe1st on Monday June 07, 2021 @01:48PM (#27425649)
Just how sure are you that the ACLU will defend those cases?
Re:Defending Speech We Hate by xbar on Monday June 07, 2021 @01:50PM (#27425682)
Why are you sure?
