    The ACLU tends to rabidly support anything that labels itself as free speech, even if it actually stifles it. Most importantly, to me, their continued support for Citizens United.

    But maybe that’s the only real case and it’s just loomed so large in my mind for the chilling impact “corporations get free speech, and their dollars count as that” has had on the US political landscape.

      I never really thought about them defending that bullshit, but that’s worthy of heavy criticism.

      Any time you find yourself on the same side of an issue as the Cato Institute, you should think real long and hard about your position.
