25. Yes, I know . . .
I've actually read the ACLU's amicus brief, have you?

No where in it does it does the ACLU argue in favor of "corporate citizenship."

Instead, in its very narrow amicus brief, the ACLU argues that, in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 the term "electioneering communications" is unconstitutionally vague.

In its amicus brief the ACLU explicitly states that the brief "does not address the issue . . . of whether the BCRA's ban on express advocacy by corporations and unions should struck down."

It is absolutely SHOCKING to see so many supposed "Democrats" "liberals" and "progressives" buy into right-wing smears against a such a stalwart defender of the Constitution like the ACLU.
