President Donald Trump has applauded the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show over comments he made about the man accused of murdering Charlie Kirk.
I can’t imagine that the ACLU isn’t interested in this. They are probably studying all the variables, and seeing what else is coming, before announcing anything.
It’s important to remember that the ACLU isn’t a law firm you can hire. They are an activist organization, and they look for cases that can demonstrate specific legal/ political points they want to make, and create legal precedents that will influence all future litigation.
So it’s possible that this case is perfectly viable, but doesn’t have the elements they are looking for, so they let a normal law firm handle it. Think of all the race cases that end up with one of the big civil rights lawyers. Any of those cases would look like good cases for the ACLU, but in many cases they’ve already fought similar cases in the past, creating legal precedent for the rest of the law world to follow. They’ve already done their part by creating precedent, now it’s time for other lawyers to benefit by that.
