In an email from CallaConvention.org:

The ACLU, of course, supported the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United, but that wasn’t the amazing part of the testimony. The extraordinary part, at least to my ears, was their dissing of democracy. To the suggestion that it might make sense for Americans to deliberate about whether a constitutional right to unlimited corporate spending in elections makes sense, Steve Brown of the ACLU said:

I’m not sure it’s in the best interest of this country to be spending hours, days, weeks, and months discussing some of the most controversial issues in this country as to whether they should be part of our constitution. Regardless of whether it is a red state or a blue state… this is not how legislatures in the 50 states should be debating very controversial issues.

Now, I’m a card-carrying member of the ACLU, and I respect their decades of work defending liberty in America. But who, in the ACLU’s view, is supposed to be “discussing some of the most controversial issues in this country”?
