The @ACLU spent years suing over the no-fly list, insisting it was a grave abuse of power.
Does ACLU have a position on Schumer's call for Americans to be put on that list with no trial, and the Chair of the House Homeland Security Comm calling for 2 Senators to be put on it? https://twitter.com/Lukewearechange/status/1349073228623392773

I spent years reporting on the no-fly list, including @ACLU's lawsuits. It's monstrous. But in the War on Terror, the argument was: it prevents terrorists from coming to US or boarding planes to blow them up. Does anyone think Cruz & Hawley will do this? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/05/muslim-no-fly-qatar
Here's the @ACLU's summary of the evils of the no-fly list, and why they spent so many years suing to end it. Kind of amazing to see Dems not demanding it be *expanded*, to include people not yet convicted as well as sitting US Senators: https://www.aclu.org/issues/national-security/grounded-life-no-fly-list
Didn't see that the ACLU yesterday denounced these calls for the no-fly list to be used. Good to see:

They've also expressed concerns about Trump's banning & the attacks on Parler by Silicon Valley. Its old-style civil liberties voice is very needed now.
