Rather Mr. Limbaugh has the ACLU on this side or not, he has one thing that most Americans don’t, tens of millions of dollars to vigorously defend himself against the system.
I agree though that some circumvention of due process may have occurred here and Mr. Limbaugh’s right have potentially been violated. It warrants scrutiny.
I don’t think from the article that the ACLU has done anything more than publicly state their concerns over the states actions. No attorney appeared in court nor has the ACLU sought permission to file an Amicus Curiae with the 4th District Court of Appeals. The extent of their involvement at this point seems to be strictly moral support.
