I thought the “ACLU” was founded to defend and preserve individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the constitution.

Stopping a pandemic is not attacking civil rights, it's national defense.

ACLU doesn't care about civil rights; they are primarily a front for liberal causes. If they were a civil rights organization they would be working as hard to protect the 2nd amendment as they do to kill tiny humans.

They would have gone after Trump right off the bat if they thought they had a case, but even they don't think the handling of the virus violated anyone's constitutional rights.

You and the fringe (+Russians) are the only ones who believe it.

South East Florida is still locked down, but everyone still has access to essential services, so there is no such thing as house arrest. You've been had.

Attacking civil rights is attacking civil rights, regardless of the reason.

Your rights aren't suspended because "Virus!"

Our country was founded and a revolution was fought during a smallpox epidemic. I'm quite sure many of our founding fathers would be leading the charge for another revolution about now. In fact, they'd have done it a LONG time ago.

Don't give me any crap about "stopping a pandemic" when talking about our rights. My rights don't care about your pandemics.

What would they have gone after him for, specifically?

Governors, mayors and judges are issuing the lockdown orders, not the president. The federal government doesn't even have the authority to issue such orders, and it hasn't.

Exactly.
Same thing with the BS Southern Poverty Law Center.
