The new and attractive Heritage site Daily Signal reports that the ACLU has quickly distanced itself from the partisan attack on the Constitution that Senator Udall and Senator Reid proposed:

Democrats pushing for a constitutional amendment that w ould give government the authority to regulate political spending by outside groups will do so without one traditional ally at their side.

In a letter submitted Tuesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union expressed opposition to the amendment, saying it would “lead directly to government censorship of political speech and result in a host of unintended consequences that would undermine the goals the amendment has been introduced to advance.”

…The ACLU argued the amendment, intended to reign in the spending allowed by those rulings, would “fundamentally break the constitution and endanger civil rights and civil liberties for generations.”
