Journalists Joel Lovell and Mark Joseph Stern discuss their recent reports about the evolving direction of the ACLU. Since President Trump took office, the ACLU has filed more than 100 lawsuits against constitutional infringements like attempting to restrict immigration and ban transgender people from the military. The ACLU is re-evaluating what role it plays in America today and is following the lead of an unexpected group: the NRA. In The New York Times Magazine, Lovell writes about the inner workings of the advocacy group in his article, “Can the A.C.L.U. Become the N.R.A. for the Left?” and Stern has been writing about the ACLU's work while covering courts and the law for Slate.
