The ACLU's motivations are obvious.

First, it IS an issue for them, the ACLU believes in a right to privacy (which isn't a right by the constitution), so this case does fit their agenda there.

Second, its Rush. This gives them a high profile case where they can claim the high road they haven't seen since they defended the Illinois Nazi's (I hate Illinois Nazi's). Everyone knows Rush doesn't like the ACLU so now they can pretend to be above the issue.

Third, the ACLU had taken it on the chin lately for being to liberal. This is something they can' point to as a big 'no we arn't' even though its one case, and not really a liberal/conservative issue.

Now to me this has nothing to do with privacy but confidentiality. There is a difference.

The day the ACLU defends someones right to own a firearm I’ll rethink my opinion of them.
