You Win Some, You Lose Some — A Year in Legislative Battles from the ACLU's D.C. Office

With things in Washington at a near standstill as everyone eagerly/anxiously awaits next week’s election, the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office (WLO) has decided to use this time to look back at the last year in legislative battles.

Some memories are bittersweet, like our work on the Lily Ledbetter Act, and some are just bitter (FISA!). From legislation honoring Emmet Till to our work on bills that would ensure a federal reporters’ shield, the WLO has been up to our elbows in lawmaking this year.

I urge you to check out our wrap-up, and then pour a sip out on the sidewalk for the Fourth Amendment.
