ACLU needs to be shut down, permanently.
About forty years ago the ACLU did a pretty good job keeping politics out of their organization. They played it down the middle.
Recently, I had a mailing from them asking me to join to stop Bush and Gonzalez from abridging the Consitution. Words to that effect, anyway.
The ACLU has become openly hateful of Republicans, Christians, and anyone else not on the looney left.
