Come on, the ACLU pales in comparsion to the Treason Media in danger to the Republic. It isn't even close.

I disagree completely. The Treason Media can only spout propaganda. It has its effect, but cannot directly change anything. The ACLU, on the other hand, uses its immense legal resources, in collusion with liberal judges, to make de facto changes to existing law. A law may say one thing clearly, but if the ACLU can get federal judges to rule that it says something else, then it has effectively been changed by fiat.

In addition, the ACLU uses its power and resources to intimidate people and businesses to accept social change that they would otherwise resist. For example, the Boy Scouts are still fighting tooth and nail not to have to allow gay scout leaders, but many organizations have and would cave in to those demands, not because they would necessarily lose the case in court, but because the drain in time and financial resources even to win would be equivalent to losing. Therefore they cave. If enough do this towhere all organizations are afraid to stand against such lawsuits, then you, again, have a de facto change in societal rules.
