I realize that it's not a poplular opinion here, but I believe that groups like the ACLU actually strengthen our Constitution, democracy and our Country. We are strong because there are many layers of checks and balances in our system of governance. It means that the decisions made by those in power will not stand without being challenged. Many times the challenges will fail, but because they know of the challenges, those who take office may not excercise power without restraint. I think that's a good thing.

"I believe that groups like the ACLU actually strengthen our Constitution" I respect much of the results of their work. Overall, they may actually be good for the country. And If they spent half as much time standing up for the second amendment as the first in the name of civil liberties, I'd come closer to respect their judgment.

Since the ACLU has never even read the Constitution, but only does cases based on its politics and leftist idealogy, you are not correct. Plus, half the time they win and tear down God's place in this country and lots of other terrible, unconstitutional things.
