ACLU SAYS U.S. SHOULD DISARM
..."I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."
(Peggy Lamson, Roger Baldwin: Founders of the American Civil Liberties Union: A Portrait; Boston: Houghton-Mifflin, 1976, p. 192.)

ACLU SUED TO STOP THIS LAW
ARIZONA's LAW PASSED BY THE VOTE OF PEOPLE
The measure would:
• Require proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
• Require ID at polling places.
• Require verification of immigration status for public benefits.
• Require government workers to alert immigration officials of suspected undocumented immigrants seeking benefits. Workers who do not comply could face four months in jail and a $750 fine.
• Allow residents to sue state or local government to remedy immigration violations.

You might need the ACLU to defend your rights some day.
They defend liberal and conservative causes.
Try to read more and learn before you make such sweeping statements.
You sound very biased without examples to support your ideas.

Not sure when, but as far as I'm concerned, they are a threat to national security, should be labeled judicial terrorist, be required to follow an set agenda or be out lawed. Feel pretty much the same about the UN that wants to disarm all Americans, amoung other things.

The American Criminal Liberties Union has always been as you describe (at least in my memory).

We don't hear about 99% of what they do.
It's only the unpopular stuff that you hear about in the news.
