The ACLU helped a group of SI posters quash a ridiculous subpoena a few years ago. As one of their lawyers explained to me, the organization doesn't really have a singular voice. It's a bunch of independent chapters spread out across the country. When you hear of "the ACLU" doing something silly, it's more likely a case that some individual lawyer got a wild hair, but you shouldn't fault the ACLU as a whole. It doesn't make the news when they do dozens of good things, only when one of the chapters does one stupid thing.

"I used to support the ACLU, too, but no more. They have gone astray. Or maybe it's more apt to say that they've carried things too far and built up too much hostility both in themselves and in reactions against them."
