In fact, a lot of people had been criticizing them in recent years for just becoming more of a generic liberal organization that goes along with whatever woke cause comes up as opposed to civil liberties. Of course, when they do actually stand up for civil liberties you get people going 'omg aclu defends nazis'.

so terrorism is a civil liberty? If they had targetted a pride event do you think the aclu would be defending them?

Freedom from warrantless backdoor searches is a civil liberty, according to the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

+1. Will never forget them trying to ban a book https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-ongoing-death-of-free-speech. Hopefully, someone reminded them what “civil liberties” mean.

Totally agree. They lost their way and became irrelevant.

Sooo ACLU is defending a Nazi's right to terrorism without government interference? And this means they've found their way again? Yikes.

You like the idea of warrantless
government searches?

The march in Skokie was in 1977. Nearly 50 years ago.

They've been remarkably consistent.

No they certainly have not.

No. They are not defending terrorism. Use your critical thinking skills.

+100. They have been co-opted and have abdicated their original mission and are a fundamentally unserious civil rights organization. Even their former directors have spoken out against what they have become.
