ACLU-stands for what today?
The following paragraphs below are the beginning of a passage written by renowned Harvard Law attorney, Alan Dershowitz. It speaks volumes about what the ACLU has become today.
The American Civil Liberties Union on whose national board I used to serve with pride, raises vast sums of money claiming to defend the civil liberties of all Americans. Unfortunately, however, over the last several years it has turned from being a neutral civil liberties organization to a left wing, agenda-driven lobby group that protects its contributors and constituents while ignoring the civil liberties of Americans with whom it disagrees.
Sure, it occasionally defends a Nazi or Klansman as an easy pretend-show of its willingness to protect the free speech of the most despicable racists. But it has been scandalously silent when it comes to the real current threats to civil liberties and free speech, especially on university campuses where the hard left demands suspension of free speech and due process rights for those with whom it disagrees.
Now, since the election of President Donald Trump, it has sunk to a new low, becoming a cheerleader for the violation of the civil liberties of those with on the other side of the political spectrum.
In my opinion, just another Far-Left weaponized partisan club whose main interest is to cause demise and decay within in this nation. This speaks volumes about the corrupt nature and partisan hack attacks against our freedom, rather then protecting our freedoms in the manner in which they originally set out to do. They should be called Another Corrupt Legal Unit, truthfully.
