American civil liberties union RIP

[BULLDOG]

So anybody that doesn't support Trump is anti American? What a goober you are.

Point of the Reason article is that ACLU is beholding to an OVERWHELMING preponderance of leftist funders. And Leftists are NOT Civil Libertarians. USED to be the Dems were overall more RELIABLE on ALL aspects of Civil Liberties. Like in ALL 10 of the Bill of Rights sections and specific dust-ups like asset forfeiture, emanate domain, government abuse of surveillance.

Leftists see the Bill of Rights as suggestions when it interferes with their wishes. And now you're progressive left wants to trash and rewrite large sections of the Constitution..

So like everything else -- like how this tribal partisan war virally spread public and to the media -- The ACLU finds itself picking and choosing ONLY the battles it's funders can stomach. And now there is Institute for Justice (actually more libertarian than conservative) that picks up all the OTHER cases that the ACLU won't handle.

Fact is -- THERE ARE NO CIVIL Libertarians in America's 2 parties anymore. They roll over on serious domestic spying problems and citizen abuse by govt/corporate collusion.

And what we GET to ATTEMPT to hold on to Civil Liberties is a bunch of PARTISAN protection agencies like ACLU or IJustice.

The article seemed to be whining because the ACLU has chosen positions the author didn't particularly like. It's perfectly natural that they would concentrate on the major issues of the day
Your diatribe about liberals seeing the Bill of Rights as only suggestions is not presented in the article, and is frankly bullshit. Try not to let your silly partisan accusations get in the way of an actual discussion about the link, if you can.
