The ACLU actually does some good things. But they always undo whatever good they do by immediately proceeding to do some ham handed activity like this.
At the heart of it, the ACLU defends the poor, the powerless and people who piss us off. They represent people who are loathsome or say and do loathsome things. This annoys the powerful sometimes, but it is an essential function in our society.
BTW, and not for nuttin', as we say in Rhode Island, referring to the ACLU as a bunch of "Jewish lawyers" reveals an unschooled, bigoted mind. The ACLU exist for the sole purpose of defending all of us from such soft bigotry when it is practiced by an instrumentality of government.
