I'm very happy to see the ACLU take a stand on principles that are no doubt currently in conflict with their personal political views.

  ACLU has never let their personal political views affect their principles. As an example, ACLU defended Rush Limbaugh [1] when the state seized his medical records in a drug probe.

    Well, they don't support any second amendment cases, so they do pick and choose a bit about which civil liberties they care about. But they are good about uniform support of the 1st.

    This is unfortunately not true at all -- the second amendment being the most obvious case in point. I am a big ACLU donor despite this. I have an assigned "individual giving officer," and I plan to continue to make significant contributions to their cause. I wish they would be more willing to set aside personal political views.

  I'm very happy to see the ACLU take a stand on principles that are no doubt in conflict with those of people who have been increasing their donations since the election of Trump. That's the real sign of integrity IMO.
