The ACLU used to be my favorite organization to donate to. They had a set of principles and defended them rigorously. Due to the way US jurisprudence works, most people who are victimized by laws and courts are criminals and general scum. It takes maturity to rise above that initial distaste and accept that criminals and scum not only have rights too, but are the most important people to defend from victimization. Not every civil rights case will be Rosa Parks.
Needless to say, I no longer donate to the ACLU. I know why they have changed, but I do not like it. I will not support it. They can take their dirty money and play their political games by themselves. There are many good charities that need support.
