Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics are enough to explain the downfall of ACLU:
1. Everyone is conservative about what they know best
2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing
3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies
