So whatever they decide is a civil liberty is a civil liberty and whatever else is in the Constitution that they don't like is not.

Great argument.

I left the ACLU (yes, I was a "card carrying" member) over Skokie. I remember the popular line was "I may hate what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." In Skokie, I realized that a Nazi group where death is an actual part of their culture may have a Constitutional right to do something, but I will not defend them "to the death" or with my money or the implied assent of my membership in the ACLU.

Does the ACLU care that I (and many other) left. Probably not. But neither do I care whether they care.
