The ACLU is getting weird. This is one of those situations where the old ACLU would have adopted the more principled due-process stance and just taken a day or two of lumps from angry lefties online. New ACLU is a bit less focused on free speech/due process -- more political.https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1063456583957524480 …

Yeah, there's a lot of reasons for it - generational shift, expansion of mission, the imperatives of opposing Trump, etc. - but money sadly plays a big role. They got millions upon millions in the last year not from civil liberties supporters but from Trump opponents & liberals.

I disagree with this stance of theirs, but I think the ACLU’s current political militancy is largely a function of who happens to be holding power.

Republicans only support due process when it helps their base or donors. It's like if Republicans proposed a law giving more due process rights to white males but no one else. Sexual assault/harassment laws disproportionately apply to white males, so Republicans don't like them
