    It's all very well and good to say "the ACLU should be a non-partisan organization open to civil libertarians of all stripes" but in reality George H. W. Bush attacked Dukakis in 1988 for being a "card-carrying member of the ACLU." So that ship sailed a long time ago.

        Just because repubs see them as partisan doesn't mean they have to be partisan.

        Isn't that essentially the same as right winger saying "leftys call me Nazi so I had no choice but to be one".

        Fallacious attacks from 30+ years ago justify the current transformation into an all-purpose liberal advocacy organization?

        You can't be "non-partisan" when one political party wants to destroy you. Not if you want to survive.

        Counterpoint: ACLU could strive to be non-partisan *in fact* irrespective of popular opinion.

        I'm sorry to say it, but the ship that sailed was the Democratic Party's willingness to nominate a presidential candidate whose views resemble the ACLU's.

        And when one looks at the origin of the ACLU, also pretty difficult to say that it needs to be non-partisan.
