As much as I disagree with 90% of what the ACLU comes up with, they get it right every now and then.

How dare the ACLU defend the rights of people we don't like.

The power to issue a license is the power not to issue a license.

Not at all.

The ACLU has different standards for what causes are worth defending than you or I might have, but they are not a purely liberal organization.  Some rights they seem to overlook, but they don't seem to rate them on a liberal/conservative scale.

They've supported very non-liberal causes in the past.  I expect they'll do so in the future.  

It really messes with some people, though, when they find out.

Can't wait to see how the liberals spin this.  

Maybe their "newscaster" Stewart can give them some ideas.

While the national branch can be useless, a lot of the state level ACLU branches are pro-2nd Amendment. A think the NV branch had it out pretty hard with the national branch over guns.

Yes.  They defended the right of people to state their opposition to a law.
You like being able to say 'The NFA is shit and needs to be repealed'?  Thats what they were defending

That's just crazy.  Everyone knows that your right to free speech ends where it deviates from the left's groupthink.
