My problem with the ACLU is they promote themselves as defenders of
the Bill of Rights. Yet they are very selective of what rights they
defend.

Actually, the ACLU has an extremely consistent record of
unconditionally defending civil liberties, without respect to race,
creed, color ... or popularity.

From the ACLU web site:

"Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which
consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three
post-Civil War amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th) and the 19th Amendment
(women's suffrage), adopted in 1920."


Yet never once have they defended the 2nd amendment.
Or the 9th, 10th...

Their take on the others is anything but consistent.

See how often they've intervened when a conservative or libertarian, such as
Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Ward Connerly, etc., have been shut down,
intimidated....
