Irony At The ACLU

Via Instapundit, who got it from a New York Times article:

The American Civil Liberties Union is weighing new standards that would discourage its board members from publicly criticizing the organization's policies and internal administration...

Given the organization's longtime commitment to defending free speech, some former board members were shocked by the proposals.


Consistency. What a concept.

Conspiracy theory: The ACLU has been taken over by right wing extremists, who then make up absolutely bizarre cases to pursue knowing that no one at this point can take them seriously.

Too bad. They were good in their day.

...good in their day. Let's hope we don't need them again, for some future version of Brown v. Because none of my liberal friends take them seriously, either.

I hope we never again have to sue for something on the magnitude of Brown v. Board.
