In their limited scope of "civil rights" they do have principles. While I wish they would learn that the number 2 existed, they have also done things that I strongly agree with. Best example from my own area, they got involved when a Chief of Police denied CPR to a man "known to be in an intimate relationship with another man". The man subsequently died and the chief and town were sued. This wasn't a cop who chose not to provide CPR (that is always a personal choice), this was a cop who physically prevented a lay rescuer from providing CPR and enlisted his subordinates to enforce that edict.

The site doesn't have the finished story. When I called for an update, intending to write an article for a newsletter, I was told "the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties." This is usually code for "the town paid out millions and got a gag order in return."

I don't agree with everything ACLU does, but I'm glad they are there to stand up when some thug with a badge decides you deserve to die for no reason other than said thug's own prejudice. TSA is no better than that police chief, and I want someone with the stones to stand against them when a passenger get d!cked over.
