> “My successor, and the board of directors that have supported him, have basically tried to transform the organization from a politically neutral, nonpartisan civil liberties organization into a progressive liberal organization,” Glasser says about Anthony Romero

I’m surprised but then not to see Glaser has the same opinion of Romero that I do. I’m a card carrying member of the ACLU but even a decade ago I realized Romero was not a straight shooter. The ACLU newsletter had become a work of propaganda. Before I started sending it to /dev/null I would open it up, work up a frothy outrage at some documented injustice, only to be left annoyed when I googled for further details and realized Romero’s team had completely misrepresented the facts. It’s not that I disagree with defending someone who murdered a pizza delivery guy in front of his family (read up on the Juwan Wickware case). That’s what lawyers do. But the ACLU didn’t misrepresent the facts to make the Skokie Nazis seem like they were Boy Scouts.
