This is an outstanding thread on Volokh about not just the ACLU (with references to conservative cases), but on the bounds of rational vs. irrational discourse. Really well done.
I've never understood the knee-jerk reaction to some subset of conservatives/right-wing folks to the ACLU. The freedoms they defend are for all of us and, although they are not perfect, I'm very glad they exist even when I don't agree with them.

hmmm... It's always been my impression that the ACLU tends to argue negative rights from the constituion and positive rights from precident, a wholely fair framework within the estalished rules.
If you have examples of cases where this isn't true, I'd be willing to re-evaluate my position.
