The ACLU, or American Civil Liberties Union, is an organization that works to promote some liberties (but not by a strict definition of such) in the United States. The ACLU does attempt to protect important liberties such as free speech and freedom from Federal government surveillance, but they also work to promote and extended false freedoms. For instance, the right to work is not a right at all, instead it is a violation of rights of the owner of the company; if someone can not be fired by law, the owner is having their right to free association violated.

The ACLU was opposed to the Bricker Amendment which would have solved the extraconstitutional treaties loophole. Because of the actions of the ACLU in the past, they had an active hand in enabling the War on Drugs we have today, which is implemented via a treaty known as the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.

The ACLU has evolved from a dubious civil liberty organisation, choosing to promote the 'civil liberties' it deems best at the time and condemn others, to being a soapbox for the left.
