Marc, I see it as the ACLU probably attracts more liberal people to 
their cause, and as a result their leadership tends to be people who 
bring along ideals from their respective political party. These ideals 
then filter into the ACLU's official policy, which ends up upsetting 
members with somewhat conservative points of view, and you have a cycle 
of leadership that becomes more liberal with each generation.
