I'm sorry, but you are simply wrong. The only agenda the ACLU has is preserving the Bill of Rights for the benefit of all Americans. There are a lot of people who seem to be incapable of realizing how the ACLU is serving their interests, but it does nonetheless. The most challenging thing about what it does is that often the cases it takes on are unpopular, but that is the crux of the issue. The Bill of Rights protects all citizens, but the protections it offers are significantly more important for those who are in the minority, and often, those who are in the minority are so because they hold unpopular beliefs. If supporting the majority position is your choice, that's fine, but if it is the only choice, then it isn't a choice at all. The ACLU is working to preserve that choice. I don't care what issue you disagree with the actions of the ACLU about, they are still serving your interests. You may not believe it, but you're wrong.

The decision was not made by one or a few individuals. And further, if you think the existence of Grex was not threatened by Michigan Public Act 33 of 1999, then you do not understand the law as it was written, period. (Sorry!)
