For the longest time, the ACLU has been an arm of the Democrat party. Nevertheless, the ACLU leadership constantly claimed to be non-partisan. Now, however, the ACLU is actually running ads in key states attacking Bret Kavanaugh and calling for the local senator to vote against his confirmation. Here's a link to an example.
That is a clear partisan shot in support of Democrats during an election campaign. It also ought to be considered enough of an involvement in partisan politics that the ACLU should lose its status as a charitable organization.
I have no problem with the ACLU campaigning for the Democrats. This is America, and it is the right of everyone to have and express political views. It is wrong, indeed a crime, however, for a supposed non-profit with tax free status to engage in political campaigning.
The Justice Department should be investigating this mess immediately and the tax exempt status of the ACLU should be rescinded.
