Each time we back or support the ACLU or related groups, we help raise the taxes of all Americans. Each time they file a lawsuit and it goes to court. We the taxpayers pick up the cost. When the Government losses a case we the people of that government also have to pay with higher taxes or the loss of freedom. Just look at there own web site http://www.acluohio.org/issues/ImmigrantRights/default.asp on immigration on the site under "what you can do" They write. "Tell others that no person is "illegal." Even if an immigrant is undocumented, that is not a crime. It is a lesser kind of violation, like a traffic offense." It is a crime and it is a crime for American Business to hirer any illegal immigrant. Just read "U.S. Code as of: 01/03/05 Section 1325. Improper entry by alien"

They also are now going to fight the will of the voting public in California on Proposition 8 http://www.aclu.org/lgbt/relationships/37706prs20081105.html twice the voting public said yes to marriage being between a Man and Women. In America the rule of peoples vote is the backbone of this society. The Government and the people there in is not stopping who you love, they are just protecting the fabric of society. There is one main reason why the government protects marriage is that marriage is the way to a health society and it produces the next generation of workers, solders, and palpitations. That is something that homosexuals can not do.

In the case of Intelligent Design they say that teaching it is in violation of the first Amendment requirement of separation of church and state. http://www.acluohio.org/issues/IntelligentDesign/default.asp here is Amendment I in The Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights.
