ACLU took the wrong side, being a slanderous Ghost Writer for Amber Heard.

What is Romero and the ACLU were doing in the middle of this celebrity scandal?
They were glory seeking on a #MeToo opportunity, by not vetting their client, and not vetting the information they ghost wrote for her, that Slandered/Libelled Johnny Depp. Instead of taking the pro civil rights position, they tried to be bullies, hacks and attention seekers, bringing shame to what they once stood for.
"Under Romero, the ACLU has become openly political and increasingly scandal-prone. The political agenda has corrupted the organization in the sense of cutting it adrift from the strong principles that once held it firmly to its original mission. I have no doubt that the new direction is motivated by deeply held political values. I also do not believe that it has taken this course for purely monetary gains or donations. It is corrupted in the sense of debasing its legacy. The ACLU once represented something more than just another political advocacy group." |
Also,
"The ACLU was once the North Star for those of us in the civil liberties community. The loss of the organization as an independent and apolitical voice in our legal system has been devastating. The emergence of the ACLU at the heart of one of the most sordid celebrity trials in history is the final measure of the decline of this once celebrated civil liberties group. It was not easy to get here. It took the determined work of former President Susan N. Herman, current president Deborah Archer, and Romeo to erase decades of apolitical and impactful advocacy on behalf of civil liberties for all. The trial put the new ACLU on full review as just another political advocacy group. What many saw was not the courageous group that once defended the free speech rights of Nazis. Instead, what they saw was an organization seemed to be pandering to celebrities." |
I think that spends way too much time fawning and pretending they were something they weren't. But at least they could pretend to be somewhat nonpartisan by occasionally taking the other side, and defending liberties over the agenda. But for my lifetime they've continued the slide from being about civil liberties, to be a mouthpiece for the DNC and any far-left causes, no matter how unjust or how many civil rights they need to crush to get there.
