Summary |
A report on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), considered the premier defender of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and the new direction it's taken since the election of President Donald Trump. The ACLU has formed a new grassroots mobilization program - "People Power", modeled after methods employed by the National Rifle Association (NRA); and has become more involved in candidate races, leading to concerns that the ACLU has become an advocacy organization. Includes interviews with: Anthony Romero, executive director, ACLU; David Cole, national legal director, ACLU; Faiz Shakir, political director, ACLU - who recently announced his departure; and Ira Glasser, former executive director, ACLU - who believes that the ACLU's involvement in candidate races has crossed the line into partisanship and is strategically weakening its mission |
