A.C.L.U. Will Consider Disciplining 2 Officials

From the New York Times:

The American Civil Liberties Union, which since its inception has fought to protect free speech rights, is scheduled to begin a debate today over whether to discipline – or potentially move to oust – two board members for speaking to reporters.

The executive committee of the A.C.L.U. board will discuss whether Wendy Kaminer and Michael Meyers have acted inappropriately as board members. The two have criticized some actions by the executive director, Anthony D. Romero, and the executive committee for what they said was a failure to provide proper oversight.

Or in other words:  “all your dissent are belong to us!”

Noting ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero’s “furious” reaction to information about ACLU’s privacy-threatening fundraising practices having been leaked to the press, the Volokh Conspiracy’s Orin Kerr quips, “I thought the ACLU called this sort of thing ‘whistleblowing,’ not ‘stealing.’ Or is it stealing when the whistle is blown on the ACLU?”

    Hypocrisy and selective action from the ACLU?  Inconceivable!

    Maybe they should get the ACLU to represent them. Oh wait.. nevermind.

    You know, I always wondered why at all the charity watch websits, the ACLU is the only major organization that refuses to disclose their financial data. Hmm..

    Bastards!

    You’d think they would have fired Michael Meyers a long time ago after all those murders ….
