5-4 in favor of ACLU
The American Civil Liberties Union or ACLU influences government by testing the extremes of law and therefore forcing interpretations of the Constitution. The ACLU is a defining power in the country.

The US Supreme Court first convened in 1790, but the American Civil Liberties Union wasn't founded until 1920, 130 years later. So none of the early justices would have been members. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, a naturalized citizen, was one of the ACLU's founders. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an incumbent on the bench, helped create the organization's Women's Rights Project. Both justices also served as legal counsel for the ACLU. A private organization, the ACLU neither publishes a roster nor releases the names of its members without their consent. Membership has grown from approximately 300,000 in the mid-1990s to almost 500,000 in 2009.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was founded in 1920.

Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook are also options for outreach.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1980 until her appointment in 1993. Prior to that, Ginsburg served as General Counsel to the ACLU.
The ACLU
That is an important question when considering the ACLU. In fact the ACLU has nothing to do with any political party. They say: "The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country." So if Democrats somehow worked to reduce your rights under the Constitution the ACLU would fight that just as much as if Monarchists had somehow reduced your rights. Confusion comes in because the ACLU is dedicated to protecting your rights under the Constitution and Democrats are also generally dedicated to protecting your rights under the constitution. "Generally," but not always, Democrats have been the target of ACLU efforts in the past. A member of the Monarchist party, for example, would not be concerned with an individual's rights as Monarchists believe in the Divine Right of Kings and not in democracy. The ACLU would not allow the Constitution to be trampled by Monarchists or any other organized group.
