They definitely do, but I was speaking in particular to their more controversial actions. They've done many good defenses of politically left or fairly neutral things, but I can't think of any on the right side of the spectrum in recent memory and as someone with fairly moderate political views, that does concern me a bit.

Except for guns, I can't think of a single issue where the right is more on the side of civil liberties than the left.
There are also some things you could debate about religious freedom there too, but I'm generally in agreement.
However I'm not just talking about that, I'm also talking about them defending civil rights for everyone, not just those on the left. They used to be very good about this, standing up for protesters on both sides for example, but now I'm not so sure.
