Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics are enough to explain the downfall of ACLU:

1. Everyone is conservative about what they know best

2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing

3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies

I don't know about others but I'm totally the opposite of #1. The more I know about a domain the more I am willing to propose new ways of doing things in that domain. I am conservative about things I don't understand because I don't feel like I know enough to break the rules effectively.
