wow... where to begin? The ACLU does not file that many lawsuits....the number they file versus the number heard overall by the courts makes your claim that it is a burden to the courts ridiculous.
Second...it is not a "Liberal" instituion. Some of our greatest allies are on the right, of the libertarian/classic conservative type, that believe in limiting government interferance in personal decisions and expressions. And yes, we have a lot of liberals too...who see the value of avoiding political controls over our basic rights.
Lastly...it's not up to you...this question is poorly framed. That enough people give money to an organization that it can survive as it has, even when it's used as a political canard (recall the accusations against dukakis that he was a member?), is a testimony that people want to use their free speech rights to support the causes of freedom and it's defense.
