No, hiring Chase is the result of the ACLU's shift in policy, not the cause.

Lots of interviews with & stories about former ACLU head Ira Glasser can be found online that shed light on the sea change.

Also search for articles by & interviews with former board member Wendy Kaminer, author of the 2009 book Worst Instincts: Cowardice, Conformity, and the ACLU
