Bob Barr has become quite a champion for the ACLU.
He was right in there with Academic Librarians in Criticizing the Patriot Act.

For a Republican, he was also a good Congressman. If you had a problem all you had to do was write. If any government injustice was taking place, he'd look into it.

All this coming from a COMPLETE liberal, mind you. He makes my head explode too, but he's been very active in promoting civil rights and electronic rights as well.
