Where is the ACLU on this issue?

From time to time I get asked why I don't give money to the ACLU. For  
3 years now I've been pointing at the NYC Subway's random search  
program and asking why the ACLU isn't fighting a blatant 4th amendment  
violator. I've been pointing at other government programs and  
initiatives enacted since 2001, and asking where the ACLU has been on  
those, as well.

From what I can see, the only thing the ACLU has done in the last 8  
years is write amicus briefs.

Who is willing to stand up and fight these abuses to the Supreme  
Court, where this issue belongs? Not giving up because the district  
judge rules against you, like the NYCLU did.
