The ACLU has issued a list of rights people should know when traveling for the Fourth of July. What's interesting is the number of self-identified "Constitutionalists" who would accuse the ACLU of being anti-American. Undoubtedly an ACLU advocate would argue his or her Constitutionalist credentials just as eagerly and vigorously as any Tea Party enthusiast. And both have a right to do so. Neither would be correct to do so to the exclusion of the other.
