Actually, these rights existed before the ACLU was even formed.
See the Eight Amendment provisions on "Cruel and Unusual Punishment," 
and see the First Amendment as regards "Freedom of Speech" and 
"Establishment of Religion."

The ACLJ is a (deliberate) twisted parody of the ACLU.  The overall
intent is to shape our schools and other public institutions into
the mold of a particular faction of Christianity.  There's little room
in Robertson's world for homosexuals, atheists, or people who make
moral arguments from anything other than an inerrant collection of 
scriptures.
