They are not and should not be a consistent critic of any administration. I see them as a non-partisan voice of the people for and against policies which otherwise are without a voice. When the administration issues a call against bad patents, the EFF supports and promotes that call When the administration issues a call to silence all discussion of warrantless wiretapping they denounce that call.
If they were entirely partisan or entirely anti-government they'd be a lot less effectual. By being issue-specific and in helping the government properly codify their own laws in addition to just slamming them for bad laws the EFF is a much more powerful and respectable entity worthy of our support.
