#1 ACLU makes for strange bedfellows at times. Usually, I am suspect of them too. A couple of other watchdog groups working to maintain rights are: Judicial Watch (political corruption watchdog), Media Research Center (MSM bias watchdog), EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) {collection/use of data watchdog). They are somewhat disparate groups.

#2 This may constitute heterodox thought but I do think the ACLU does some useful things. They are firm advocates of free speech and of privacy, and that's important to all of us. That they are kooky in a number of other cases just means that we have to filter what they say/do.

#3 "They are firm advocates of free speech and of privacy as long as it doesn't involve guns"

FTFY, Steve.

#4 As I understand Champ's position, anything a federal employee does is top secret; and anything a private citizen does is fair game for surveillance and disclosure. That's not what I got out of the Constitution.

#5 Asshole, plenty of people were worried about it, on all sides, and now everyone's suspicions are true. If there is a person in the ACLU who has picked up a history book they know that if there are detailed files about his enemies, then there are binders full of his allies - to you in line and to yank the chain.

If the ACLU thinks its the coq of the yard, it should also realize its the next on the block.

Perhaps TOTUS was detained for mentioning in a good light a Bush policy.

As modest as Ron Jeremy in a thong selling bibles door-to-door. If this Boooosh policy was so bad, why was it not cancelled? Liar.

#6 With all the scandals and revelations about this administration, do you think he will soon carry this sign ?
