#1 Quite frankly the ACLU should be stripped of its non-profit status. It long ago ceased any real public service and now spends its time trying to blackmail state and local governments to submit to its political agenda. The ACLU has become virulently anti-Christian and prohomosexual. No visible evidence of Christianity is too small to escape lawsuits. At one point they even tried to have crosses removed from cemetaries. OK for schools to have menorahs, crescents, kwanzaa stuff, but the ACLU will rain hellfire on them if someone tries to sing Silent Night at a Winter Solstice program. The Boy Scouts have become a particular target of this hate group for refusing (quite rightly) to let admitted homosexuals be scoutmasters. They are relentlessly pursued by battalions of ACLU lawyers trying to bleed their coffers white for standing up to the PC crowd. Can you imagine how many parents would be willing to let their sons go on an overnight campout with a homosexual scoutmaster? The fact that this is even an issue, let alone a court case is defacto evidence of how the ACLU has perverted the American legal system to support their own political agenda.

#2 There has to be a legal method to hit the ACLU with scores of multi-lawsuits in all 50 states in order to drain these commies.

Dig up dirt on them. Any federal, state or city violation which can be used, hit them hard, over and over again. Tie them up in court so they can only focus on remaining out of jail themsleves.

#3 Stripping the ACLU of its non-profit status would be a very effective legal way to "hit" the ACLU. Without non-profit status, the ACLU's donations would be cut signifigantly because there'd be no tax breaks for the donors.

Another way to "hit" the ACLU is for Ashcroft to have his Justice department submit amicus briefs with the defendent's side any time the ACLU takes a case to court.

Also, whenever the ACLU loses, the defendent's lawyers should insist that the plaintiff's side [ACLU] be awarded ALL court costs.

#4 Ramona Ripston has been seen down at Santa Monica Beach looking for a shark that will sue. She feels that sharks are denied due process because the fact that there is an alarm every time a shark is spotted. She feels that sharks have a right to bite off an arm or leg of a surfer. She thinks they have a right not to starve, and she wants to stop the alarms.

#5 Being from Los Angeles, I can assure everyone that the City of Los Angeles is not known for being a supporter of Christianity. Maybe the City should defend the case by claiming that the cross is really a lonely "t".

#6 re #4 - considering the surfers I know, I have to side with the sharks on this one...

#7 I demand Los Angeles immediately change it's name from the oppressive dead white male Christian Patriarchy "The Angels" to something more in solidarity to the citizens of the world. And what about the overtly Crusading monikers of San Francisco and San Diego?

I demand New Tehran, Stalingrad, and New Mecca respectively. George would have approved.
