#1 if the ACLU were only perverts in pursuit of the perfect law in an impossibly imperfect world; ergo the enemy of good law, then theoretically their legal excursion might provide some instructive lessons for law students in a CLASSROOM.

Unfortunately it is our cursed misfortune that these bastards are *fucking with our children's REAL future by perverting the rules by which we live by and the rule book, our US Constitution.

*purposely with evil intent IMO.

#2 I consider the ACLU to be the most dangerous organization operating in the US today. They fool many thanks to the (apparent) fact that most folks don't ever hear of their actions - or when they do they're portrayed as freedom protectors by the MSM. I don't know when the takeover was completed, but it is a pure Stalinist Fifth Column today.

A segment (unknown size - someone could probably figure out how many lifetime appointments were handed out by Carter and Clinton) of the "judges" installed over the last 10-20 years are a close second, in terms of the danger they pose. They are the ACLU's facilitators and enablers.

And the MSM (it's why I almost always note when a story is from the least reliable source, the NYT) is the PR machine for the entire movement. Camo for Stalin's Neverending Socialist Front.

Hell is too good for these scumbags.

Here's hoping the Justice Dept's approach works.

#3 But the subpoena issued to the A.C.L.U. seeks any and all copies of a document e-mailed to it unsolicited in October

Same technique/game the ACLU uses against others. How does it feel a-holes?

#4 The Espionage Act makes it a crime for people who have unauthorized possession of some kinds of national security information to receive, retain, disseminate or refuse to turn it over to the government when asked. But A.C.L.U. lawyers say the document does not meet the statutes definition and that, in any event, a subpoena is an improper way to enforce the law.

So these "rights" a-holes are o.k. with arguing over a "definition" in this case, but not, when we're discussing the Geneva Conventions, their Holy Grail in their fight against Gitmo? In it, I believe the GC's "define" who is covered by it and protected by it, thusly. Needless to say, non-signatories and/or non-State "armies" are not "defined" as a protected class under the GCs right? IOW, terrorists, who do NOT wear an identifiable (State issued) uniforms, are NOT signatories themselves, who break all the rules anyways (intentional targetting of civilians, using "places of worship" as cover to fire from, etc.), and who INTENTIONALLY try and blend in with the civilian population are NOT "defined" as a protected class, eh, ACLU? Let's argue over definitions now, bee-atch.

#5 .com you are spot on in calling this a Stalinist 5th collumn group. They are a key player in the ongoing communist-inspired destruction of the USA. While the overt cold war was lost, these assholes and their many collaborators (MSM, professors and many elected democrats) are working hard to win the culture wars. They all want to see America as we know it brought down.
