The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida has followed the lead of the ACLU of Central Florida, the ACLU of Monroe County Florida, and the ACLU of the Treasure Coast (Florida), all of which followed the lead of the ACLU of Southern California in backing impeachment and calling for the National ACLU to do the same.

The ACLU was a prominent supporter of Richard Nixon’s impeachment. In 2006 an ACLU panel argued for impeachment. In recent years, the national ACLU has lobbied against numerous offenses that appear quintessentially impeachable, but refused , despite intense lobbying by its members and others, to back impeachment. The national ACLU recently announced a new motto that many impeachment advocates view as a wish for the impossible (a reference to the current presidential administration): “One More Year, No More Damage.”

Richard W. Spisak Jr. of the ACLU of Florida reported that the state chapter met in Fort Myers at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and passed a motion in support of impeachment hearings for George Bush and Richard Cheney. The motion calls on the National ACLU to urge hearings in the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. Florida Congressman Robert Wexler, a member of that committee, has recently been leading a push for hearings to begin. Florida citizens have been pushing for impeachment for a long time.

These petty dung sluices realize that the window of opportunity to exact revenge on Bush/Cheney is closing, so they're all beginning to throw a Hail Marx for the endzone. For traitors and subversives to cry "TREASON!" against our elected officials should be be a capital crime in and of itself.

Florida moonbats have been pushing their brains out their ears for a long time.

Sgt Brian Joseph Tutten from St. Augustine was killed by an IED on Christmas Day and was buried here last week. The local “Grandmothers For Peace” changed their nauseating weekly “Impeach Bush” demonstration from Saturday to the day of his burial, just as a special touch. May the hags get what’s coming to them.

ACLU lacks standing in the impeachment venue.
