Watch for more of these frauds on Free Republic, posing as scientific, while promoting much of the ACLU fanatical liberal political agenda.
I hope that you're not just now figuring this out.
I was once liberal enoiugh to below to the ACLU, but during the 1960s they were taken over by a new breed. A journalist named John Roche, who was a leading member, alerted me that the organization had taken a sharp turn left. The differences between old fashioned liberals like Hubert Humphrey and “progressives” like George McGovern became all too obvious in 1972.
Isn’t the ACLU tax-exempt as a non-political organization? It’s well past time to review that status.
So, what are the grounds for impeachment -- Bush was right...
Six paragraphs, no charges. Some journalism.
Yada Yada Yada
I wish they would just poop or get off the pot. If they’re gonna do it, then DO IT!
Just be prepared for the blood in the streets that will come with it...
If the ACLU’s case was the lack of enforcement and the Constitutional responsibility to protect the Border then they would have a case and point for impeachment.
from the article: “Florida citizens have been pushing for impeachment for a long time.”
There you have it... grounds for impeachment (because Bush “stole” the 2000 election). Either that, or the grounds are the “Florida citizens want it”.
So, if you “steal” an election it’s a “high crime and misdemeanor” and worthy of impeachment.
Never mind that he didn’t steal anything, it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters, dontcha know.
“Impeachment for what? What are their grounds for impeachment?”
I believe they think that Bush needs a warrant for spying on phone calls from the U.S. to foreign countries. Unfortunately for them, the judges who Bush is ostensibly supposed to ask for permission do not agree:

As for Dick Cheney, they just don’t like him, which in the demented world of certain Liberals, is an impeachable offense.
Actually you could write perfectly reasonable impeachment articles against President Bush for failing in his constitutional duty to take care that the immigration laws are faithfully executed, and failing to guard our southern border from invasion. The problem of course is, those are Bush policies that the ACLU and the Democratic Congress are in favor of!
All this impeachment talk is just demented Liberals blowing off steam.
In 2000, a Boston couple, Robert and Barbara Curley, sued NAMBLA. According to the Curley’s suit, Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari (who were convicted of murdering the Curleys’ son, Jeffrey) “stalked Jeffrey Curley... and tortured, murdered and mutilated [his] body on or about October 1, 1997. Upon information and belief immediately prior to said acts Charles Jaynes accessed NAMBLA’s website at the Boston Public Library.” According to police, Jaynes had eight issues of a NAMBLA publication in his home at the time of his arrest. The lawsuit further alleges that “NAMBLA serves as a conduit for an underground network of pedophiles in the United States who use their NAMBLA association and contacts therein and the Internet to obtain child pornography and promote pedophile activity.”[38]
Citing cases in which NAMBLA members have been charged with and convicted of sexual offenses against children, Larry Frisoli, the attorney representing the Curleys, argued that it is a “training ground” for adults who wish to seduce children, in which men exchange strategies on how to find and groom child sex partners.[39] He also claims that NAMBLA has sold at its website what he calls “The Rape and Escape Manual” that details how to avoid being caught and prosecuted.
The American Civil Liberties Union stepped in to defend NAMBLA as a free speech matter and won a dismissal based on the fact that NAMBLA is organized as an unincorporated association, not a corporation. John Reinstein, the director of the ACLU Massachusetts, said that although NAMBLA “may extol conduct which is currently illegal”, there was nothing on its website that “advocated or incited the commission of any illegal acts, including murder or rape”.[40] The Curleys continued the suit as a wrongful death action against individual NAMBLA members, some of whom were active in the group’s leadership.[21]
The targets of the wrongful death suits were Roy Radow, Joe Power, David Miller, Peter Herman, Max Hunter, Arnold Schoen and David Thorstad, a co-founder of NAMBLA and well-known writer. The Curleys alleged that Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, who were convicted of the rape and murder of their ten-year-old son Jeffrey, were NAMBLA members.
As of April 2005 the wrongful death cases were still being considered by a Massachusetts federal court, with the American Civil Liberties Union assisting the defendants on the grounds that the suit violated their First Amendment rights to free speech.[2] The American Civil Liberties Union makes it clear, however, that it does not endorse NAMBLA’s objectives. “We’ve never taken a position that sexual-consent laws are beyond the state’s power to legislate,” John Reinstein, attorney for the Massachusetts branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, said in 1997. “I’ve never been able to fathom their position.” (Boston Globe, October 9, 1997).

How about taking kickbacks from the Red Chinese ?
Bring it on! Any serious attempt at impeachment by the moonbats will help the GOP more than it hurts them.
For a long time I have said that the ACLU should be investigated using the RICO statutes. The majority of their funding comes from government funds won as the results of suits, brought in specific areas where they have sway over the judges and local bar associations. Another is to bring suit against small local governing bodies and threaten huge HUGE damages and cost the locals huge attorneys fees to defend.
The ACLU = Antiamerican Criminal Liberties Union.
Rabid hate for the occupant of the White House is not sufficient ground for Impeachment.
Perhaps under Scottish Law?
