New York, D.C., California and Wyoming . . . ?

Wyoming does not belong in the same group as these other jag-offs. Even coyotes and federal agents enjoy a higher status in Wyoming than the ACLU. There is something about all the clean air, fresh water and high elevations there which breeds sanity into people.

May they all go straight to hell.

Hell is their proper home and the reason they are working so tirelessly to make America just like it.

This is what happens when you drift ever leftward.

This is what happens when even the republicans don't stand up for what's right, moral, and constitutional. The ACLU simply doesn't have anyone to sue.

Actually since we now have criminals in our streets, illegal aliens with full benefits and total impunity, perverts teaching in our schools, and cops afraid to do their jobs, there’s not really much left for the ACLU to do. That’s why they are laying off staff. America is a mess. Mission accomplished.

Sometimes cardboard or dull-edged sheet metal works too.

Freeing them up to collect unemployment while they help Hillary get reelected?

Thanks for doing the math for the Americans with a basic math deficiency.

The other good news has been the lack of jobs for new lawyers.

About the only thing they qualify for is asking, “Would you like fries with your order!”

“This is what happens when you drift ever leftward.”

OR it’s what happens when your goals are met by a friendly Administration.

The American Civil Liberties Union this week laid off 23 employees, about 7 percent of the organization’s national staff.

Please tell me why this is news, or a bad thing.

23 Employees was 7% of their staff? Though I’m sure they’re WELL financed, that’s NOT a very large organization regarding manpower.

Of course it probably doesn’t take much manpower to target someone for destruction, file some frivolous lawsuits, and bankrupt them in years of litigation....

-—running out of targets. That’s correct only in the sense that they’re running out of targets that they want to destroy. They would have plenty of work if they were willing to take on the Odumbo/Jared/AttyGen/Clinton cartel. But their main source of income is indeed tax dollars that they get paid whenever they file federal lawsuits. Win or lose they get paid. But they just can’t bring themselves to help clean up the dimocrat DC. Just for starters they could clean up the EPA by getting rid of some heavy handed krap. But that would be hurting their fellow travelers.

They need to raise wages for their workers to $15 an hour.
