The ACLU is working with Mr. Schiavo. There are your "unlimited resources."

The ACLU is helping Mr. Schiavo in his efforts to put down his wife, not with any libel actions. The ACLU, as insane as it is, is not going to help him go after some web sites, etc etc. The ACLU is crazy, but that would require them to contradict half the lawsuits they have going on out there. The ACLU is NEVER going to help Mr. Schiavo with any libel suits.

That's today. Tomorrow may be a different story.

False. They routinely decline to get involved with death penalty cases for murders committed by minors because doing so winds up raising the issue of whether minors can give consent for sex or abortion. We have here the ACLU's opposition to murder coming into conflict with its favoring abortion rights and sexual emancipation for minors.

If it helps the liberal extremist cause, they'll do it.

To use another example, think about NOW.

Why are they silent in the Schiavo case? A helpless wife is being put through pain and suffering by her spouse, who is prolonging her life longer than necessary, she has a right to die, she would be better off, etc.

They are contradicting themselves. WHY are they silent?

Because they CANNOT get embroiled in a "right to life" case, because this might in turn cause people to question why they protect Terri's life, but not that of an unborn fetus.

Similarly, the ACLU will chose the position that will help them the most, and they would jump at the chance to skewer the "right to life" movement and conservatives in general.
