The number of posts on this thread is now 98. I just did a search: No where is the ACLU (the alleged independent guardian of our free speech rights) mentioned in the commentary. I'm shocked, shocked.
I write a monthly piece of legal analysis (too dry and boring to post on FreeRepublic, LOL) with the continuing title, "ACLU Watch." Normally I attack the ACLU for the positions it takes. However, when the ACLU actually does what it claims as its purpose, "defend the Constitution," I praise it.
I wrote up McConnell v. FEC about six months ago, when the Supreme Court first took the case. In that write-up I praised the ACLU for its position in this particular case. I have been in constitutional litigation with the ACLU -- sometimes on the same side, sometimes on the opposite side. I give credit where credit's due. They are able allies, and fearsome opponents, depending on the case.

The Anti-Christian Lawyers Union is the biggest threat to freedom this country has ... although Shrillary gives 'em a good run for the money.
