And this is perhaps the main reason the "scum sucking" Lawyers sign on to serve the ACLU. Oh sure, I know they have to believe in their cause to some degree. But if the payment for services wasn't such a sure thing, you wouldn't see near as many Elitist minded, or opportunistic Lawyers sign on in the first place.
For some: It pays to be immoral. (but only temporarily)
The ACLU is all about money for the shysters. Well, that and destroying the United States.
