I see the good and bad in both. The 9th is appointed by people with a weak sense of intellectual clarity. I don't know what else to do but spread the word that their conclusions are dangerous in many instances. One of the worst rulings they made recently was to suggest that the second amendment only preserves the right to keep and bear arms for the national guard. But we vote for the people who appoint these judges. We ourselves are to blame for their misuse of authority. I also blame the ACLU for taking advantage of very positive aspects of our Constitution to twist meaning around. The ACLU is very good at reframing arguments. We have to get better at that ourselves.

Every time the ACLU "wins" one of these cases, 500,000 more undecided voters pull the lever for the Republican. Let's hope the trend continues.
While all of the drama plays out in our courts, the memorial is being covered and recovered, and sometimes defaced by lawless criminals who face little or no resistance from our law enforcement officials. I would like to see this memorial better protected while we wait for the courts to finally rule that the memorial, like gravestones in a military cemetery, has a permanent place in our nation's history.
It deserves our protection.
The lawlessness of those who hate this monument enough to desecrate it speaks volumes about their lack of honor.
remind these left-wing radical activists judges, lawyers, and politicians that the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was written to PROTECT US from TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENTS! Our own!
The drafters realized that the politicians, lawyers, and judges would eventually find that they could decree themselves MASTERS over the free citizens. The Second Amendment is OUR direct recourse of action to right the wrongs created by these dictators.
I think that may be just exactly right.
Just like in the LA County Seal case:
The ACLU has no objection to the central element of the seal, which is a depiction of the pagan Roman Goddess of Fertility. But those teeny-tiny crosses over on the right have to go...
Hey, if my position had just been upheld by the 9th Circuit, I'd wanted acted on as soon as possible also.
The ALCU is removing the freedom to express religion on Government land, land that the Constitution says the Government does not have the right to claim in the first place!
If law breaker A makes a deal with Law breaker B to make law abider C do what is not a law, is there any freedom left under the Constitution they both use to hide behind?
Will any of them eat when the economy collapses under their bloodsucking weight? Because neither Lawyers or Politicians know how to actually produce anything. Both exist on what they can convince other producing people to give them by hook or crook.
Indeed!
This is sickening. This decision - and all those regarding church and state - is clearly lacking in constitutional logic and the courts should hang for engaging in and promoting cross burning. They should be penalized for listening to such a blatantly frivilous case in the first place.
No. It was placed there as a reminder that brave and courageous men fought for their country and the US Constitution so lesser men could be free along the ACLU to continue to slam America and American values.
Thanks for the ping!
Yep, the only religion they'll "allow" is Islam. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they start ordering churches to be blown up, just like the 10,000 year old Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
The Muslim call to prayer in Hamtranck, Michigan is going to stop soon, right ACLU?
Ruth Bader-Ginsberg was the Chief Counsel for the ACLU...look where she is now!
The Tyranny of the Minority strikes again. I have one suggestion-When ANYONE is running for ANY elected office, even dog catcher, I want their political party affiliation listed right next to their name.
This goes for judges especially. I'm tired of having to guess about this- or having to make an extra call to find out if my party endorses them.
I asked about putting the party name of judges on the ballot once and was told "judges are supposed to be impartial, therefore it's not necessary to put what political party they are registered with."
This is pure BS. Especially since there are "activist" judges. The people have a right to know what party these candidates identify themselves with. There needs to be a D or R next to every name on the ballot.

The Liberty Sucking Vampires can't bear the sight of the cross and must do their dirty work under the darkness of activists courts. The seek to destroy the Light of Providence that overlooks our country.
