Now there’s another thing Congress can do.
You know there are these Ten Commandment monuments everywhere. And they’re probably 10,000 monuments or plaques that are in public buildings or public parks around the country. There’s a pot of gold sitting under each one, which the ACLU is going after.
There is a court law passed during Watergate era that allows them to collect attorneys’ fees for these cases for these Ten Commandment and pledge cases, and because they’re claiming they have a civil right not to see the Ten Commandments, a civil right not to hear the word “God” in the pledge of allegiance.
They have a collected a huge amount. It is a neat fundraiser for the ACLU. There’s no excuse for Congress to not repeal this and make it impossible.
In Montgomery, Alabama, the ACLU the Americans United for Separation of Church and State (a southern comedy) collected over half a million dollars from the taxpayers from Alabama for arguing against the Ten Commandments.
The state of Tennessee had to pay $100,000 to one of these states and when the ACLU sued the Boy Scouts for using a public park they had used since 1915, the ACLU collected I think it was $700,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses. This is an outrage. snip
BETTER YET, HIT THE HOUSE AND SENATE AND DEMAND THIS RULING THAT ALLOWS ACLU'S ATTORNEYS TO COLLECT FEES FROM PROSECUTION BE OVERTURNED. THE ACLU WILL DISAPPEAR! 1-800-648-3516
