He had a congressman on from California that heard this. As a result, The Cogressman has PROMISED to introduce legislation to prevent this from happening in the future.

He could not believe it.

Yes, but they have to win the cases first, and then the judge has to decide it is justified to award attorney's fees.

This is a red herring. The problem is NOT that they are being awarded attorney's fees. In fact, we ought to see an expansion of "loser pay" in this country.

The problem is, of course, that they're winning cases that they shouldn't.

Well good. Glad it's out there. I could not get it to come up on search. I am getting tired of trying to search, then nothing, then getting told "already posted".

A true conservative president and a conservative led congress, would first of all, cut off all federal funds that go to those that oppose American values. I may disagree with many things Michael Savage proposes, but BORDERS+LANGUAGE+CULTURE are the principal American values. The Anti-CLU is against all three, plus nearly all others.

We should not in anycase be funding the suits.

Yeah, this story is worth posting (even though I think it's a red herring). But it's hard to do an adequate search on a talk show topic because there's no standard headline to search with.

I wrote this letter to all of my elected representatives please write yours.

"The ACLU is using my tax dollars to destroy the United States, just like the Islamic terrorist, except they are using our tax dollars to do it. Please repeal the law that allows the ACLU to use hard working American tax dollars to destroy our country.

The American people will be happy when this law is repealed."

Fine. Let's choke 'em with a red herring if that's what it takes.

We have to decide these principles separately. Either we believe in a loser pay system, or we don't. And again, it's important to remember we're not funding them per se, we're paying out only if we lose. I don't like it any more than you, but again, my real problem is that we shouldn't be losing these cases.

Now one thing I'd like to know is, do we have to pay if the case is overturned on appeal? I'd like to make sure that if we're going to have a loser pay system that the attorney's fees are held in escrow until the case is fully resolved.

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU Website seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history'

A Chicago man has launched a website to mobilize millions of Americans to consign the American Civil Liberties Union to the "ash heap of history."

The ACLU, says the website StopThe ACLU.org, is "relentlessly and fiercely assaulting America's foundations by feverishly working through activist court systems to impose same-sex marriage and remove all vestiges of the Ten Commandments wherever they may be posted."

Seems like a search for "ACLU" immediately before clicking the Post button would have done the trick.

No offense, just an observation.

The islamonazis are doing the same thing to us, scamming our system to send money back to fund terrorism.

So the ACLU and the islamos have something in common.

These enemies of the US must be stopped!

I did. I didn't or I didn't see it. I guess dupes are a bigger crime here than I realized.

Won't happen again
