We are being sued with our own money!!
Isn't Congress a wonderful thing??
He could not believe it.
More data please!!!
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.
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.
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The American people will be happy when this law is repealed."
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!
"We are being sued with our own money!!"
Conversely, some people are suing to GET their own money back!
There should be lawsuits filed by individuals around the country against the ACLU for what they've been pulling.

Our purpose is to be the sword and shield for people of faith, providing legal representation without charge to defend and protect Christians and their religious beliefs in the public square.
Yep. Betcha it is the same sort of setup in the other liberal legislate-through-litigation organizations too.
The ACLU, like any other litigant who sues for violations of civil rights laws, only gets attorney's fees if they prevail.
The alternative would be for persons to violate civil rights and get away with it because litigants could not not afford to litigate.
I don't have time to read through this entire thread, but is there a petition being circulated to call for Congress to repeal this law?
The IRS should determine whether the ACLU----through its Foundation----is properly accounting for all of its tax-funded activities, whether it is inflating legal costs, and whether the ACLU is using tax dollars for the purposes stated.
As part of the Tax Exempt Compensation Enforcement Project, the IRS announced it intends to examine non-profit organizations (NPO's) and foundations, to learn more about the practices nonprofits follow as they fill out Form 990, the main public disclosure documents for NPO's, including charities and foundations, and whether accounting fraud and tax evasion is taking place, and whether the compensation of specific individuals is excessive and, and whether instances of questionable compensation practices may evade IRS, and US banking laws.
We need to know whether the ACLU is engaged in Enron-style accounting and spending practices using our tax dollars, and whether the ACLU is cooking the books.
I knew someway somehow we would find they use Taxpayer money. Now they can no longer be considered a private and secretive organization, they are subject to investigation for corruption.
