I agree that the ACLU is disgraceful, but I disagree that they are on the ropes. They have had many victories in court. The most recent to have film and pictures from Abu Ghraib released.
I haven't heard if the government plans to appeal. Also, this will be another orgy of media military and Bush bashing.
Bush has been so passive and weak lately, I'm not optimistic that they have a smart plan for dealing with this.
I know the title makes it seem like the ACLU is faltering, but check out the article at the link.
You are right, they are as aggressive as ever. The Bush administration DOES need to address the issue.
ACLU lawyers are not pro-bono as we understand the term. When they win a case, they are awarded "reasonable and customary" fees...this is the threat they hold over people. They sue you and then make you pay their salary.
But when they lose, they don't have to pay for the defendant's fees. That's something we could change that would help...
They are also part of Soros' army.
Bush really knots 'yer shorts?
Think they got the gonads to go after the religious references and symbols in D.C.? I doubt it. They seem to get aroused going after the small fry.
Consider this. Why was that even a court decision????????? Shows how much decision making we have given up to the courts which are drunk with power.
