So, America voted for change? They should be careful what they ask for because they will get it. For those that voted or stayed home in order to send the Republicans a message on election day...congratulations! Your all important "lesson" will now backfire in your face. You just cut off your nose to spite your face. Not only have you helped to give both Houses over to the left, put Nancy Pelosi in as the Speaker of the House, and completely destroyed any chance of getting a Constitutionalist majority in the Supreme Court, but groups like the ACLU seem to think this election was a mandate for their insanities. Look, you can't say we didn't warn you.
Yesterday voters nationwide rejected candidates who failed to uphold civil liberties and rejected ballot initiatives that undermine fundamental freedoms of all Americans."American voters have reinvigorated our system of checks and balances essential to stopping the abuse of power," said Anthony D. Romero, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director. "Voters finally had enough of the 109th Congress that repeatedly rubber-stamped legislation that violates our basic rights. Voters also rejected many state ballot initiatives designed to restrict civil liberties and meddle in our personal lives. The 110th Congress should take note - voters rejected political scare tactics and government power grabs in favor of civil liberties and policies that keep us safe and free."
Ah, the old "Safe and Free" banner! Since when did the ACLU care about us being "safe"? So now the ACLU is promoting itself as a champion of both safety for our citizens and of freedom. What a joke!

Al-Qaeda is also cheering. America has decided to cut and run from them.
The loss of control is a blow to the protection of religious iconary bill that the House had passed. It only means that the fight will go on.
Prediction - give the liberals 6 months and they'll start gun control legislation.
The Roberts court will very soon be making a sharp left turn.
BUMP TO THE FREEPIN' TOP!!!!
The scum of the earth are ALL celebrating the destruction done by the mindless American voter...
It wasn't them. They want Constitutional judges. I think it was the "independents", i.e., the libertarians. They were very angry at Republicans. They always are.
You know it!
The ACLU could be the biggest winner of all.
Yes, but at least they'll let the terrorists remain armed and still communicate with each other so they can attack again.
I'm a Christian but I'm not an ignorant one. The far-right is to the Republicans what the far-left is to the Dems.
And when the terrorists strike here again because the democrat politicians surrendered, they'll all come crawling to the right for protection.
They would.
You got that right!
Join the fight!
Al Qaeda and the ACLU are among the happiest groups over this outcome. Hard to know which is more excited at our "new direction" of appeasement and surrender....
No wonder, they want to give their boyfriends in Gitmo a "get out of jail free" card.
Hmmm, would that be the repeated total denial of eminent domain which was previously endorsed by Supreme Court judges that you (the ACLU) favor and love?
ACLU can't even keep it's story straight. Sad and pathetic and now...certified LOSERS!
Eminent domain was soundly defeated at the voting booth! Activist judges (including SCOTUS) beware!
