thge executive director of the aclu in rhode island is steven brown,a venemous little rodent who has what looks like pubic hair on his misshapen little head-this scumbag lives in barrington,a wealthy suburb where the only minorities he ever sees are those who come there to clean houses and babysit-he is a prime example of a limousine liberal-he likes people to think he's an attorney-he doesn't say he is,but for many years he let people make that assumption-i challenged him on this on a radio talk show and he admitted all he has is a bachelor's in public administration-the trooper was backed up by the governor,don carcieri and the state police cleared him of any wrongdoing-the governor said he shoul've gotten a commendation

They are the problem we are seeing now and they want to bitch about the situation for finding out who is in this country illegaly?
amen to that brother!!
That is 100% incorrect. There is no law anywhere that allows plaintiffs, ACLU or otherwise, to collect attorney's fees regardless of who wins the lawsuit. They can only collect if they win.
