“Has the ACLU gone too far?”...Do pigeons poop?...
I hate when conservatives try to demonize Hugo Black. He was the closest thing to a strict constructionist on con law that has sat on the bench in the 20th century,
he might be an absolutist on teacher led mandatory school prayer, but he also would have ruled against Roe v, Wade (he dissented against Griswold v. Conneticut, the precursor to Roe) or any other activist judicial decision. I have studied the man, and he was basically like “the constitution says what it says”.
How's about that one?
There are plenty of other organizations and people hell bent on harming this country, but at least I’m not paying for them with MY taxes. We need to stop the government from funding the aclu now!
The ACLU's support of a legal precedent used to gain recognition of a student homosexual group has reversed now that the ruling is being used to back the rights of a Christian club on campus, claims a public-interest law firm.

ADF points out that in 2003, shortly after Prince v. Jacoby was decided, the ACLU sent an information letter to school officials in Washington state explaining the case "makes it clear that student clubs promoting tolerance for gay students are entitled to the same resources as other clubs."
But now, the ACLU has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Truth case that takes the opposite position.

I wish the ACLJ would simply find a good test case and take the ACLU into the USSC to challenge the myth of Separation of Church and State. It’s time.
