Let me understand this one. ACLU is suing IN ADVANCE of anything actually happening??

Sounds like Denver (and any future convention city) is faced with the equivalent of “Have you stopped beating your wife, yet?”.

If they take the prudent step of protecting its citizens, they will face law suits. If they allow every crazy to express his “freedom of speech”, anarchy rules and the residents have every reason to sue the city for damages.

The 1st Amendment’s free speech clause is NOT absolute, as the courts have repeatedly ruled. It does NOT give you the right to yell “Fire” in a crowd; it does NOT give you the right to make threats, or yell “Hi Jack” in an airport, etc.

Given that it is NOT an absolute right and nothing untoward has YET occured, where is the crime? Or have we reached the point that we can sue for what MIGHT happen?

Sorry, as usual, ACLU is on the wrong side of the tracks.

They want to be able to riot within full view of the TV Cameras, instead being hidden MILES AWAY inside of the Civic Center, with police guarding the exits...

So the ACLU believes there is a right to be heard. That’s a new on on me. BUT...in this case, more power to social retards.

We need to start a legal bulwork that finds a way to sue the ACLU directly (i.e. go on the offensive, initiate fact-finding missions, keep them tied up fighting lawsuits that never end, etc). Sort of a new twist on “Operation Chaos.”

This can’t be! It’s Rush Limbaugh who is going to cause the riots...not those peace-loving lefties.

“The ACLU of Colorado has filed a federal lawsuit against “

Has any court agreed to this? I don’t think you can file if your aggrieved party exists in the future, aggrieved by an event that has not happened yet.

Then again, ACLU has helped define so much in our court processes, this may be old hat.

Denver deserves riots, anarchy, vandalism, and serious injury. Welcome to the national exposure of hooligan America.
