It's truly unfortunate, but the Virginia ACLU is composed mostly of the sort of lawyers that are leading the whole legal system, both judges and lawyers, into deep jeopardy.
Notice the public's concern regarding the killings in Atlanta ~ the only sympathy being expressed was for the Court Reporter, and the lady who was a hostage.
The judiciary is in trouble when no one particularly cares if a judge gets shot at the bench, and God help the lawyers when that becomes common.
BTW, my Great Grandfather was a lawyer who died from what used to be an occupational hazard ~ histoplasmosis. You got that from the pigeons that used to flock on the roof where he practiced. No one else but one of his 10 sons wanted to be a lawyer after that.
My oldest step-grandson is graduating from law school in May - in Oregon. He is a conservative, Christian young man who makes friends easily and is as honest and good as they come. I know anything he does in years to come will be honorable.
