"While the reauthorized Patriot Act is far from perfect, we succeeded in stemming the damage from some of the Bush administration's most reckless policies," Ann Beeson, associate legal director of the ACLU in New York, said in a written statement.Translation: "We knew from the get-go that our lame-ass lawsuit had no legs but because we are too stupid to realize that we are really a prize-winning pack of traitors and Demo-tramps, we had to make a show of it anyway. After all, pointless sniping and slander is our stock in trade."

They really should. The Patriot Act was written by Gary Hart and ANdrew Young and thus represents "their" side on the political spectrum.

Wow. They blinked.
Either that, or they're waiting to see how the election comes out.

My take as well...
My guess is that they decided it wasn't going to win them any support, going against pragmatic laws designed to keep U.S. citizens alive.
As much as it must have made them sorrowfull to have to take this route, I don't see they had much choice.
Awwwwwwwww...

This is a purely political move by the ACLU. They don't want to hurt the demonrats chances in the coming election since it shows how weak they are on the terrorism issue. They'll refile the lawsuit shortly after the election.

Boy, there's a red alert! If the ACLU is for the Patriot Act, there must be something subversive or tyrannical about the act that we missed. Time to go back and read the fine print.

Fine, but we should still defund the ACLU. They have no right to taxpayer funds. I think the ACLU s*cks. Their attack against the Patriot Act has been a lot of left-wing funded hot air.
That said, isn't the only taxpayer money that the ACLU gets is from collecting lawyer fees when winning cases against a government?
To: Valin
The lawsuit, filed in July 2003 on behalf of the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor and five other nonprofit groups...That figures. I would like to see the names of the other nonprofit groups.
