A public interest organization that uncovers and prosecutes corruption in government said it has confirmed from Department of Justice documents that the federal agency under Barack Obama's command worked hand-in-hand with the American Civil Liberties Union to attack Arizona over its tough new immigration law...Judicial Watch has posted online a file of nearly 100 pages of documents it obtained from the government, revealing that the DOJ "worked hand-in-hand with the American Civil Liberties Union."

Sounds about right for the Obama Justice Department. Protecting criminals from prosecution by the state.
Undermined by our own DOJ ping!
Can you imagine the reaction in the Media and Congress if the Department of Justice had coordinated with, say, the National Rifle Association, in crafting their response message and legislative plan after the Columbine massacre?
Ping!
So that is the “State of the Union?” The Department of Justice conspiring with an anti-American organization like the ACLU against the laws and welfare of the Several States?
LOL!

Basically the "Justice" department is now an arm of the CPUSA, since the ACLU is just a front organization for that.
