Good for them.

The ACLU asked the Justice Department for the number of times it has asked libraries or bookstores for lists of purchases or for the identities of those who have bought certain books; how many times law enforcement officials have entered people's homes without letting them know until later; how many times they have approved phone traces of people not accused of any crimes; and how many times they have investigated Americans for writing letters to newspapers, attending rallies or other First Amendment-protected activities.

This will be interesting, along with the ratio of redactions to information released.

I have to side with the ACLU on this one.

[swarthyguy]

Is that why my collection of jihad videos was all messed up the other day?

[marshmallow]

I guess this may give the ACLU a little good PR while they take a short sabbatical from their all out war on freedom of religious expression..

Bob Barr is on Gibson's show denouncing the Patriot Act as an invasion of privacy. He ripping the FBI leadership a new one calling them inconsistent and incompetant.

[AAABEST]

While not the best messenger, the ACLU seems to have gotten one right. They do that every genereation of so.

No sane person can like this piece of un-American garbage.

Well the freedom hating sociopathic cowards like it, but they're not sane.

*generation or so.

Glad to see that Barr is aiming at the correct target. For all the thunder the last two weeks about HSA, it really was pretty tame, and even had some positives. We really need to revist the Patriot Act by the end of the year and identify the more obnoxious provisons, and work to get them either modified or repealed.

Attending rallies? I'm a goner....

As much as it pains me to say anything good about the American Criminal Liberties Union, it seems like they're good for something after all.

Anyone who will fight the abominable USA Patriot Act or the not to be sufficiently damned Homeland Security Act, can't be all bad.

The Republicans voted in mass, for the two most vicious attacks on the Constitution in history and now, we must depend on the ACLU to defend us.  What's wrong with this picture?  It's enough to make a conservative sick.

Hey, the Denver PD has me on videotape at TRT rallies. I noticed they had to switch to a wide-angle lens when they got to me...

You must be talking about our elected "representatives".

Then why did he vote for it?

[DoughtyOne]

If he did vote for it, and is now saying what's being reported, your comment is valid.

ACLU Sues Over PATRIOT Act

I'm just so CONFLICTED!!!

Can I root for both to get gutted by the court? ;^)

[MattMa]

He stated that “on mass” there were many things that he agreed with, that is why he voted for it.

[RAT Patrol]

ROTFL!
