Billion dollar lawsuit in the offing. Someone needs to go after this bunch and serve up a bit of their own bitter fruit.

Why do I suspect that all 860 people on that e-mail list are now getting bombarded with pornography.

Now, if only there could be developed a national security angle to this, the hypocritical bastards could feel the full force of the Federal Government they so despise. Checking.....

I would bet that if there was an audit of their financial records for the past decade when the Clintoons ruled America, there might be some really embarassing donations from Opecker Islamofacist thugs/Princes.

Good. Now one of the impacted people needs to get the ACLU to represent them so... wait for it...

... the ACLU can go sue itself

We can only hope these folks are furious at the ACLU......but somehow I doubt it. And no doubt they'll be enjoying the unintended consequence of all that porn too.

The ACLU is excreble and arguably the most anti-American organization in the U.S. The bad news for them is that the cat is out of the bag.

Complicating matters further, the ACLU just settled with the New York state attorney general’s office in January for another privacy violation involving contact information for people who bought products through their Web site. As part of the settlement, the ACLU agreed to pay $10,000, upgrade its Internet privacy and security systems and submit to audits

"That’s two big privacy violations in 25 minutes," he said. "They compounded the error."

But don’t forget, their INTENT was noble (/sarc)

"Why do I suspect that all 860 people on that e-mail list are now getting bombarded with pornography."

Come to think about it, if the 860 support the mantra of the ACLU, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving group....

Gotta love it. The chickens have finally come home to roost.

Can true justice be too far behind (lawsuit)?
