[montag813]

Now, if you're suggesting that montag813 is a straw man easily blown over, I might agree with you. But that's evidence for my original claim: there's a great deal of hostility towards the ACLU on FR, but very little of it is well-informed.

I am still waiting for your response to my post #69 on the 1975 O'Connor v Donaldson case, which you are proud of, and which is universally reviled (even among former supporters like Geraldo Rivera) as having almost single-handedly CREATED the "Homeless crisis" through forced de-institutionalization of the mentally ill, in addition to the countless murders and assaults resulting from the tens of thousands of unmedicated crazies running around amongst us.

How did this ruling "strengthen the Constitution", as you so proudly proclaim? Will you ignore these facts and just hurl insults at me? Do I have to go through the entire list and refute them one by one? So I have to list the cases in which the ACLU subverted the Constitution via the Plaintiff's bar...bankrupting defendant schools and organization into submission and settlement?

Lets not forget about the ACLU's jihad against the "evil" boyscouts and Augusta National. Freedom of association means little to these scoundrels.
