Duly noted: these people love to sue.

If the ACLU loses the suit they should have to immediately pay all costs related to the suit. Every penny the taxpayers have to spend should be reimbursed.

"rom keeping anti-Bush protesters far away from presidential appearances"

Key point, these people are protesting the president, not a policy or several policies but the president himself.

This alone means that any one of them could wish or plan to do him harm. The ACLU will lose this one.

"Protecting our nation's leaders from dissent is unconstitutional."

Does the constitution speak of how close people need to come in order for their speech to be free? Or does the constitution really indicate that you can say what you want -- but silent on forcing folks to listen?

If the constitution says people have to listen to what you want to say, then I'd like time on NBC, CBS and ABC to tell people want a left-wing organization the ACLU has become.

It's the job of the USSS to protect the President. I could be wrong, but wouldn't there be a greater threat posed by anti- Bush protesters than by supporters of the President?

I don't like the ACLU nor their tactics, but i feel everybody should have similar access. Freedom of speech is the No. 1 ammendment to the constitution, right?

If i were protesting Xlinton, i would want to be as close as any Xlinton supporter, albeit with an odor removing breathing apparatus and full foul weather gear to keep his spewing DNA off of me.

This was wrong when Clinton did it.

It just as wrong when Bush does it.

It used to surprise me when I see FReepers defending the same behavior as the Clintons, but hypocrisy has been the norm here for some time.

Behold hypocrites, the only 'free speech zone':

It is high time to investigate, prosecute and convict dozens (if not hundreds) of ACLU lawyers for obvious national security reasons. They are totally out of control.

I know all about how they think and what they do. When I was in law school I worked for a professor who championed ACLU causes on a very high profile school district book burning case. For the first year after I graduated from law school I worked as a volunteer attorney for the ACLU. I grew sickened by what I saw and heard behind closed doors in ACLU meetings. Now I despise them more than any other subversive communist organization.

Today the organization has evolved into a Democratic Party tool defined by the Clintons and supported by their BIG MONEY contributors.

Was the ACLU ever worth anything?

Maybe, in the distant reaches of time, they had a noble goal.

Now they are just irritating little mosquitoes taking up worthless irrelavant causes, and taking up the time and energy of people trying to do something.

that's funny...
The ACLU sues to get commies closer to the prez
and the ACLU sues to keep pro lifers further away from their abortatoriums
They sue to take the real God out of the public square
while they sue to bring false gods into the schoolroom
They use the freedom given them by the founding fathers
only to turn it against those very same founders and their descendents
to the utter destruction of our nation....
And...we allow this....

"We're gonna sue so we can let folks get close enough to take a shot at him when he gets out of his limo..."

I don't think so!

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReemail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

I guess their constitutionally protected right to be on TV is being taken away from them.

I'm pretty sure the Secret Service policy on this point has been the same for a long time. Interesting how the ACLU never thought to sue over this while Clinton was president.

Ya know....I can't help but wonder now...what would be involved in getting the ACLU labeled a hate group?

Who the h_ll gives the ACL so much money? And, why can't the hundreds of conservative, reasonable, civile rights law firms all combine to become a reasonable force?
