ACLU Sue Nye County Nevada for Counting Ballots by Hand and Not Using Questionable Voting Machines

| October 25, 2022 | Jim Hoft
Years ago the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was a civil rights organization that valued free speech, free thought, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and a free society. Today,
the ACLU ignores individual rights and is just another branch of the Socialist left pushing total government control of your life. The ACLU for some reason is suing Nye County Nevada for counting their ballots by hand and not by machine. It’s much harder for Democrats to cheat when they can’t rely on the voting machines. See the 2020 election to find out more. [Linking quote to Las Vegas 5]...

The general counsel for the National Archives and Records Administration, who was central to coordinating between NARA and former President Donald Trump's attorneys regarding the documents at Mar-a-Lago, previously sued then-President Ronald Reagan in 1989 while working at the American Civil Liberties Union. Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI's Washington Field Office
on Aug. 8, after Trump's team had voluntarily given documents to NARA and was working through issues of executive privilege. Trump defense attorney Evan Corcoran wrote NARA General Counsel Gary Stern on April 29 that the former president wanted to personally review the documents that NARA had received...

ACLU Fought Chemical Castration of Sex Offenders, Supports Use of Same Drugs on Trans Kids

| 2/25/22 | Spencer Lindquist
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which previously opposed the administration of a drug to chemically castrate sex offenders, is now advocating for children to be able to take the chemically castrating drugs as puberty blockers. Just
one year ago, the ACLU was previously a vocal opponent of a law in Alabama that mandated chemical castration on certain convicted sex offenders. Former Executive Director of the ACLU of Alabama Randall Marshall called the practice of chemical castration “medical experimentation,” also claiming that it “has no basis in the medical community.” Dillon Nettles, a policy analyst with the ACLU of Alabama,...

A group representing 600 Texas families and backed by the American Civil Liberties Union sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday to stop state officials from treating transgender healthcare for minors as a form of child abuse. In
February, the Texas governor ordered the Department of Family and Protective Services to open child abuse investigations of families that provide minors with transgender care such as estrogen or testosterone treatments or hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty. The measure was part of a wave of initiatives by Republican governors and legislators affecting transgender rights across the country, with some...

Indiana becomes 17th state to bar biological males from girls’ sports; ACLU sues

The Indiana legislature has overridden Gov. Eric Holcomb’s veto of a bill banning biological males from participating in sports reserved for female student-athletes, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union to file a lawsuit seeking to block the legislation from taking effect. On
Tuesday, the Republican-controlled Indiana legislature overrode Holcomb’s veto of House Enrolled Act 1041. The bill proclaims that biologically male students who identify as females “may not participate on an athletic team or sport designated under this section as being a female, women’s, or girls’ athletic team or sport.”The Indiana House of Representatives overrode the veto in a 67-28...

A group that has singled out journalists and Democrats in undercover operations contends that prosecutors misled a federal court and sought unwarranted gag orders during a federal investigation of the group’s ties to the alleged theft of a diary belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley. In November, the FBI conducted predawn
raids at the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe and the homes of two other individuals who worked with the group. The agents acted with warrants that allowed them to seize phones and computers to search for evidence of trafficking in interstate property. The raids generated controversy...

ACLU slams Lightfoot's curfews for Chicago minors, say it will increase police encounters

The American Civil Liberties Union of Chicago took aim at Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's announced new restrictions for minors in the city as the mayor unveiled another new curfew for young people. "Curfews
and bans create group culpability for young people - whether they are there to enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown or something else," the ACLU said in a statement to ANC 7 Monday. "The vague description - relying on an undefined 'responsible adult' - allowing young people to be present in the park and the promise of strict enforcement will result in unnecessary stops and arrests...

ACLU Files Motion Denying Existence of Women-The War on Women is real.
|

Frontpagemagazine ^
| May 17, 2022 | Daniel Greenfield
The ACLU claims that there’s a War on Women… and it’s fighting it. "We're
Not Stupid: Outrageous Quotes from the War on Women," the ACLU had headlined a post about its pro-abortion activism in 2013. A decade later the ACLU is arguing in court that women don't exist. Not only does the ACLU’s current abortion coverage eliminate any mention of women, but in response to a civil rights lawsuit by women, it actually filed a motion arguing they don’t exist. Last year, the Women’s Liberation Front, one of the few remaining feminist groups that have rejected transgender intersectionality’s displacement of...

ACLU admits in testimony that it wrote Amber Heard’s op-ed against Johnny Depp; timed release with ‘Aquaman’

| 4/29/22 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) revealed in testimony during the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard $100 million defamation trial that it had ghost-written the Washington Post op-ed allegedly accusing Depp of domestic abuse, reportedly timing it for the release of “Aquaman” in which she played a role. The
ACLU also stated that Heard had only donated $1.3 million to their coffers after promising in 2016 to fork over $3.5 million from her divorce settlement with Depp, stating that the actress was having financial difficulties. The organization also contends that Heard’s ex, South African billionaire Elon Musk donated $500,000 of...

Two inmates at all-women's New Jersey jail are PREGNANT after both had sex with transgender prisoners: ACLU won battle to house 27 trans inmates there

Two women at New Jersey's only all-women's prison have both fallen pregnant after having sex with transgender inmates. The
pregnant women, who were not identified, are housed at the embattled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, in Clinton, which New Jersey Governor announced plans to close last year. Prison bosses said that in both instances, the sex was consensual. It is unclear if the women had sex with the same transgender inmate, or if it was two different inmates. Edna Mahan houses 27 transgender prisoners, and over 800 women altogether. It is also unclear how far along the two inmates are, and...

In Push for Mask Mandates, ACLU Betrays the Civil Liberties of Vulnerable Children

| 11 March A.D. 2022 | Kaylee McGhee White
The American Civil Liberties Union was once considered a bulwark against government intrusion and overreach. Its
mission was simple: to defend the constitutional rights of individuals, regardless of those individuals’ political affiliations. But that law firm is long gone. The ACLU of today cares little about bureaucratic overreach so long as the officials doing the overreaching are on its political team, and it gladly sacrifices the civil liberties of individuals if doing so advances its left-leaning agenda. Just a few weeks ago, the ACLU of Virginia filed a lawsuit against Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin over his executive order mandating that...

Progressives Against Transparency. The ACLU joins Democratic politicians in opposition to making school curricula available to parents.

City Journal ^
| 26 Jan, 2022 | Zaid Jilani
In at least a dozen states, Republican lawmakers have introduced bills seeking to make instruction in public schools more transparent. Pennsylvania’s
bill, for example, would require public schools to post their curricula online. Democrats have largely opposed these bills, viewing them as the latest conservative salvo against critical race theory–inspired pedagogy. In vetoing the Pennsylvania legislation, Democratic governor Tom Wolf warned that the “legislation is a thinly veiled attempt to restrict truthful instruction and censor content reflecting various cultures, identities, and experiences.” Taken literally, Wolf’s statement is false. Requiring schools to be transparent about what they’re teaching does not inherently...

Biden Administration Halts Settlement Talks On Family Separation, ACLU Says, After Blowback Over Considering $450,000 Payments

| Dec 16, 2021 | Joe Walsh
The Department of Justice is no longer negotiating to settle lawsuits from migrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border under a Trump Administration policy, the American Civil Liberties Union said Thursday, after the Biden Administration drew criticism for reportedly weighing $450,000 payments. The
DOJ has cut off settlement talks with parents and children who say they faced severe trauma after immigration officials separated them at the southern border, and now plans to litigate any family separation suits, ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt told Forbes (the ACLU represents plaintiffs in one family separation lawsuit). The DOJ did not immediately respond to a...

ACLU steps in after LGBTQ books pulled from Missouri schools

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday sent a letter demanding a Kansas City, Missouri school district return two LGBTQ-themed books to library shelves. The
North Kansas City School District pulled “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and “Fun House” from high schools this month in response to parent complaints. The district is reviewing the titles, and the books are expected to be discussed during a Monday school board meeting. In a letter to school officials, the ACLU of Missouri said removing the books violates students’ First Amendment rights by restricting their access to ideas. “Students must...

The ACLU Thinks Kyle Rittenhouse's Civil Liberties Got Too Much Protection

Reason ^
| 11.19.2021 | Robby Soave
The American Civil Liberties Union should not cavalierly take the side of prosecutors against the concept of self-defense. Kyle
Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot and killed two men during the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer, was acquitted on Friday. Prosecutors had charged him with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, but the jury was persuaded by Rittenhouse's argument that he acted in self-defense. For anyone who had followed the trial closely, this outcome is unsurprising. The prosecution simply did not meet its burden of proof, and Rittenhouse's...

NEW YORK — The following is a statement from Brian Hauss, senior staff attorney with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, in response to reports of an FBI raid on Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe: “Project Veritas has engaged in disgraceful deceptions, and reasonable observers might not consider their activities to
be journalism at all. Nevertheless, the precedent set in this case could have serious consequences for press freedom. Unless the government had good reason to believe that Project Veritas employees were directly involved in the criminal theft of the diary, it should not have subjected them to invasive...

The collusive lawsuit between the ACLU and the Biden administration for immigration reparations is an illegal and unethical sham

The ACLU sued the United States for money on behalf of illegal immigrants for being separated from their children when they were caught and detained at the border. The
Wall Street Journal reported a few weeks ago that the Department of Justice was considering settling the case for about $450,000 per individual – a settlement amounting to over a million dollars in the case of a family of three and over two million for a family of five. The basis for the ACLU’s lawsuit on behalf of the immigrants is not clear. Most legal experts agree that whatever the morality...
