With Sessions at Helm,, ACLU Has to Step UP

Unfortunatelty not the 2A, which the ACLU seems to have (unilaterally?) decided is not constitutional enough. If the ACLU agrees that parts of the constitution have been incorrectly interpreted by the SCOTUS then it should not shock them in the least that others have similar feelings about other rights and act on them accordingly.

All correct. From what I gather, some here are not defenders of the 2A, but then I only see them here to throw rotten eggs and rarely cook any omelettes.

The ACLU only defends what politically agrees with them.
They have been that way for years.

They are hardly the defenders of the Constitution.

They sure have some people fooled.
 
Maybe 20 years ago blacks committed 70% of crimes but with the influx of illegal aliens I don't think
blacks. have a monopoly on the crime stats anymore. Probably 50% is more like it.

I'm open to correction, but the incarceration rate of blacks (African Americans) is more than three times higher than the national average.
 
Well, we know Jeff "I hate Negros" Sessions won't be sending the DOJ into rural Mississippi to find out why White cops are choking Black people.

False narrative, promoted by Lefties and ACLU types.
 
After reading other sources about the MI sheriff harassment case the suit seems to have considerable merit. The OP link is a rather poorly written story. But the ACLU is far from fair and balanced as far as which cases they wish to tackle.

Only the ones they think they can win to justify their resources and satisfy their donation pool.
 
When I was here earlier, I sent out a question to family and friends asking just one question:

Can you give me a one sentence description of your view of the ACLU?

I got back a five answers so far, here they are:

1. Was created to defend individual liberties as set forth by the Bill of Rights, but seem to focus on African American Civil Liberties (AACLU).
2. The ACLU is a leftist, legal terrorist, organization.
3. I believe the ACLU is one of George Soros' best friends.
4. Anti-American Communist Liberal Union....How's that?
5. How about one word ................................. COMMUNISTS.

Yes it could have merit and if it does then it needs to be addressed.
However sessions shouldn't step in unless the local authority and the state Ag does nothing.
This has nothing to do with sessions at this point in time.

Of course it is. They pick and choose which constitutional rights they want to uphold and it trends towards liberal.
 
No, I don't like them because they are mostly Lefty wackos, with extreme liberal views, bordering on subversion. The GOP is common sense, mostly good people, the ACLU are a bunch of assholes.
See anti-2A below. I'm a proponent of all the Constitution and Bill of Rights, not just what some Lefty turd, thinks it should be.

Sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming "LIBERAL LEFTY LIBERAL" is no way to debate, son.

Ok, so your family and friends regurgitate wingnut propaganda. Who cares?

George Soros...again?
 
You mean you are worried that an elitist southern racist like Sessions wont be fair minded?......LOL

Not propaganda and nothing wingnut about it. I've reviewed many of their cases and they are not in the best interst of America, only certain hand picked groups.



He's the enemy of America.

Steps to prosecute George Soros for treason have begun!

Way overdue.

LOL.

A petition means that "steps to prosecute George Soros for treason have begun"? I can start a petition that mandates the government ban Mario from ever posting on DP again. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

You guys act like George Soros is Magneto, for chrissakes. Always scared of the big liberal bogeyman. Such pathetic snowflakes.
 
There are many Blacks who vote for Republicans, because they know that something will get done on many levels. Democrats have been enabling Blacks for over 40 years and it's been mostly, lip service.

The ACLU is a subversive organization and has ruined many things in America. Much of our heritage has been compromised because of them. The Confederate Flag being racist symbol, is only one of the false assertions generated by the ACLU.

LOL.

Soros is really Megamind.

You suggest that the majority is always right. Recall that there was a time when the majority believed the earth to be flat and the center of the universe. Ignorance is beautiful in that perverse way.

Lynch mobs and small minds go together. Objection to and fear of the Bill Of Rights go together with small minds and lynch mobs. With views like yours, it is very clear that we have the government we deserve.

Soros is a very, very dangerous person. Your inability to recognize that fact, speaks volumes.

While the Right is busy focusing on George Soros, Robert Mercer has hijacked their minds.

Bob Mercer, is one of the good guys. He is the total opposite of Soros. He hasn't hijacked my mind, or that of anyone I know.

Let's take this by the numbers:
Where have I suggested that the majority is always right? I do say that the right and logical, are "mostly" Conservatives.
If you suggest that my responses are ignorant, I certainly disagree. If you think the responses I have gotten back from my query are ignorant, I disagree again. Everyone of these people is college educated, some served in the military, some retired with a career in the military or law enforcement, one is a doctor and one is a nurse. These people aren't snowflakes like so many liberals and are fed up with the BS out of DC.
I just received another response a few ago: "ILL CONCEIVED, POLITICAL ULTRA LEFT VIEW OF THE POLITICAL CORRECT MIND SET WHICH HAS DESTROYED THE COUNTRY AS I ONCE KNEW IT!

So many people tell me that "this country, is not the country I grew up in." I agree. It's turned into a country of complainers, free loaders, dissidents, subversives and Commies. Guys like George Soros are pouring money in to impose their will on a free society. Michael Bloomberg is doing the same thing with his ill conceived, gun control ideas. They are both buying politicians.

Lynch mobs and small minds, including LGBT, go together and that is exactly what we have been witnessing around the country in protests against Trump. A minority, should not be in charge of how this country is run. We vote by majority rule and the EC decided that last November and got it right.
I don't fear the Bill of Rights, I fully support it. What I don't support is the ACLUs subversive application of it's meaning. They bastardize almost everything they touch and every ACLU attorney, that I have encountered, is a Leftist, radical, nutjob.

Sorry calamity, I have never been a fan of the ACLU. For every one thing I might agree with them on, there are 20 others that make my blood boil.
As for the flag, I was raised and taught in school, to see that flag as a symbol of past historical events in the USA, a part of our heritage and nothing to do with racism. The Civil War had many issues, and the biggest reason for it was State Rights and Economics, including slavery as an economic factor in the mix. Not as the big "moral" issue as promoted in today's world. Taking down statues and flags, from the South, is wrong because they are just as big a part of our heritage and history as anything else.
Sanitizing our country, like the Germans have tried to do over WWII, IMO, is wrong.
I just read the other day that some college in Oregon was renaming one of their halls because the guy they named it after a 100 years ago, had racist beliefs. To me, that is just over the top, stupid.

There is no "state's right" to own other human beings, sorry. And if your economic system is dependent on owning other human beings/slave labor, that economic system doesn't deserve to live anyway.

So you think de-nazification was wrong? Somehow, I am not suprised :roll:

There is absolutely zero reason to celebrate a cause as evil as the Confederacy.

If you actually think the ACLU is a communist organization......you don't actually know what a communist is.

Where did I say that de-nazification was wrong? The Germans have sanitized the Prisoner of War camps, a little at a time, over the last 50 years. You completely missed my point.

The confederacy was not evil...that's just bull****. Plenty of Northerners had slaves as well. It was common practice back then and i never said slavery was ok, but there was much more going on, than slavery.

If you actually think the ACLU is a communist organization......you don't actually know what a communist is.

Yes, I know what a Commie is and we have plenty in this country, including in the ACLU. There are millions that have the same opinion, I certainly am not alone.

The Germans "sanitized" their country. A huge part of that was denazification and getting rid of all the symbols of the Nazi regime. And yet, people like you claim that that sort of thing was wrong because, supposedly, if you don't allow people to have statues of Hitler and Himmler and Goering, history will repeat itself.

Actually, outside of the border states, and I believe one outlier northerner state which didn't abolish slavery until like ten years before the war, slavery was outlawed in the North. In fact, unlike the south, which wholeheartedly embraced the institution, slavery never really got a foothold in the north.

And considering the fact that 98% of the rest of the world acknowledged that slavery was evil, and had gotten rid of it, by the time the south launched its "they may take our lives, but they'll never take our slaves!!!" death ride.......

Then those millions of people are dumber than I thought. Communists are not known for supporting civil liberties.
 
Well, we know Jeff "I hate Negros" Sessions won't be sending the DOJ into rural Mississippi to find out why White cops are choking Black people.

Perhaps it's just me, but this seems like an overreach.

Are you recommending that Sessions start "sending the DOJ" into states to enforce laws that he feels need to be enforced?

How do you feel about invading Sanctuary Cities? Arresting the Governors of states that have legalized marijuana?

Suspending due process for a special pet project will often produce ripple effects that you might not like.

Do you think your example might be better adjudicated in the courts?
