So where is our suspiciously quiet American Criminals Lobbyist Union when there is actually something they should speak out against?
Actually, I think that they are presently quite busy trying to hold the rampants against things being enabled by the general complacency and flaccidness of the statist "law and order" cheerleading crowd - stuff like the recent
Warrant-less GPS Tracking case heard and found to be unconstitutional by The Supremes (U.S. v. Jones, filed an amicus in the case), fought against the
NSA Warrant-less Surveillance Program by suing the Feds and the Telco's,
SOPA and
PIPA, the
Patriot Act (
oxymoron if ever there was one - probably should have been called The Subservient Citizen Bootlicker Act), the
NDAA and indefinite detention and extra-judicial assassination of American citizens without due process of law .....
We can only hope there will be enough outrage and resistance to reverse it. I doubt we can depend on those anti-Constitution liberal leftist scum for anything.
Well, it's always reassuring to know that the citizenry have their priorities in the correct place: ......
concern over what conditions a commercial business entity might impose for voluntary use of their (free) services ...... versus the ever-growing power of a de facto police state .....
That's not say there should be no concern whatsoever with this sort of thing .....
particularly where there exists a potential nexus with the state .....
If you don't like it, don't patronize them - vote with your fingers and mouse ....
BTW, you are aware are you not, that:
In 1990 the ACLU also defended Lieutenant Colonel
Oliver North, whose conviction was tainted by coerced testimony — a violation of his fifth amendment rights ?
That during the 2004 trial regarding allegations of
Rush Limbaugh's drug abuse, the ACLU argued that his privacy should not have been compromised by allowing law enforcement examination of his medical records ?
And that in 2006, the ACLU of Washington State joined with the
Second Amendment Foundation, and filed a lawsuit against the North Central Regional Library District in Washington State for its policy of refusing to disable restrictions on an adult patron's request for access pro-gun web sites ?
However it certainly is a mixed bag ....
