Via Washington Post:
A secret U.S. intelligence court has ordered the Bush administration to register its views about a records request by the American Civil Liberties Union, which wants the court to release a series of pivotal orders issued earlier this year about the National Security Agency’s wiretapping program.The move is highly unusual, because the court — which approves warrants for electronic surveillance within the United States by intelligence and counterterrorism agencies — operates in almost total secrecy and has made only one ruling public in its 29-year history.
In a scheduling order issued Thursday and released yesterday by the ACLU, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court instructed the government to respond to the ACLU’s request by Aug. 31. The civil liberties group has until Sept. 14 to file its own response.
The ACLU’s argument is based on the false premise that our enemies in a time of war have a privacy right under the constitution. Always over the top and relentless in their pursuit, the ACLU never take into account the dangers they pose to the very liberties they claim to protect. Their irresponsible and reckless ways towards these things need to be checked. I’m sure the government’s response will be a big negative and the ACLU will respond in kind with their usual whining. Its been a losing battle for them so far on this issue, and I expect and hope that will continue.

These idiots need to buy A CLU.
I wonder if anyone at the ACLU has considered the reality that, should al Qaeda prevail, the first ones they’ll murder are members of the ACLU?
Useful Infidel *ping*...
President Ronald Reagan:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States
where men were free."
Should they prevail ... al Qaeda will find these traitors swinging from lamp posts when they arrived
I choose the one on the right for $400.
Is there an ACLU membership list somewhere that names NAMES? Who in your city/neighborhood is a member of this nefarious organization? That way you can single them out to your friends and neighbors. Take pictures of them, post at local grocery stores, with wanted posters at the Post Office, ads in local newspapers, etc : the terrorist-buddy-SCUM in our midst.
It doesn't matter how many are killed in their instigating mayhem. They can afford security with their large incomes, which they self-righteously rationalize as due privilege to compensate their leadership and sacrifice.
"First against the wall"? Some of them, yes. The rest will be pulling the trigger on them.
Watching the media, the DNC and the ACLU trying to take the pressure off of their Islamofascist “freedom fighters” really makes me sick. Like al Qaeda, they are all losers.
Cleaver comment.
The ACLU is an evil group in so many respects.
Grrrrrrrr.
Ping.
Screw You, ACLU!
