Ha! Wake up to a Friday earthquake AND an ACLU smackdown.

Memorable way to start a weekend!

This goes to show how sick the freaks in the ACLU are, to get all up in arms over this. Not to mention waste of time and resources.

I’m sure these little brats are quite proud of themselves.

"We're obviously disappointed," Falk said. "It's our position still that the differential treatment afforded between the environmental plate and the `In God We Trust' plate

Not what he intended I'm sure, but he basically admits that environmentalism, in it's current form, is akin to a religious belief.

I’m sure the ACLU would have no problem with a reference to “Ramadan” or the “Koran” on a plate.

"Courts are not to second-guess the Indiana General Assembly when it comes to calculations of this sort," Miller wrote, contrasting the In God We Trust plates with other specialty plates that require the payment of administrative fees.

Judicial restraint and proper understanding of the division of powers? Wow, that's even more important than the actual substance of the ruling itself!

Check out the Indiana State Constitution:

PREAMBLE

TO THE END, that justice be established, public order maintained,
and liberty perpetuated; WE, the People of the State of Indiana,
grateful to

ALMIGHTY GOD

for the free exercise of the right to choose our own form of government,
do ordain this Constitution.

The problem is that when all this is over, even if the ACLU loses, they will have cost the taxpayers a lot of cash, that hey have no obligation to refund.

What is really ironic about the ACLU suing in these cases is that they get paid by the US taxpayers whether they win or lose. So it is no skin off their nose if they happen to lose. They just keep fighting, getting paid by us as they do. And it keeps them in business.

Maybe the ACLU could get swallowed up. That’d make it the best earthquake in history.
