This jerk is responsible for 1/4 of the BS that comes out of the ACLU every year? I hope he stays ruined.

Well if he announced he’s not donating this year, I guess we know who “Mr. Anonymous” is.

I’ve been on their mailing list for donations because I’m an attorney; they must assume that all attorneys support their marxist agenda. I can expect the deluge of solicitations any time now.

David Gelbaum, ... that had made him the New York-based group's largest anonymous donor

There seems to be some sort of contradiction here.

The ACLU is too big to fail. Tarp #2 will help ease their pain.

Beautiful.

Which may explain their recent decisions to take on issues that are decidedly true to the constitution.

One, they defended against the request for private emails with regard to Prop 8 in CA

Can’t remember the most recent time, but I mentioned to a friend that it was a departure from their usual anti-American leanings.

They need money. Too bad, so sad. Let them go broke.
