[history]
The failed effort by Kentucky lawmakers to re-erect a Ten Commandments monument on the Capitol grounds in Frankfort cost the state more than $100,000.
The state last week sent a check for $121,524 to the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky for its costs of a successful challenge to a 2000 resolution directing that the monument, which had been put in storage in 1988 for a construction project, be placed near the floral clock.

Maybe now they can afford to defend Michael Savage?

I don't recall electing the ACLU to be arbiter of my country's environment. The ACLU is predominantly a radical left wing group trying to alter the very essence of this country. Loathesome and not at all interested in law, justice, or the constitution...ie a superb tool of the rats, socialists, communists and America haters. Like you, I won't hold my breath for them to take up any conservative cause. Again, I think the station can fire Savage, but the issue is so much larger than that.

My view toward the ACLU?
Same as Savage's! Round 'em up and send them to GITMO!
To: rockfish59
LOL They'd just cause trouble there, too ;)

Wonder how much the ACLU makes nationwide. The organization is almost a fourth branch of government.

LOL...with which they work hand in glove.
The ACLU is having a good week:
State pays ACLU $121500 in Ten Commandments fight
Cincinnati Enquirer, OH - 13 hours ago
FRANKFORT - The state has paid $121,500 to the American Civil
Liberties Union after
the ACLU won a court challenge to a Ten Commandments monument
outside the ...
$12,150 per commandment! Not bad! I'm in the wrong business.

I'd suggest adding commandments, setting them up anonymously, then have the ACLU PAY YOU for taking them down. ;)

Great idea! How about writing a screenplay on Jesus Christ and see if anyone in Hollywood will pay us to destroy the script?

That must be a disappointment for the ACLU. The Parks Service caved without a court fight. No legal fees to collect.
Or maybe there is. Be interesting to find out.

This is unbelievable that the ACLU will not pay their own legal bills.

Something we all should consider is the founding fathers did not escape tyranny to perpetutae another ... we were founded upon God AND religious liberty and defending it is our obligation --- liberals have made God and right and wrong a thought crime and themselves ACLU whacks - our overlords - us slaves !
Watch those senate confirmation hearings and if you publicly state your beliefs and sincerity you are vetted - crucified ... there is supposed to be no religious - ideological special interest test or PLEDGE for office and now the supreme court has established them ... abortion - pornography - evolution - gun control - racial - sexual preferences especially !

Been doing google news searches on "Charles Schumer." He is speaking to homosexual and abortion groups all over telling them he will never allow "extremists" (read: avowed Christians) on the Federal bench.
