Oh, I like that thinking!

The ACLU should not be on the government dole.

They are not American,Civil, or for Liberty, but definately are a Union.

A Union of anti-american socialists.

"That's my job as a Christian" Roberts said.

Horse hockey. There are not any ACLU lawyers who have religion. What a crock!

[Tzimisce]

Hm...

[IronJack]

Politicians like to talk about the "chilling effect" certain legislation or regulation would have on various social activities. There can be little question that the current legal protocol that awards costs to the ACLU has a "chilling effect" on the public's right to have it religious cases heard. This law would go miles toward addressing that.

Killing religion should not be a profit center.

It will be filibustered.

sponsoring a Senate bill that would block plaintiffs from collecting attorneys fees for lawsuits alleging "establishment of religion."

Long overdue = would be a good start. If the ACLU had to suck up it's legal fees for all these frivolous and malicious lawsuits, meant to further their goal of destroying this country, there would be far less lawsuits.

First, cut them off at the knees - then bury them. They have been the greatest enemy within for decades - and they use OUR money to destroy us///

Maybe if the GOP would focus in stuff like this, tort reform, school choice, real border security, etc., they would have better poll numbers. But hey, what do I know?

[Jameison]

Why the hack is my tax dollars going to pay a bunch of rabid vermin like the ACLU for their evil anti-Christian lawsuits?
It should be stopped AT ONCE!
Congress should at least solvage something for their wasted year of illegal alien boondoggle giving, by passing a law to cut off tax peyer money from the rabid ACLU.

Senator Alexander

I urge you to join Senator Brownback and support The Public Expressions of Religion Act (PERA) (S. 3696).

It is my belief that the ACLU is perverting the existing law to destroy what many of us consider to be America. We don’t like the ACLU and its attack on American institutions.

I would hope the bill will prevent the use of public funds to attack the Boy Scouts of America as well. It is hard enough to make a Scout troop economically viable without the need to constantly fight inane lawsuits designed primarily to harass.

While I will be happy if you support the legislation, I will be even happier if I see you on Fox and Friends giving your vocal support and letting the public know the battle has been joined.

TheACLU should not be funded by the taxpayers, PERIOD!

[Vision]

...and make it retroactive to 1947.

[little jeremiah]

Just saw this, haven't read it yet.

(I'm really too busy to legitimately be on FR anyway these days...)

[Non-Sequitur]

That is why he is sponsoring a Senate bill that would block plaintiffs from collecting attorneys fees for lawsuits alleging "establishment of religion."

Why not take the next logical step and block plaintiff fees from any lawsuit?

[litehaus]

Are we "permitted" to say- AMEN -to that?

[BnBlFlag]

I agree with this Open Border Idiot on this issue.

[Tribune7]

Bump for a great idea.
