Final nail? Wishful thinking. May as well wish for that "final nail" for the splc while we're at it. There is too much money to be gathered for them get shut down. They are, after all, liars, uh I mean lawyers. But then, isn't that the same thing?

[Rurudyne]

They were always up to their ears in useful idiots.

Now that there’s nothing that remains of the old extreme Left that’s extreme to the DNC anymore why shouldn’t the ACLU act this way?

[Leaning Right]

> Final nail? Wishful thinking. <

That was my first thought as well. The phrase “final nail” implies that an organization is finished, done for. The ACLU’s latest move will help it. Donations from empty-headed liberals will probably increase.

Final nail? Back when they started defending NAMBLA was the final nail for me...

[NohSpinZone]

I’m no fan of the ACLU but even I could see that they were principled to their mission by supporting the civil rights of commies and Klansmen equally. Now these phonies have made it clear that their mission is to be just another wing of the DNC.

Fallen? They started as lawyers for jailed radical revolutionary communists. How do you fall from that?

[I want the USA back]

The aclu is a communist organization, dedicated to the subversion of our way of life.

[MichaelCorleone]

I agree - wishful thinking.

Thanks anyway Mr. Dershowitz.

[sauropod]

Sorry. Dershbag wrote a book excusing His Slickness called ‘Sexual McCarthyism’.

His opinion on anything should be ignored or derided.

[Dr. Sivana]

They lost a third of their membership by backing the neo-Nazis (the real thing) marching in Skokie. They aren’t so principled when it comes to infringements on Christians’ free speech. They’ll carry on. Cognitive dissonance never slows these folks down.

[Hostage]

Even the Dersh realizes how toxic the Left has become. A classical liberal Harvard law professor cannot defend the positions of today’s leftist cult. It would be like Larry Klayman defending the KKK; impossible.

I find it hard sometimes to say the way that I feel
I do the very things I hate to do
I act like a child and I’m afraid of what is real
And so I try to cover up the truth
I stumble like a drunk along this crazy path I walk
I have a hundred thousand questions too
I’ll go to any length to prove that nothing is my fault
Then later on I will deny the proof

I don’t like to win but then again I hate to lose
And in between is something I can’t stand
I don’t care what you think and I hope that you approve
I am just an ordinary man

Sometimes I want to stop and crawl back into the womb
And sometimes I cannot tell wrong from right
But I ain’t gonna quit until I’m laid in my tomb
And even then they better shut it tight

Glasser points out that some of the greatest violations of civil liberties throughout history have come from "progressive politicians, such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt who interned 110,000 Japanese-American citizens."

This should be taught in school.

They never were.

[_longranger81]

“It’s been decades since the ACLU was a truly non-partisan organization dedicated to the maintenance of our constitutional rights.”

It never was. Ever. Its founders were the inner circle of the American Communist Party, and one of its pillar strategies was to periodically defend a non-leftwing group in a highly visible way to immunize themselves from the truth of who they were. Read the history of the organization’s founders.

[subterfuge]

I hate articles about articles.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

It is about time somebody called the ACLU what it is!

[VeniVidiVici]

How can we stop the ACLU from getting federal dollars?
