|  ACLU against any compromise
Of course, the ACLU is against any compromise that won't keep the legal profession in court sucking more billions in to the hands of the greedy lawyers that would make out the most in any of these lawsuits. A compromise may stop the gravy train from delivering the goods.

Some things are just wrong and some things are just right - under universal laws that apply to all natural things, not just Americans. Such things are not open to interpretation or negotiation...they just are.
I'd say that secretly spying on free men is an assault on free men everywhere, not just in America.
If we're going to go to war in Iraq because their dictator was oppressing his people and free speech, we sure the hell should try a little bit harder to not be such hypocrites and apply the same policy in our own back yard.

Wait, I thought "greed is good"?
I won't disagree there may be some, small, subtle financial motivation to keep this in the courts, but I'm not quite yet so jaded to believe that's the ACLU's primary motivation. They have my complete support in pursuing this action in the name of our republic, just as the telcos have your complete support in evading this action in the name of profit.

All you guys are doing is advocating the removal of the constitutional right that we were all granted to petition the courts for redress of grievances.
A fundamental and original right, I might add.
So much for "strict constructionism". Risable, if it wasn't all so sad. |
