Say Anything Blog

I think it is also because of the possible gains of Democrats in the House and Senate. They too may need some of those features that the Patriot Act provides. If that becomes the case, people could and should see that as hypocrisy.

Great analysis on this and many great points.  I added a link to your post to the post we have at Stop The ACLU.

That should say…atStop The ACLU

It’s important to read the entire article before jumping to silly conclusions.  This was not the only lawsuit the ACLU had against the P Act, or even the most contentious one.

Your blog is very well named.

They’ve dropped one lawsuit.  IIRC, there are others proceeding against other sections of the law.

With respect to the good faith of the ACLU, it’d be fairly easy to check: find the complaint and see if the complaint actually turns on the altered provisions of the law.  If you were interested in finding out the truth rather than bloviating, that’d be what you would have done.

jpe, why don’t you do that. I know why Aging Communist Liberal Union dropped this particular action. They were losing.

“It’d just be nice if we could get them to admit that a) they were wrong all along about this and b) they’ve wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax payer money in forcing the government to defend laws that protect this country from terror threats and are perfectly constitutional.”

Well, it would be nice if we could get you to admit you sent thousands of young people and hundreds of thousands of iraqis to their death just so you could get over your problem with premature ejaculation.

Never popped a round early, what is that like?

ie, ‘who needs facts when I’ve got women’s intuition.’

Is this the same one that Judge Taylor-Diggs ruled on? 

Maybe they realize that if they start losing their claims the law they create won’t be to their liking anymore.  Another good reason to elect conservatives.

JPE is exactly right. Rob, why don’t actually keep up with events of the real world? Of course, you’d have to pull your head out of your ass to do that.

More “gadfly”(reflex arguer) than “socratic”, I see.  I had no idea Socrates favored personal attack over substance.  More leftie BS.

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

Socratic…note that jpe hasn’t even bothered to do what he suggested I do.

You’d think if he was so interested in making me look dumb he’d do it.  Telling that he won’t, or probably can’t.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

if it was political, why did they only drop one out of the many lawsuits they have pending about the PATRIOT Act?

That’s right, Dan.  Spin.  Spin as hard and fast as you can.

The ACLU wouldn’t have dropped this lawsuit if it weren’t a lost cause.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

I only see one lawsuit being contined in that article, not several.  The bloggers point is still valid.  The ACLU huffed and puffed an awful lot to just quit after a few minor changes in the law.  I think one of my civil liberties that needs defending is useless lawsuits against the governement that are brought by political groups that aren’t concerned with truth or justice but just their own petty gain.
