Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
"WHEREAS, the United States Congress, roughly thirty years ago, passed a provision in United States Code section 1988 that requires taxpayers to pay attorneys in civil rights cases"
Civil rights cases....
You wouldn't be suggesting that the taxpayers shouldn't support Civil Rights, are you?
Besides, where does it say specifically that the ACLU is being funded?
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
I for one do believe this provision needs rethinking. It has degenerated into municpailities being bankrupted if they fight ACLU anti-religion cases and lose, which they often do thanks to an out of control judiciary. If there are real constitutional rights violations, there are plenty of activist groups with the funds to fight it. Most of these cases involve trivial claims of highly technical infringements and do not justify the enormous attorneys fees that get awarded. Local taxpayers have to fund these awards, and it isn't fair.

Quote from Burtakus:
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz, what would be tour response to a person establishing a White Entertainment Telivision channel labeled as such?
Or how about a NAAWP, National Association for the Advancement of White People?
Quote from spect8or:
Yes, by liberal standards I most certainly am.
Is one necessarily any of those things if he wishes to preserve the white race? Logically, clearly not.
But then logic has never been your strong point...
