ACLU sues Jeppesen for Flights

My problem with the ACLU is they promote themselves as defenders of
the Bill of Rights. Yet they are very selective of what rights they
defend.

Actually, the ACLU has an extremely consistent record of
unconditionally defending civil liberties, without respect to race,
creed, color ... or popularity.

From the ACLU web site:

"Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which
consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three
post-Civil War amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th) and the 19th Amendment
(women's suffrage), adopted in 1920."


Yet never once have they defended the 2nd amendment.

Of course not, they are the American Complete Liberals Union after
all...

Laws passed that have attacked the right it was written to protect, you
idiot.

Feel free do do you own research. It shouldn't be hard.

That's interesting.

On the other hand, they had a part in Brown v. Board of Education and bans
on interracial marriage. I don't know about you, but most of the people I
know including myself own all the guns they want; one friend owns a licensed
BAR, another owns a Sten and an MP-40. Another guy, who owns Fairly Honest
Don's Machine Gun Parlor, has an M-60 mounted on the back of an old surplus
jeep.

I prefer not to talk about my gun collection, but let's just say I haven't
needed the ACLU and I've thrown a whole hell of a lot of 7.62x39 downrange
on many occasions including those where law enforcement was also present.

Well, you and I are lucky that we live in states and cities that haven't
passed laws that outlaw such guns. The same can not be said for all of our
fellow US citizens.

Ahh... you might have a point there. If I have idle time this afternoon
I'm going to try to see if the ACLU ever defended a 2nd Amendment issue
although I'm not sure that it's a battle they could win if they tried.

Although I take the anti-ACLU stuff with a grain of salt (anytime the words
"liberal", "communist" or "neocon" are used, I'm immediately suspicious),
I'm certainly not ready to extend the ACLU the benefit of the doubt.
