1. www.aclu.org

ACLU is doing its job. They also stuck up for Oxy-Rush. I may not like everyone they champion or everything they do, but I'm glad they're there, principled as ever. I carry my card with pride.

3. You bet. For details of the case I think this is a good site

It's about as beyond-unsavory as it gets. But I am with the ACLU on this.

4. Cases like this REALLY test my support for the ACLU.

I wholeheartedly support what the ACLU stands for, but sometimes I think even they wish they could refuse to support certain groups, like say one that advocates fucking children. They may be Americans entitled to the same Constitutional protections as the rest of us, but they're still a bunch of vile, despicable, evil, manipulative, predatory, evil, amoral, deplorable, barbaric, loathsome, EVIL, repulsive, depraved boy-fuckers. Just because the Constitution is on their side doesn't mean I won't kick the living shit out of a NAMBLA member given the chance.
