you have no idea if they really tried to kill americans because they never went to trial.Maybe you don't understand my question correctly.
Why would the AMERICAN civil liberties union, defend a FOREIGN citizen? Especially if he's being charged with terrorism... you know, the same kind of terrorism that brought down our towers on 9/11?
Why not let Human Rights Watch or the Red Cross or any of the other far left international organizations take care of this. Why does an AMERICAN leftist organization have to do this?
ACLU is NOT leftist
That's like saying Skinheads aren't rightists. OF COURSE THE ACLU IS A FAR LEFT FRINGE GROUP.
Everything they've done in the past decade has been to defend the civil liberties of foreign citiziens who have tried to commit terrorism!! If you are an AMERICAN lawyer, you defend AMERICANS - NOT FOREIGNERS - ESPECIALLY FOREIGNERS WHO TRIED TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE!
The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Courts decision in D.C. v. Heller. While the decision is a significant and historic reinterpretation of the right to keep and bear arms, the decision leaves many important questions unanswered that will have to be resolved in future litigation, including what regulations are permissible, and which weapons are embraced by the Second Amendment right that the Court has now recognized.
As always, we welcome your comments.
actually they were defending Texas State Law which say you can carry a concealed weapon in your car. And either way they were defending someone right to carry a weapon.here is an example of them defending the 2nd amendment and gun laws.
Grits for Breakfast: Report: DAs defy Legislature over carrying handguns in personal vehicles
You either didn't read this or didn't understand it. The ACLU wasn't defending the 2nd amendment. They were involved because of what they saw as intrusive 'investigations' on the part of the police.

this will be interesting
will Obama go far left like GInsburg, or replace him with a moderate, like Souter was
you are taking one quote and saying that is their basic issue.actually they were defending Texas State Law which say you can carry a concealed weapon in your car. And either way they were defending someone right to carry a weapon.
You don't understand how this case worked. Go back and read it again and look at the supporting documents and you will see why the ACLU was involved. It was because they were worried about intrusive searches. Basically a 4th amendment issue for them.
lets put it this waythis will be interesting
will Obama go far left like GInsburg, or replace him with a moderate, like Souter was
Do you know what the difference was between Ginsburg's opinions and Souter's?
you know, given that you've applied different labels to them.

Read my post of their joint statement. Kind of seems like they protecting the gun owner's rights to me.
And maybe who he picks will prove people wrong. Roberts has proved me wrong. Yes he conservative but he is not far right as many liberals stated.lets put it this waythis will be interesting

a Souter type would likely be the best i would hope for

Anyone who examined Roberts' record would have known better than to think he was a far-right extremist. Which is why he received so much support and recognition across the political aisle.
Alito, on the other hand...
Roberts is given respect because he's a jurist...even if one doesn't agree with him, one has to admire his scholarship...
unlike Alito who was rightfully given the name, Scalito...
I agree but when I was watching the appointment I was not up on my politics, I pretty much didn't care to investigate for myself and went along with what someone told me. And like Jillian said he is jurist and I feel he is not usually partisan.[

I guess the Bill Of Rights is anti american also. And I also love how repugs always get decide what is anti american.the ACLU is as American as one can get. the ACLU defends civil rights of every American, you idiot.
I'm not the idiot.. The ACLU is as Anti American as it gets.
