ACLU - Enemy Sympathizers

Every time I try to beguile myself into thinking the ACLU has reached the limit of outrageous anti-Americanism, another shoe drops. Here's the latest handcuffing stunt by the ACLU courtesy of Jay at Stop The ACLU.

Today, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that attorneys seeking to represent indigent clients are no longer required to sign documents swearing that they are not terrorists and have no involvement with terrorist groups. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio had challenged the provision, which is part of the Ohio Patriot Act, calling the requirement unnecessary red tape that will do nothing to prevent terrorism.

"We are pleased the court recognized that attorneys should not be forced to sign these ineffective and offensive pledges," said ACLU of Ohio Executive Director Christine Link. "The Ohio Patriot Act is an assault on the fundamental liberties of all Ohioans. Hopefully, this decision is a stepping stone to reining in this overreaching and flawed law."

As an Ohioan, I'm angry. Not only is my anger directed at the ACLU, which I consider to be an agency that almost exclusively supports America's enemies, but I'm also angry at the Ohio Supreme Court. What's next? No more oaths of office?

I don't suppose it crossed the minds of the Supremes that they have given terrorists free license to surreptitiously enter courtrooms to further their primary goal of murdering as many Americans as possible. Also, the ruling logically sets a precedent for all background questionnaires for employment to be challenged and ruled unconstitutional.

Not being a legal scholar, all I can do is apply common sense. Doing so, the decision by the Ohio Supreme Court makes no damn sense. Regarding the ACLU, any deep-rooted and unfounded hope that the organization has someone in its hierarchy that respects the traditions and institutions of American freedom are gone. I see the ACLU as a fifth column, enemy sympathizers bent on sabotaging efforts to protect the United States from terrorists.
