I still remember Bush Sr. saying with a sneer that Bill Clinton was "a card carrying member of the ACLU!"

I thought that was Richard Dreyfus

I have a sick-ish feeling that it's going to take some massive efforts, if civil liberties are EVER going to be reinstated.

I said my peace on this. There is only one way. Because the electoral process has forever been contaminated by undue monied influences. Remove thiose monied interests and we are on our way back to a free nation. Otherwise embrace the corporate fascism apparent. May I suggest the movie Brazil for a possible glimpse to the future.

I'm thinking more along the lines of the newly heightened 'presidential powers'.

I find it hard to imagine that anyone, having attained the office, will be willing to scale back the scope of his own privileges, for the good of the country.

Good for you. I've been a member for 10 plus years now. and it's always a little fun to open up my wallet and pull out my membership card and watch jaws drop to the floor. And then the uncomfortable silence that follows.

True about that corporate influence. I loved '1984' and 'Brazil', but I don't wish to live in them.......

When they finally do come back we can all look forward to the destruction in New York again. The ACLU does nothing but stir shit and get people killed needlessly.
