Since When are Driver's Licenses a Civil Right

By |2008-02-12T16:02:39-05:00February 12th, 2008|

This time the ACLU is has sued the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Indiana claiming that having a driver’s license is a “civil right.”

The ACLU is seeking to maintain some 56,000 drivers’ licenses containing outdated or incorrect information under the premise that these licenses are an expected right.

American Civil Rights Union spokesman John Armor points out that, “The US Supreme Court has long since ruled that obtaining a drivers license is a privilege, not a right.”

A spokesman for the ACLU has said, “What the BMV is doing is taking legally an entitlement from thousands of people. You’re entitled to have […]

ACRU Files Amicus Brief on DC v. Heller

By |2008-02-11T14:26:04-05:00February 11th, 2008|

Today, the ACRU filed an amicus brief on DC v. Heller, known as the DC Gun Ban Case.

Peter Ferrara, General Counsel for the ACRU, said this,

The Courts cannot treat the Second Amendment as a politically incorrect, disfavored stepchild of the Bill of Rights. Fidelity to the Constitution requires that courts give it the same zealous protection as every other right stated in our founding document. The Amendment is not being read broadly to protect the rights and liberties of the people if it is somehow interpreted to allow the government to adopt a complete ban on handguns and the use of other firearms […]

Sex Worker Show at William and Mary

By |2020-04-23T21:53:05-04:00February 5th, 2008|

The facts for this outrage, but not the legal conclusions, come from an article published in the Newport News Daily Press on 28 January, 2008.

The President of the College of William and Mary gave students at the college permission to hold the Sex Workers’ Art Show on its Williamsburg campus, in February. He said he did so because students sponsoring the Sex Show “could not find” a place to hold the event off campus.

Therefore, he concluded that it would be “censorship” for the College not to allow the Sex Show on campus. A local Unitarian Church had considered sponsoring the Show, […]

Horace Cooper: President Has Power To Let FISA Continue

By |2008-02-01T16:27:20-05:00February 1st, 2008|

Rather than pass a permanent renewal of America's foreign intelligence surveillance capability, Congress continues to debate the need for the Protect America Act. After waiting six months, they've now passed a 15-day extension of the act giving them more time to bicker over the issue. If they fail to act, it is essential that President Bush use his inherent executive power to continue the electronic surveillance program.

The ACLU recently announced what they called the "10 ways our government

The ACLU announced the following picks for what they claim are “10 ways our government failed us in 2007.” Leaving no morsel of our government untouched, the list is a disgrace to America’s legislative and executive system.

spying ACRU Response: No warrant is needed for foreign communications. Plus,

all surveillance is subject to the Security Court set up by Congress.

ACRU Senior Fellow Horace Cooper: No time to go wobbly

By |2008-01-25T12:12:59-05:00January 25th, 2008|

Senior Fellow Horace Cooper has an op-ed in today’s Washington Times, where he argues for renewing FISA.

Says Cooper,

It’s been six years since the odious attacks of September 11 and even though there is an understandable amount of complacency settling in, as Margaret Thatcher warned the first President Bush, it’s “no time to go wobbly.” It is essential that our policy-makers at home drown out the scare tactics of leftist groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). We absolutely must do so in order to make sure that we stay ever vigilant and protect our citizens domestically.

ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell: "Reauthorize FISA"

By |2008-01-24T19:09:18-05:00January 24th, 2008|

In today’s New York Sun, Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell wrote a column arguing Congress should reauthorize FISA.

Says Blackwell,

We are at war. Destroying two skyscrapers and part of our military headquarters are not just criminal acts. Killing 2,973 people in a planned attack is not just a criminal act. These are acts of war. While law enforcement is to maintain harmony within our culture, war is to protect our culture from being eradicated.
