| | The ACLU's War on Homeland Security |
 | | In court briefs filed by the ACLU, it has argued that the search warrants used in the raid on the IIIT were overly broad and that the materials taken, which the government is still using in its investigation, should be returned. | | | The ACLU and protestors who held rallies on behalf of Intel software engineer Mike Hawash initially condemned the Justice Department for holding Hawash, a Palestinian born in Jordan who became a U.S. citizen in 1990, for a month as a material witness without formally charging him with a crime. | | | In March, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the ACLU’s challenge to the government’s expanded powers to wiretap and search people suspected of having links to foreign terrorists, a fact the new “populist” ACLU was quick to publicize. |

| | National ACLU Policy on Plural Marriage |
| | The ACLU believes that criminal and civil laws prohibiting or penalizing the practice of plural marriage violate constitutional protections of freedom of expression and association, freedom of religion, and privacy for personal relationships among consenting adults. | | | Criminal and civil laws prohibiting the advocacy or practice of plural marriage are constitutionally defective. | | | Advocacy of plural marriage and the expression of a religious belief in plural marriage are protected by the free speech guarantee of the First Amendment even though polygamy has been declared to be criminal by states. |

| | Decades of Shame - A Short History of the ACLU |
| | An ACLU spokesperson said, "Although we may think proclamations are inappropriate, they may not violate the Constitution." (In 1998, when Governor Hull issued a proclamation declaring a "Bible Week," the ACLU sued, claiming a violation of the so-called "separation of church and state.") | | | In 1997 the ACLU successfully beseeched the Supreme Court to protect the rights of pornographers on the Internet - including the right to show their images to children. | | | January 2003 - The Hawaii branch of the ACLU filed suit to remove a requirement from a public school honor code that students pledge their "love for God." Without going to court, the school backed down. |

| | The ACLU is the nation’s foremost organization defending and advancing civil rights and civil liberties principles through advocacy, litigation, legislative activities, and public education programs. | | | When the Court last considered this issue in 1980—in a challenge also brought by the ACLU of Kentucky—it reversed a lower court ruling that had upheld a state law requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. | | | Also today, the ACLU charged that the FBI is wrongfully withholding thousands of pages of documents, and filed suit in federal court to compel the FBI to comply with the FOIA requests. |

| | Perhaps the ACLU's current drift away from defending civil liberties in favor of antidiscrimination and other concerns could be arrested if the ACLU adhered to a formal constitution-an immutable statement of civil libertarian principles to which the organization could refer any time its mandate became cloudy. | | | In the Hoffius case, the ACLU of Michigan filed a brief supporting plaintiffs suing a landlord for refusing to rent to cohabiting unmarried couples for religious reasons. | | | Religious freedom is hardly the only civil libertarian concern the ACLU has downgraded in favor of antidiscrimination concerns. |

| | ACLU of Colorado: News |
| | Barnette (1943), Judge Babcock agreed with the ACLU's arguments that the Colorado Pledge law was likely to be found unconstitutional because the First Amendment prohibits government from forcing people to participate in speech against their will. | | | On August 15, 2003, the Honorable Lewis Babcock, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, granted the ACLU's request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring the State of Colorado and four local school districts from enforcing Colorado's mandatory Pledge of Allegiance law. | | | In his oral ruling, Judge Babcock said "It doesn't matter whether you're a teacher, a student, a citizen, an administrator, or anyone else, it is beyond the power of the authority of government to compel the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance." |

| | WorldNetDaily: Pull plug on ACLU |
| | For instance, when the ACLU takes a city to court claiming a Christmas display violates the Establishment Clause, if the municipality loses, the city's taxpayers are often forced to pay ACLU attorneys. | | | Since so many members of Congress – nearly all of them are on record in opposing the Defense Department's appeasement of the ACLU, maybe one of these brave souls should move to change the civil-rights statute that permits the ACLU from collecting attorney fees from governments the organization takes to court. | | | CourtZero.org, a website dedicated to stemming judicial activism, is petitioning Congress to change 42 U.S.C., Section 1988, of the United States Code that permits judges to award attorney fees to plaintiffs in civil-rights cases brought against local governments, thereby putting the taxpayers on the hook and oftentimes funneling public money to the ACLU. |
