Let me get this right... just because the ACLU defends the
constitution and upholds anyone's civil rights, they are to be blasted
because they don't choose "the good guys"? It is good that the US has
so many noble legal groups to defend our Constitution. It's just
unfortunate that some of these legal groups are wopsided when it comes
to defending the rights of the individual over the rights of the
society.

As for the Nazis and the KKK, the best way to deal with those people
is just to ignore them.

Didn't the Supreme Court decide this? I'm not sure who argued for the
anti-abortion folks, but this was certainly a saane solution in light
of the continued violence.
