Latest ACLU funny

good lord!!

American Civil Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy.:funn:

wow...

next, they will be pushing for people to smoke crack in public restrooms.

So becoming a member of the Mile-High Club is okay?

So becoming a member of the Mile-High Club is okay?

As long as you are over Minnesotta's airspace!

This is rediculous, why not cars?

Some day, a person mocking the ACLU will need them to protect their Constitution-given liberties. You may not agree with their choice of cases, but many people don't understand why the ACLU has a function in the first place. I used to be one of those people, so I know the mindset. It appears this thread is full of those people, so I won't bother to comment further.

I agree with you completely, I just don't feel that sex in a PUBLIC bathroom stall is a protected civil liberty. Keep this in mind if your kids ever ask what that noise is coming from the next stall over.

This is rediculous, why not cars?

this is exactly what I first thought of. I cant have sex in a car on a public road but now it is ok for a public restroom???

Pics? :funn:Sorry, I couldn't resist. That was exactly what I was saying. I would think a car with some limo tint would be a little more "private" than a public bathroom.

Sometimes the cases the ACLU chooses to defend seem silly on the surface, but it is the underlying legal principle that we should all be concerned with protecting. Should you have an expectation of privacy in a public bathroom? Yes. That's why there are no windows and there are doors.

So, the ACLU has to defend this case because if they don't there is a legal precedent that people don't have the right to expect privacy in a bathroom stall. And then there will be nothing to stop airports or businesses from installing cameras in public restrooms.

So, Dr. Skunky and friends, I look forward to watching you take a dump on YouTube someday soon if the ACLU doesn't succeed in its bid to protect your privacy.:roll:

They haven't been of any help to me. I was a victim of police brutality because I ran a yellow light and asked the ACLU to represent me and some other people in town that I know who had been treated in a similar manner. They said they had too much going on to take on the case. It just so happens that I have the whole thing on tape. I accidentally pressed redial when they took my phone away from me , my sister didn't answer, so most of the event was recorded on her voice mail. I just decided not to press it and spend a lot of money on lawyers because the ACLU didn't have time for me.

Having stage fright, I fully agree that I should have a right to privacy in public restrooms. I realize that is the point being made by the ACLU. What I don't agree with is that that Sen Larry admitted to breaking the law, which included soliciting someone for sex. If he did as he stated, he also is breaking the laws by trespassing into the adjacent stall, which violates the right of privacy of the cop he solicited, and defeats the very privacy expectations for which the ACLU is fighting.

I certainly could care less about what the Senator does in the privacy of his home, as long as he isn't exposing himself through the windows or doors, or being so audible that I can hear him when I pass down the street or sidewalk. This goes the same if he is in a car. If I get out of my car at the grocery store, I don't want to hear him getting it on. Public restrooms are no different for me. I don't want to take my nephews to the potty, and having to hear sexual moans and groans of illegal sexual activity.

A tough part of my argument comes into play when living in close proximity to someone, such as in an apartment complex or condo bldg. I really don't want to explain sexual screeming of two men, to my nephews or grandmother, who might be visiting. Maybe the answer to my argument is that you should be able to do whatever you want in your own home as long as it does not affect other people, or harm anyone in your home.

yes,but what about two women?

I am sorry that this happened to you BR. The ACLU has to pick and choose cases, and usually has to take cases that have a national impact rather than a small local impact- the most "bang for it's buck" concept. They do not have bottomless pockets, and local office staff is usually small.

The following is a quick read about the history and function of the ACLU, from their homepage. Again, you may not always agree with their case choices, but there is a "method to their madness".

The American system of government is founded on two counterbalancing principles: that the majority of the people governs, through democratically elected representatives; and that the power even of a democratic majority must be limited, to ensure individual rights.

Majority power is limited by the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which consists of the original ten amendments ratified in 1791, plus the three post-Civil War amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th) and the 19th Amendment (women's suffrage), adopted in 1920.

The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees:

* Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
* Your right to equal protection under the law - equal treatment regardless of race, sex, religion or national origin.
* Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
* Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.

We work also to extend rights to segments of our population that have traditionally been denied their rights, including Native Americans and other people of color; lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people; women; mental-health patients; prisoners; people with disabilities; and the poor.

If the rights of society's most vulnerable members are denied, everybody's rights are imperiled.

The ACLU was founded by Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and others in 1920. We are nonprofit and nonpartisan and have grown from a roomful of civil liberties activists to an organization of more than 500,000 members and supporters. We handle nearly 6,000 court cases annually from our offices in almost every state.

The ACLU has maintained the position that civil liberties must be respected, even in times of national emergency. The ACLU is supported by annual dues and contributions from its members, plus grants from private foundations and individuals. We do not receive any government funding.

Some day, a person mocking the ACLU will need them to protect their Constitution-given liberties. You may not agree with their choice of cases, but many people don't understand why the ACLU has a function in the first place. I used to be one of those people, so I know the mindset.

Oh Jen-nay, come on. Larry Craig has been the butt of jokes ever since his bathroom incident. The fact that the ACLU is now making the case that there is an expectation of privacy for consensual sex in a public bathroom stall is laughable. They knew this would generate all sorts of coverage, and I bet any coverage is good for their bank account. So we all get a chuckle and the ACLU gets money-we all win.

I don't agree with this case either, but sometimes I think these type of threads are brought up here to incite and perpetuate certain stereotypes, in this case, the usual "bash the ACLU" bit. The tone goes a little deeper than the joke sometimes Skunky. But never mind, have at it. I can provide you with a list of "baiting" subjects that I am sure would be profitable in this game.

O.K. here's my 3 Pesos, If you think you have privacy in this day and age your High. As far as the ACLU goes they pick their battles when they need to. How does the ACLU feel about Private Beaches? Georg Orwell ring a bell. Big brothers brothers brother is watching the other brothers. On one last confusing note, If he had to pay to get into this restroom like in New York the perhaps it would be private. Pray for sun and I'll quit posting.

Sometimes the cases the ACLU chooses to defend seem silly on the surface, but it is the underlying legal principle that we should all be concerned with protecting. Should you have an expectation of privacy in a public bathroom? Yes. That's why there are no windows and there are doors.

So, Dr. Skunky and friends, I look forward to watching you take a dump on YouTube someday soon if the ACLU doesn't succeed in its bid to protect your privacy.:roll:

Yeah, and the deviant jerks who tape me taking a dump will be defended by the ACLU. Did the wenches go boozing today?

Oh Jenny, I posted it because it is funny. If you laughed at any of the Larry Craig jokes, you must certainly see humor in such a bizarre legal defense. Thats all, no harm meant.

Your wench spent the day writing checks to the Obama campaign, and we will be planning her campaigning trip to SC tonight over some lovely wine and food. Your conservative friends will think you are really whipped now.
