Comment on ACLU opposes religious freedom by K. Crary

I think that’s a bit of an overgeneralization. For example, the ACLU opposed McCain-Feingold. But I’ll agree that the ACLU has a strong preference for liberal causes. What galls me about this isn’t that they are taking a pass on freedom of religion (that I would expect), but that they are actively opposing it.

How do you figure? Of the 31 co-sponsors, 15 were Republicans: Amodei, Blackburn, Carter, Chabot, Gallegly, Goodlatte, Griffin (withdrawn), King, Mack, Marino, Nunnelee, Ross (withdrawn), Scalese, Terry (withdrawn), Quayle (withdrawn); and 16 were Democrats: Baca, Barrow, Bass, Berman, Chu, Conyers, Cooper, Deutch, Holden, Larson, Lujan, Owens, Schiff, Sherman, Wasserman-Schultz, Watt. Throw in Lamar Smith and it’s exactly even: 16 Republicans, 16 Democrats.

Of course, the Republicans have many more people to actually back away from it. From the debates:

Paul touted his long-standing opposition to the law. “I am pleased that the attitude has sort of mellowed up here, because the Republicans unfortunately have been on the wrong side of this issue,” he said. “This bill is not going to pass, but watch out for the next one.”

Yes, but migrations are time sensitive. You can’t necessarily undo the damage by allowing it to go forward later.

Thanks for the linkage – it definitely puts the argument in perspective, does it not?
