Who Pays the ACLU's Lawyers?

Why, you do, of course. Every time the ACLU files a suit, by current law, their lawyers are paid from your taxes. Senate hearings to change that begin today.

From Jay at Stop the ACLU:

When the ACLU wins a case against the Boy Scouts, the public display of the Ten Commandments, veterans memorials, and other symbols of American history and heritage guess who pays them? You do! However, there is current legislation going before the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, as well as a companion bill going before the House that is designed to put a stop to this...
...The ACLU supports many radical causes, and while they may have every right to do so, it should not be at the expense of taxpayers that do not support such causes. Please contact your Congress critter, and representative, and tell them to support PERA.

Stop the ACLU provides links for you to contact your senators and representatives.

2 Where was the ACLU when Murtha slandered and defamed the Marines involved in the Haditha incident? What are they doing about it now?

Nothing that's what they are doing. But Ssgt Frank Wuterich is not going to just sit back and take it. He is suing Mermaid Man John Murtha for defamation. He could with this one too. There is a precedent.

4 Yep, n.a. palm, the American taxpayer is financing both of the cults you mentioned. And it is time we put a stop to it. Now's our chance, peoples, so call the critters in Washington and tell them how you feel about the ACLU.

5 The ACLU sucks. That's all that needs to be said about this organization.

6 I called both of my senators and my congressman and asked them to vote for this legislation.

7 If the ACLU were to stop being financed, who would fight for our Constitutional rights. The courts depend on the ACLU to bring legislation to stop religion from entering the legal system and prevents tyrany by the majority. Before you bash the ACLU learn a little more about them.

8 Always figured the ACLU was self-funded with tax-exempt status. I can live with both.

If anyone knows of any fed/state/local funding or institutional (like United Way or other) let me know.

It is possible they receive some funding thru forced contributions with college fees - Several groups here in NY pulled that off (ie. NYPIRG).
