    ACLU: That Collins Gun Control Amendment Is Terrible......

    The ACLU jumps out slamming the Collins Amendment. Telling Repubs and Once again slapping the Demos upside the head about Due Process.





    The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which isn't exactly known for being a bastion of conservative thought, had some pretty harsh words for the Sen. Collins (R-ME) gun control amendment: they "strongly urged" members of the Senate to vote against the amendment as the no-fly lists are vague and riddled with errors.

    The ACLU strongly urges you to vote against the Collins Amendment because it uses the error-prone and unfair watchlist system, along with vague and overbroad terms, as a predicate for a proceeding to deny a firearms permit. The Collins Amendment relies on both the No Fly List, by codifying its criteria, and the Selectee List, by direct reference. Relying on these lists would open the door to arbitrary and discriminatory government action.

    The Collins Amendment would further entrench a watchlist system that is rife with problems. As we have long cautioned, our nation’s watchlisting system is error-prone and unreliable because it uses vague and overbroad criteria and secret evidence to place individuals on blacklists without a meaningful process to correct government error and clear their names. The government's internal guidance for watchlists specifies that nominations to the master watchlist need not be based on “concrete facts,” and it permits placement on the master watchlist based on uncorroborated or even questionably reliable information.

    When you've lost the ACLU, it's probably a good time to stop.....snip~

    I used to belong to the ACLU, and many people would be very surprised how frequently either the national organization or local chapters are in complete agreement with what is generally considered to be the "conservative" side of some issues.

    That's what happens when people get all their knowledge about other people from Fox News ... they begin to become "experts"

    Yes, that's quite a "slam." Someone call the burn unit.

    This was a surprising one, huh? How long do you think the Demos will ignore them this time?

    You will need to get better comeback lines from the Demo underground. Just sayin.

    Next time try thinking of something on your own.

    One of those errors is, The FBI want to be able to conduct sting operations and they need more time to follow suspects
