I THINK THAT THIS REFUSE TO SURRENDER PLEDGE is a good idea. Regardless of which party is in power.

UPDATE: Jeez, a lot of people don’t like the ACLU. I don’t see them as evil, the way a lot of people seem to. I think that they do some good work, though their constructive role has diminished as they’ve become more and more a subsidiary of the Michael Moore wing of the Democratic Party. My point, however, was the desirability — no matter who is in power — of defending the Constitution, with a slight tweak at the ACLU for treating the Bush Administration’s threats more harshly than the Clinton Administration’s. The ACLU was actually very critical of Clinton on specific issues, but never took the “barbarians at the gate” approach notwithstanding that Clinton’s record on civil liberties was, if anything, worse than Bush’s.
