“Protecting the rights of marijuana users.” Note that neither the phrase “gun rights” or “Second Amendment” appears anywhere in the ACLU’s email blast to donors cheering their win representing Ali Hemani at the Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling.
The ACLU’s big takeaway here:
The court has sent a strong message that the government cannot criminalize the conduct of large numbers of people by making categorical and unfounded assumptions about whether they are dangerous.
The fact that those people have a civil right to keep and bear arms never seems to enter into the equation for the “nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.”
Well, some of the individual rights and liberties, anyway.
The NAACP and the ACLU were both founded by white, mostly immigrant communists. Their goal was never about Liberty. As I’ve said before. The people who advocate having weed made legal, have never ever supported civil rights.
But they do support getting intoxicated. Their goal is to have as many in the population distracted as possible. Just like in the book “1984”. Where the government supported having “free” beer being given to the populace.
In the real world of the 21st-century, the s0,ci@:list p”r0gres;siv,es in California, Oregon and Washington State, have begun giving away “free” medical m@r;iju@n@ and sometimes “free” alcohol in San Francisco.
ACLU’s stated platform is that they do not support or defend Second Amendment rights, so this is no surprise.
