ACLU and the Porn Industry

Two recent Oregon Supreme Court cases demonstrate the American Civil Liberties Union’s commitment to the pornography industry, claims an internationally respected expert and Justice Department consultant on the subject.
According to Judith Reisman Ph.D., the cases – State of Oregon v. Ciancanelli and City of Nyssa v. Dufloth/Smith – demonstrate that the ACLU will defend the most extreme elements of a business that now, as these cases show, includes “live sex shows.”
Late last month, the Oregon Supreme Court struck down a state law banning live sex shows as well as an ordinance that regulated the conduct of nude dancers. In two 5-1 decisions, the court ruled that both laws violated the rights to freedom of speech and expression found in the state’s constitution, adopted in 1859. The lone dissenter in both cases, Justice Paul De Muniz, could not concur with the five other justices in viewing “masturbation and sexual intercourse in a ‘live public show’” as a form of speech provided for in the Oregon Constitution. In both cases, the Oregon chapter of the ACLU filed an amicus curiae supporting the right of the strip club owners to facilitate sexual contact between consenting adults.
Previously, the ACLU has defended child pornography. In a quietly prosecuted case in 1981, People v. Ferber, the ACLU won a 5-2 decision in the New York Court of Appeals that for a short time “legalized simulated intercourse, real intercourse, lewd conduct … with children,” says Reisman, author of the soon-to-be-released, “Kinsey’s Attic: How One Man’s Psychopathology Changed the World.” Fortunately, says Reisman, the Ferber case was later appealed by the New York attorney general and ultimately reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Oregon cases, like Ferber, just demonstrate how far the ACLU will go in defending pornographers, adds Reisman.
Perhaps the ACLU is interested in $12 to $14 Billion dollars the sex industry brings in per year? Thats the ACLU for you, always defending the “little guy.” All sarcasm aside, its the “little guys” the ACLU don’t mind seeing be victims. A policy to legalize Child porn? A war on the the Boy Scouts? Wanting 13 year olds to have abortions without parental consent? NAMBLA??? Why this organization hasn’t been outlawed is beyong me, because they are certainly criminal.

More blogs about the ACLU
Last week I sent an email (to someone) asking to be added to the ACLU blogburst list or whatever other Anti-ACLU blogroll I can get on.
I’ve tried to re-apply but it told me that I was still being considered… so, can I join?
*grin*
Keep up the amazing work!

ACLU ignorance of the laws of the United States is understandable as they are fanatics but Oregon’s Supreme Court Justices ignorance is not. That is that natural law rights addressed by John Locke were made the law of the land by the Declaration of Independence and recognized by the Ninth Amendment of the Constitution state very clearly that liberty does not justify license. So the deciding Justices need to go to a competent law school that teaches this basic tenant of United States and Oregon Law. Oregon state judges are elected so the decided judges need to be voted out to send a message to them that Oregon is a free state not a lawless one.
