"US Taxpayers fund ACLU"


Roger Hitchcock reported today (December 3) on the Rush Limbaugh Show that most of the cases that the ACLU brings to attack Boy Scouts, remove Ten Commandments, remove the tiny cross from the LA County Official Seal, etc. are actually funded by US taxpayers under  US Federal Statute 42US 1988.  This is an anti-discrimination law which is used routinely by the ACLU to pay for the court costs of their lawsuits and their attorney fees.  For example, the removal of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse in Alabama cost Alabama taxpayers some half million dollars.  The lawsuit cost against the County of Los Angeles over their Seal cost Los Angeles taxpayers nearly 1 million dollars.
