I’m very glad the ACLU is there to take the case. I must say, I hope they lose, and I presume they will since a driver’s license is not a right, but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest that they took the case. Without the ACLU, all we would have are corporate-shill attorneys, and they are the ones who scare me.

Having an entity in theory such as the ACLU is probably a Good Thing®, but the extreme, agenda-driving wackos currently running it make it a liability.

Without question there are ulterior motives involved here-- and legislation from the bench is one of my pet-peeves...
