March 26, 200521 yr http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...083571111681239 The American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) (ACLU), long vilified by conservatives, has joined forces with right-wing groups the American Conservative Union, Americans for Tax Reform, and the Free Congress Foundation to spearhead the ''Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances'' coalition. ''Checks and balances are absolutely essential, even and especially during times of threat,'' said coalition leader Bob Barr, a former Republican Congressman from Georgia who voted for the law in 2001. ''Our message is universal. Liberty is not divisible, even in the face of terrorism, and we must not allow any part of it to be sacrificed in our efforts to defeat acts of terrorism.'' Wow, I'm in agreement with Pat Buchanan, Bob Barr & Dick Armey on the PATRIOT Act issue. Who would have thunk that one?
