You Are The Guest Show 82 - Understanding the ACLU




You Are The Guest Podcast show

Summary: Lynndi Maddox is a practicing attorney and teacher who has brought forth 2 ACLU cases most notably Maddox vs. Moore, which many would know as the 10 Commandments Case. Lynndi tells about her litigation dealing with the religious monument and how it impacted her profession and her life. Lynndi and I also discuss if the the ACLU is seeking justice or do they just have a political axe to grind, and we have a spirited discussion on attorney talk, the role of lawyers in lawmaking, and why the average American citizen distrusts attorneys in the lawmaking process. I also ask Lynndi her opinion on 2 non-ACLU class action suits to find out why they would be considered good lawsuits and get her thoughts on 10 presidential candidates to see which ones she would consider ACLU friendly. Lynndi asks me why gas prices are so high, what is my opinion of the death penalty, and what would it take to convince Al Gore to run in 2008.
