The ACLU gets a bad wrap because it sues for some of the worst reasons. Take for example their most recent suit in Nebraska. A resident of Nebraska, who supports marijuana legalization, has requested a plate reading “NE 420”. The letters of course refer to Nebraska. The numbers refer to both the time 4:20 p.m. and the date April 20^th - both times associated with pot smoking.

The Nebraska DMV denied the requested license plate because 1- it promoted marijuana use, which is an illegal drug in the state; 2- Hitler was born on April 20^th, and; 3-the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado occurred on April 20^th.

Is it really that important to have the requested license plate that a lawsuit is necessary? Is it fair that the good people of Nebraska have to pay to defend the lawsuit?
