"The Supreme Court of Oregon has ruled that live sex shows are permitted under the 'freedom of expression' banner, and the ACLU filed a brief in favor of that ruling. The organization has moved so far left that anything goes. The ACLU is defending the North American Man Boy Love Association; the ACLU endorses virtual child pornography and has defended the right of people to obtain real child porn; the ACLU opposed the Minuteman protests at the border. So let's apply the no-spin concept to this. The ACLU simply wants a different country, a nation where conduct it approves of is allowed. But the ACLU wants to inhibit conduct it disagrees with. How can anyone support a group as nakedly radical as the ACLU? This isn't about freedom - this is about imposing a radical secular progressive agenda. Talking Points believes the 400,000 members of the ACLU should wake up and smell the totalitarianism. This organization is bent on undermining freedom, not fighting for it."

Author Alan Sears, who has investigated the ACLU, tried to explain the organization's mindset. "The ACLU has long supported these kind of radical things. They don't believe in zoning laws that deal with these types of so-called adult entertainment. If the ACLU had its way, you would have these in every neighborhood and on every street corner. Most people who support the ACLU really don't understand how radical this group is." The Factor again urged members to examine their own organization. "When I tell people some of the things the ACLU supports, they think I'm making it up. That NAMBLA has a right to tell people how to rape children, but you don't have a right to sing a Christmas carol in a public school. How could they have 400,000 people supporting them, including a bunch of movie stars? It's just crazy."

Three New Orleans police officers have been charged for repeatedly punching 64-year old Robert Davis, a man the cops claim was intoxicated. Davis joined The Factor and gave his version of what happened. "I was going to a store for cigarettes, and I asked a cop what time the curfew was to be in effect. Another policeman came along and was rude, and that was it as far as communication between the police and myself. In no way was I disrespectful. I quit drinking 25 years ago." Davis' attorney Joseph Bruno denied that his client is seeking a payday in court. "This is not racial, it is not a money grab. Our goal in this litigation is to make certain that these kinds of things do not happen. This is not an indictment of the entire police department, there are a couple of bad eggs that have to be dealt with." The Factor promised to give equal time on Wednesday's program to the police and their account of the story.

A grand jury has been investigating who leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press, and President Bush's political strategist Karl Rove has been called to testify four times. Reporter Bill Sammon asserted that the administration is extremely concerned. "There is a lot of worry among conservatives that the prosecutor would not be going through all this if he didn't have something. It may indicate that he's going to bring an indictment. The left has been out for Karl Rove's scalp for a long time, and if he gets indicted it will be politically very hard on George Bush." The Factor suggested that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald may be exploring whether Rove or anyone else has lied. "If you bring somebody back more than twice, it's often a perjury charge. And if you lie in front of a grand jury it's a felony. If Rove gets indicted, that will shake this country to its foundations."

As reported previously on The Factor, Minnesota Judge Thomas Schroeder allowed repeat child molester Joseph Duncan free on $15,000 bail, after which Duncan allegedly killed 9-year old Dylan Groene and molested his 8-year old sister. The Groene family has filed suit against the judge and prosecutors. "We're going to try to hold governmental officials responsible for their actions," declared Groene family attorney Russell Van Camp. "This was just an egregious, egregious mistake. I've been given this opportunity to try to help little kids all across the United States." The Factor argued that Judge Schroeder should resign or be fired. "If this judge didn't know Duncan's long history, he's lazy and should be thrown off the bench. This judge is the villain here. He let Duncan out, and the deaths of those people is on him."

In another case involving child abuse, Massachusetts Judge Margot Botsford sentenced a repeat sex offender to just 8 to 11 years for raping five boys. Attorney Ed Ryan spoke in Judge Botsford's defense, and condemned The Factor for previous reports. "You are attacking an individual judge because you don't like the sentence. She gave an eleven year sentence, he'll be 67-years old when he gets out, and then he'll be under close supervision. Not only is it a fair sentence, it's a just sentence. Stop undermining the judiciary of this country!" The Factor questioned how anyone could defend Judge Botsford's decision. "She knew he was a serial offender. All the victims went in front of the judge and told her their lives were destroyed, and she gives him 8 to 11! You're telling me you ruin five lives and you get two years per person? He should have been put away for life! This is outrageous. She's not protecting the kids. It's open season on kids in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You can rape them, scorch them, brutalize them, do whatever you want, and you'll get five to ten years."

The Factor has been urging all states to pass a version of Jessica's Law, which would set long minimum sentences for child predators. Child advocate Wendy Murphy put forth her theory of why so many state politicians seem resistant. "A lot of legislatures are controlled by the criminal defense bar or the American 'Criminal' Liberties Union, as I like to refer to the ACLU. And when push comes to shove, the laws are not being passed. People have to log on to your web site, find out the laws in their states, and have a revolution." The Factor pointed to Montana, where 50-year old Lucien Bonck was sentenced to just five years for raping an 8-year old boy. "Governor Brian Schweitzer says he's looking into Jessica's Law, and says he'll sign it if it gets there. We want everyone in Montana to get in touch with the governor and say you want a Jessica's Law."

George Alland, Woodbury, MN: "Fox distorts the news. For example, calling the war in Iraq part of the war on terror. That is an opinion, not a fact."

Zach Atkins, Lexington, KY: "Bill, I'm a liberal who loves the Factor. You are a fair journalist."

Other viewers commented on the Oregon Supreme Court's ruling that live sex acts on stage are protected under the state constitution.

June Tate, Paisley, OR: "As my daughter pointed out, we cannot smoke in public places but we can now have live sex acts."

Tim Boyle, Beaverton, OR: "Bill, just because you don't like the sex shows doesn't mean we Oregonians don't like them."

Mirranda Mandera, Roxbury, OR: "I am proud to live in this beautiful state but disgusted by what is going on here."
