This law seems medieval and slanted against men to me.
Why should men be charged absorbent court fees to change his last name for marriage when a woman doesn't have to - her fees are included in the marriage application process. Only six states — Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Massachusetts, New York and North Dakota — have statutes establishing equal name-change processes for men and women when they marry.
Hard as it is to admit - I think the ACLU got this one right. What do you think?
The ACLU claims the difficulty faced by a husband seeking to change his name violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

The group I was with called the ACLU the A=Anti C=Christian L=League U=United
Why would the ACLU want to get into the case of a man wanting to change his name which is very rare indeed? Answer; M O N E Y. They know that if they win the case they can ask for and get paid, by the Government, Attorney fees in the amount of tens of thousands of dollars which is tax money coming out of the publics pockets. Almost every case the ACLU wins, we pay for.

Ever think the reason the ACLU is involved in this name change is aid the Arab terrorists and the like to hide from detection.
If you remember the movie Stalog 17 when William Holden was escaping the camp every one the barracks wondered why William Holden would take the risk of death by the Germans. The comic relief said "Ever think he wants to steal our wire cutters?"
Never trust any thing the ACLU does!

I was thinking along the same lines when I read that story this AM. But the real test will come when the draft is reinstated and they sue to make sure a woman's right to be drafted is FINALLY realized.

The ACLU always gets it right. It gets slammed from both leftists and rightwingers because they stick to the constitution, not to idealogue values of extremists.

The ACLU is so bad for the country and wrong so often that if they were ever right I would be suspicious of their motivations. It is amazing that we have so many people in the country that want to destroy it.
