TechnoratiThe lawsuit claims that Napolitano’s Department has violated the First and Fifth Amendment Constitutional rights of these three plaintiffs by attempting to chill their free speech, expressive association, and equal protection rights.
“This is not an intelligence report but a diatribe against those who oppose the policies of the Obama administration," said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center. "It is a declaration of war against the American people and our constitution."
Christian Coalition of America, meanwhile, has urged supporters to contact Napolitano to demand an apology.
"Veterans and pro-lifers should not be targeted as terrorist threats by the Obama administration," the group's president, Roberta Combs, stated in an e-mail sent Friday. "This partisanship must stop."
Napolitano apologized to veterans last week, telling Fox News that the report was meant as "an assessment, not an accusation." She also said if there was one part she could rewrite it would be the footnote defining rightwing extremist groups.
Many war veterans organizations, including the commander of the 3 million-member American Legion, had blasted the report for citing the Oklahoma City bombing by military veteran Timothy McVeigh as one instance of a veteran becoming a domestic terrorist.
Among those flustered over the report were members of the House Committee on Homeland Security who have requested Napolitano to meet with them this week and brief them on the report.
