Don't expect the ACLU to give a crap. They're too busy getting crosses and commandments removed from public places to give a damn about civil and privacy rights. Besides, who believes in the ACLU, anyway? They're frauds! Like hell that far-left hate group is going to do anything to piss off the far-left Obama Regime.
Imagine the outrage if a non-leftist government were to behave like this.

"According to the new technology czar, there is a 'compelling need' to do this," said O'Leary.

"No matter what the Obama administration says, a 'cookie' is a spy device," said O’Leary. "No matter how inoffensive the administration says their spy devices will be, once you open the door to the federal government spying on every American who visits a government website, it can't be closed – it can only be expanded."
