When I hear “mean-spirited,” my trigger finger gets itchy

Town Sued Over Strict Immigration Law reports:

“This mean-spirited law is wrong for many reasons but the most obvious is that the city does not have the power to make its own immigration laws,” Omar Jadwat, an attorney for the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said in a statement.

Oh. I didn’t realize there was a “mean-spirited” clause in the Constitution. And since when did the ACLU only support laws that are authorized by the relevant constitution?
