ACLU Celebrates Raid on Trump’s Lawyer: ‘The Rule of Law is Alive’
Breitbart ^ | 4-12-2018 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 04/12/2018 5:02:04 AM PDT by servo1969

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, one of the country’s foremost defense lawyers and a civil libertarian who supported Hillary Clinton for president, condemned the raid.

“If this were Hillary Clinton being investigated and they went into her lawyer’s office, the ACLU would be on every television station in America jumping up and down,” he told Fox News this week.

However, the ACLU not only condones the raid on Trump’s; it is applauding it.

Roger Baldwin, one of the founders of the ACLU and its first director, was a communist.

“Therefore, I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the State itself as an instrument of property, the abolition of the propertied class and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”

(From Roger Nash Baldwin and the American Civil Liberties Union [New York: Columbia University Press, 2000], pp. 228-229.)

There is no such thing as honesty or integrity, all that is left is their side and our side. And most of our side is on their side against Trump.

I’d think more than a few attorneys would see past their typical leftism to understand that the formerly inviolable attorney-client privilege just went down the toilet, but no.

Unfortunately, their definition of Rule of Law is: “Anyone we don’t like needs to go, and by any means necessary.”

the aclu is a communist front organization. None of them use the word “communist,” but they are.

It has nothing to do with civil liberties. It hates this country, and pretends to love it while destroying it in its foundations.

The goal of the ACLU, which was founded by a Communist, has always been to use continuously evolving interpretations of the Constitution to slowly render the Constitution meaningless.

The communists are amoral. Immoral implies that one still has some kind of foundation but acts against it. These people have no foundation.

What little relevance the ACLU had left is now gone forever.

>>You mean the American Communist Lawyers Union.<<

First they came after Trump’s Lawyers but I did not care because I hate Trump. Then they came after...

Lawyer-client privilege is sacrosanct, except when the client is someone the left doesn’t like.

> no one — not even the president, let alone his lawyer — is above the law

I agree. If they had evidence of crimes they did the right thing. But they had better charge the lawyer with serious crimes which they had reasonable evidence of before the raid. If they can’t, this raid was based on politics rather than law. And even if it was done legally, every American should be outraged.

The goal of left-wing anarchists is to get rid of the State, only in the sense of it serving to protect property from being seized by the mob.

Right-wing anarchists want the State out of the way so that they can freely shoot the mob when the mob tries to take their property.

Now Sessions has three fans: Rosenstein, Mueller and the ACLU. [Interesting, isn’t it, that we didn’t start having politically motivated no-knock, dead of night raids on Republicans until Sessions became AG. Hmm.]

As the Left flushes the 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments, the 2nd becomes ever more important.
