Dershowitz: ACLU 'Sunk to New Low' in Supporting Cohen Raid

The American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU] has "sunk to a new low," becoming a "cheerleader" for the violation of civil liberties of political opponents, evidenced in the FBI raid earlier this week to obtain documents from President Donald Trump's attorney Michael Cohen, said Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.

In an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner on Saturday, Dershowitz blasted the raid, saying it could open the door to precedent in seizing records protected by attorney-client privilege, even though the move was a violation to the Fourth and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

"Since the election of President Trump, [the ACLU] has sunk to a new low, becoming a cheerleader for the violation of the civil liberties of those on the other side of the political spectrum," Dershowitz wrote.

"The ACLU does not discuss the violations of the Fourth and Sixth Amendments that occur as soon as government agents read communications that were supposed to be protected by the Fourth and Sixth Amendments," he continued.

Unbelieveable!! However, the ACLU is fine with supporting the first ammendment rights of a group of men that want to legalize pedophilia. These are certainly some scary times.
