The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released a 28-page report Friday arguing most of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s governing agenda is unconstitutional, and promises to keep a running tally of all Trump’s policy goals that run afoul of the Constitution.
Titled “The Trump Memos,” the analysis encompasses the New York billionaire’s proposals on immigration, torture, libel, abortion, and government surveillance. It effectively serves as a blueprint for the legal arguments the ACLU would marshall when challenging Trump’s initiatives if elected president.
“Donald Trump’s proposed policies, if carried out, would trigger a constitutional crisis,” ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero wrote Wednesday in the Washington Post. “By our reckoning, a Trump administration would violate the First, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth amendments if it tried to implement his most controversial plans.”
“But we need to be prepared because the very freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution could come under a sustained attack by a President Trump in the Oval Office,” he continued. “If that day comes, make no mistake: We’ll be seeing him in court.”

Over target. Maximum effect. They have the blimps and flak aplenty......
Scared sh!tless, they are.
So, if The Donald is elected will all these Malignant Democrats and select Republicans (not to name names Lindsay Graham, Mitt Romney, Tom Coburn) take to the street as homeless looking for Safe Spaces?
We get Constitutional lectures from a guy named Romero?
Enforcing the law is unconstitutional
These SOBs will be seeing the inside of a prison camp.

I guess they’ve been sleeping for the last 7 1/2 years.
OH looky here: Another ‘28’ pages of crap!!! Happens in every cycle doesn’t it....wonder when Barky’s ‘28’ pages are going to come out???
How could a person go about destroying the ACLU, I wonder?
—why haven’t they been doing this for THE ONE—?
That run afoul of the US Constitution or their extra special version of the Constitution?
Hey ACLU, we know the way to the courthouse too.
We’re in no mood for your shenanigans.
The ACLU has been anti-American since its inception. It should be declared a Communist organization and dealt with accordingly since it was begun to defend Communists.
The same way they challenged Mr Obama when he acted on his own.
When the hell did the left-wing scumbags in the so-called ACLU EVER fight Obama or the leftist governors for violating the Second Amendment?
TOO LATE:
Using the obama precedence:
Ignore laws you don’t like
Make up laws you wished you had with EOs
Use Czars instead of getting appointments through congress
No more treaties - they are now just presidential agreements
Use the IRS to go after your politcal enemies
Etc.
A Trump electoral tsunami would go a long way to telling commie, progressive, social warrior democrats to STFU!
Yep. Not one reaction to all his EOs.
