Yes, indeed, you’re right! I’m plenty old enough to remember the ACLU before Trump and before Alan’s stints on their director’s board. Alan Dershowitz is truly a rare bird because he’s actually able to put aside his liberal-left leanings in the pursuit of civil jurisprudence. He is a civil libertarian.
Unfortunately, because he is a liberal leftist, I think he’s viewed the ACLU through rose colored glasses, and it’s only now, with Trump, when the radical Left has taken over his Democrat party that he can plainly see all the corruption that we’ve seen all along.
