Tree words...”National Lawyers Guild”
9. The National Lawyers Guild was the Soviet Union’s first Communist Party legal front in the US as an adjunct to their worldwide legal fronts network of the International Red Aid organization, which became the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL).
Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY) was one of their members in the US in the 1940s. Both she and her husband Martin Abzug were reportedly secret members of the Communist Party USA but the document with this information cannot be found in the National Archives (despite having been seen by one of Congress’s top researchers).
The CPUSA set up another legal front in the 1960s entitled The National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC). Then the NLG created a more modern front called the Center for Constitution Rights (CCR) in order to attract younger MARXIST and radical lawyers.
Same leaders, same goals,i.e. to use the courts and the Constitution to destroy both in order to undermine democracy in the US.
