The ACLU is a crime syndicate...

ACLU, Gitmo lawyers exposed CIA agent identities

The ACLU and defense attorneys for detainees at Guantanamo Bay surveilled and took pictures of CIA agents and then showed the photos to terrorists at Gitmo.

Lucas Guttentag directs the Immigrants Rights Project for the national offices of the American Civil Liberties Union. Formerly a clerk for Texas federal judge William Wayne Justice and a civil rights attorney and law professor, Guttentag joined the American Civil Liberties Union national office in 1985.

Guttentag founded the Immigrants’ Rights Project (IRP) in New York in 1987 and established the California office in 1996. Under his direction, the IRP’s staff conducts a program of national impact litigation, advocacy and public education to enforce and expand the constitutional and civil rights of immigrants.

Guttentag is a lecturer at U.C. Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law and Stanford Law School, where he teaches courses on the constitutional and civil rights of immigrants. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley (1973) and his law degree from Harvard Law School (1978).

to eliminate unfairness caused by the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments passed by Congress in 1986. One of the biggest obstacles they faced, Guttentag says, was the entrenched judicial doctrine of “plenary power”-that the Constitution gives Congress virtually unreviewable control over immigration law. “Our goal is to ensure the same protection of individual rights for immigrants as for other people in our society,” Guttentag says. “The Constitution speaks of ‘persons’ not citizens when it imposes limits on the government’s power. There should not be automatic deference to the political branches of government.”

Since 1996, however, the focus has changed. In the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) and the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), Congress created a whole new set of issues that have had Guttentag and Project staff working overtime. Guttentag conceived the strategy and has led efforts nationwide to challenge provisions that strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to review deportation decisions by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) against legal immigrants convicted of certain crimes. Guttentag concluded that the new court-stripping laws could not be fought in the traditional class-action mode of past civil rights battles

No it’s breaking and entering and thumbing your nose at federal law that is shameful and un-American...

It’s so racist and unconstitutional that it says exactly the same thing the federal law says except it’s more restrictive in terms of preventing racial profiling. So is the Lord High Obama named as a defendant in this lawsuit?

If they win , the citizens should sue the ACLU to cover the costs that illegals incur to the state of AZ.
