    ACLU lawyer sides with Michael Cohen

    A lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union sided with President Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen on Tuesday, saying a judge should allow a neutral party to review the documents the FBI seized from Cohen's office.
    ACLU lawyer Brett Max Kaufman agreed with Cohen's lawyers in a blog post that it makes no sense for the government itself to decide which files it can keep and use in an attempt to prosecute Cohen and which files it should ignore.
    "Such files should be reviewed in the first instance by a neutral party, or 'special master,' appointed by and answerable to the court, to ensure that the prosecutors and investigators get the evidence they are authorized to look for," Kaufman wrote. "They should not be allowed to roam widely through digital files that may contain terrabytes of private information."

    "A special master — or, perhaps, a magistrate judge — appointed by a neutral district court judge would ensure that an independent party plays the role of filter, and that the actual search is strictly limited by the bounds of the warrant," he added.
    The ACLU blog post came out a day after Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz accused the ACLU of being a "hard-left" organization that was choosing not to defend Trump even though it would normally defend someone in his position.

    Obviously they did, considering a thread about it is created. Otherwise, if they disagreed with Cohen, it would never exist.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    If the ACLU disagreed with Cohen and a thread never existed, it would because those that would be happy about it were too lazy to go and find it and post it.

    Im guessing from your thread you would expect me to post threads you approve of, too high expectations usually result in disappointment

    That’s the metaphysical paradox world we live in. At this point, my expectations of partisan threads are pretty low, so trust me when I say there is nothing that can disappoint me here.

    My expectation of you starting threads of any kind is very low, but your bemoaning threads started by others has come to be very much expected.
