It began as a liberal organization that was taken over by the communists and supported the Hitler-Stalin Pact. Within a day of the massacre of Israeli babies, women, the elderly and others, the National Lawyers Guild issued a statement in support of the mass murderers. The Guild is a group of hard-left lawyers, students, and legal employees. It has branches in law schools throughout the country and has many members, especially among law students.
I would only argue that the ABA is not conservative. At least, not today. They have fully embraced the neomarxist "diversity, equity and inclusion" ideaology.
Any organization advocating for quotas over merit is not aligned with conservative values.
Agreed. The ABA can only be seen as "conservative" by someone who is pretty far Left to start with. Despite his recent comments, Alan is essentially a left-wing progressive (just not quite as insane as the recent cohort), so it's not surprising he views the ABA as right-wing. Actual conservatives do not share his assessment -- that's why the Federalist Society exists.
It is heartening to have a liberal who is willing to speak truth in a sea of moral confusion. Perhaps one day this country will again have an honest political discussion about issues of consequence.
This is also what the Netanyahu government was up against earlier this year and which helped created the distraction that facilitated the October 7 horror.
Alan has spent too much time with elite apparatchiks inside the halls of Harvard, and on Martha's Vineyard -- where Obama, a man who has never provided any product or service in the marketplace -- just bought a 17M dollar home.
Think about that.
Obama never created a product, never provided a service that brings value to others, yet miracously accumulated 17M, mostly while in office.
Dershowitz voted for that kind of man, not once, but twice.
He voted for people who wanted open borders, who preached DEI (marxism), who regulated the marketplace to such an extent that it forced mom and pop stores out of business, and he also supports regulation that sends massive subsidies to millionaires, including million dollar farmers like myself (hint: I dont need it).
And now he is finally seeing the culmination of his failed policies.
Realism, nature, and the human condition is once again reasserting itself on the streets of London, Paris, NYC, where millions of muslims, in the name of ISLAM, threaten our safety and security, simply because they have a very different ideaology -- one that is incompatible, much like the Chinese, with western philosophical ideals: namely, lockean and kantian ethics.
There are many immigrants who are capable of adopting our values -- mexicans, south americans, most europeans, russians, filipinos, koreans, japanese, but not everyone can.
That is the reality. And the damage is permanent.
Millions of jews in this republic cannot walk down the street without being threatened, attacked, ridiculed, and without facing open threats of genocide by pro palestine students because of "progressive" (really reactionary) policies.

Those who support fascism should face the consequences of their actions because they oppose amd deny the the essence of the legal system

"Few clients would be willing to be represented by lawyers who have advocated the rape, beheading, murder, and kidnapping of Jewish civilians"
After what we've witnessed these last 3 weeks, that sounds like an optimistic statement.
Dersh, the names,
you forgot the names.
Off with their heads, 😡.
Is the ABA conservative? In the same sense Lincoln Project is? [Is this Opposite Day?]
The current Overton Window would make Trotsky look conservative.
DERSHOWITZ is a truth seeker and exposes deceptive behavior
Scary stuff!
Robert Conquest/John O'Sullivan’s apocryphal third law of politics: “Any organisation not explicitly right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing." https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/invasion-of-the-virtue-signallers

I was in law school in the 70s and only a few weird students were members of the Lawyers Guild for students at my school--was viewed as way left org.
Dershowitz is reasonable, prudent and logical.
He's also out of touch with reality.

Absolutely. Publish their parents names too. And the school they attend. Let's get this out there.
Thank you.
