ACLU protects our Constitution
The ACLU released its Trump Memos today. The memos are an important read and detail the Constitutional violations that would happen if implemented.
You can read the memos here — action.aclu.org/…
The memos discuss his policies on immigration, surveillance, torture, abortion and libel.
Anthony Romero wrote in the Washington Post that:
Donald Trump’s proposed policies, if carried out, would trigger a constitutional crisis. By our reckoning, a Trump administration would violate the First, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth amendments if it tried to implement his most controversial plans.

The ACLU is a non-partisan organization and they will also be releasing memos on Clinton’s proposals. But Trump’s plans are dangerous. As Mr. Romero writes
For 96 years, the ACLU has not opposed or supported any candidate for office. We are not going to start with Donald Trump. But in the face of such an agenda, our job will be to muster all the legal arguments we can to derail and deter the presumptive Republican nominee’s patently anti-civil-liberties proposals should he become our nation’s 45th president.
If Trump does win the White House in November, the Constitution and the system of government it created will survive his presidency. Our institutions — particularly our courts — are stronger than the will of one man. But we need to be prepared because the very freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution could come under a sustained attack by a President Trump in the Oval Office.
Join the ACLU and support our Constitution.
