Alan Dershowitz: I'm being 'shunned' by friends at Martha's Vineyard for defending Trump’s 'civil liberties’

Alan Dershowitz, lawyer and emeritus professor at Harvard Law School, revealed in an op-ed that he’s experienced social upheaval at Martha’s Vineyard because of his vocal defense of President Trump’s "civil liberties."

In the op-ed, published by the Hill, Dershowitz said he has been shunned by his friends on the affluent Massachusetts island, due to their mental separation of people into two camps: for Trump or against him.

“And that is all some people need to know to make judgments about you,” wrote Dershowitz while discussing how divided the political landscape is in the U.S., leading to a lack of discourse between the two sides.

Dershowitz, who has repeatedly made headlines for his defense of Republican lawmakers and the president, explained that though he opposes many of Trump’s immigration policies and contributed “handsomely” to 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign, his cohorts at the Vineyard purely see him as a supporter of the president.

Then maybe they aren’t really your friends, Mr. Dershowitz.

The principles, whereby the ACLU defended free speech for the Skokie Nazi marchers, is a thing of the past.

The civility with which Dersh engages friends and opponents is a thing of the past.

Mark all of that up to the transformation brought by Obama and his far left followers, in government and the media.

Exactly...I think you need some new *friends* Alan.

Dershowitz committed the Left's most unforgivable sin. The sin of "independent thought" is the worst thing anyone can do as a Leftist. If you do not goose-step with them in 'EVERY SINGLE DETAIL' of what they believe, then you are an apostate and deserve to be sent to the camps with all the Republicans.

The Left turns on its own all the time, even over minor disagreements with the agenda. A homosexual vegan latte-sucking Liberal can agree with 100% of everything Liberals believe in for decades, but the moment they say something like, 'You know, maybe that Christian baker has a point about freedom.' they will throw you overboard in the blink of an eye. Being a dissident is absolutely NOT TOLERATED on the Left even in simple minor disagreements.

Mr. Dershowitz, your friends are fascists.
