Alan M. Dershowitz — Trust Me, There Is Nothing To Fear
We know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but we what we seldom realize is that there is usually a fork in the road. As luck would have
it, there is always someone standing at that fork in the road telling us to take that new path as opposed to the other. We're told, "this is this safe path, I should know, so you can trust me."
If you're interested in knowing what that fork in the road looks like, take a look around you. You're standing in front of it!

National ID Card Need Not Curtail Liberty
An optional national identity card could enhance civil liberties, says law professor Alan M. Dershowitz, while providing better security against terrorism and identity theft. The tradeoff, however, would be less
privacy. For example, electronic tolltags allow drivers at many bridges, tunnels and toll roads to avoid long delays; the device sends a radio signal that records their
passage, and they are billed later. The drivers make a tradeoff between privacy and convenience: the toll-takers know more about you, but you save time and money.
With an optional national ID card, people could be allowed to pass through airports or building security more expeditiously, and anyone who opted out could be examined much more closely. This is not so different
from what we require today: -- Photo IDs are already required for many activities, including flying, driving, drinking and check-cashing,
and fingerprints differ from photographs only in that they are harder to fake. -- The vast majority of Americans routinely carry photo
IDs issued by state motor vehicle bureaus and other public and private entities. -- A national card would be uniform, difficult to forge
or alter, and it would reduce the likelihood that criminals or terrorists could get lost in the cracks of multiple bureaucracies.
-- The existence of a national card need not change the rules about when ID can properly be demanded by police or private parties.
Now that we know, or have been told by a "trustworthy" source of which way to go, perhaps we should explore the credibility of that source.

In aiding a racist, Alan Dershowitz shows his true colors of hypocrisy
Dershowitz, a law professor at Harvard University, used to be
very conscious of Jewish and minority rights in this country. Dershowitz brooked no tolerance for racism and anti-Semitism and used his legal skills to fight both.
Now as we saw during President Clinton's impeachment trial, Dershowitz is only willing to attack, as allegedly racist, those who represent the Republican Party. At the same time, he will actively --
when the CSPAN cameras are not rolling -- defend an open racist and anti-Semite like Matthew Hale. A 27-year-old graduate of the Southern Illinois
University Law School, Hale recently passed the state bar examination. However, an Illinois state panel that judges the character and fitness of prospective attorneys found Hale unworthy of its endorsement and
refused to grant Hale membership in the state bar.
Hale heads the World Church of the Creator, a white-supremacist
organization, dedicated to the principles that were defeated on the battlefields in Europe during World War II. According to his Web site and the New York Times, Hale believes Adolph Hitler got just one thing
wrong: He should have promoted the supremacy of all whites, not just Germans.
Hale's office has an Israeli flag as a doormat and
his wallpaper consists of swastikas. His
organization boasts 16 commandments, the third of
which states: "Remember that the inferior mud races
are our deadly enemies, and the most dangerous of
all is the Jewish race. It is our immediate
objective to relentlessly expand the White Race, and
keep shrinking our enemies."
Dershowitz should know better than to lend his Jewish
voice and professional skill to Hale's racist megaphone. The worst form of shame, we were taught by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, is having none. Dershowitz
should be ashamed of any affiliation with Hale whatsoever. The legal community and the Jewish community deserve at least that much.
It is no wonder that Dershowitz has lost the respect of many in the Jewish community. This is because there are few Jews who have not lost a
considerable part of their own lineage (including this author) in the Nazi concentration camps. For many of these people, Alan Dershowitz is nothing
more than a closet Nazi dressed in Jewish cloth, and rightfully so.
If we do now indeed stand at the fork in the road, with Ellison and Feinstein beckoning to us from one path, and our constitutional rights virtually
undefended on the other, where does this put Dershowitz? He's the one holding the megaphone of jurisprudence in his self-righteous hands.
Can we afford to listen to a man who has allowed his ego to betray his own people? Further, how can we hope to trust any of his reasoning when it
comes to sacrificing our hard earned constitutional rights?
Facing The Inevitable
There is the little-known secret to understanding
American history. If you know this secret it
will guarantee you the easiest "A" you'll ever get
in high school or college, and that little secret
is: Forget all of the patriotic notions as to why we
do what we do, always figure out who is making the
money and work everything backwards from that.
Ellison's constitutional Ponzi scheme for a National ID card is inevitable. This time it is Anthrax and the next time it will be something worse, such as
smallpox. When that happens, rational people, who under normal circumstances would never consider such a folly as this, will become so
afraid for their own security and the personal safety of their loved ones that they cave in.
This is why our only hope is not to say this could never happen, or that we will never allow this to happen. Future calamity combined with economic
forces makes this inevitable. Therefore what we must do right now is to address this issue in terms of making it a Constitutional amendment.
If we must have a National ID card program, then
let's tie the government's ability to abuse that
right directly to our very own Constitution.
No doubt that Senator Dianne Feinstein will try to
abolish this new amendment just as she has tried to
abolish the 2nd Amendment, but at least it would
slow her and like-minded power brokers if only for a
little while.
