In the face of ferocious partisan attacks, I will continue to do what I've been doing for 55 years: defending the Constitution and the rights of controversial people.
My constitutional analysis is based on a thorough study of the historical record and the compelling arguments made by Benjamin Curtis, who resigned in protest from the Supreme Court after dissenting from its notorious Dred Scott case, and then represented President Andrew Johnson at his impeachment trial. It has been labeled"bonkers,""absurdist,""nonsense,""legal claptrap" and worse.
I have received threats—one of which showed pictures of my relatives. Insulting emails, cursing me, are an hourly occurrence. Hate emails from anti-Semites are followed by emails from Jews who are"disappointed" in me for arguing on behalf of someone they regard as anti-Semitic. All because they don't like the president or anyone who is seen as helping him.
I have developed a thick skin over half a century of defending despised defendants, but even when I was on the O.J. Simpson defense team, it wasn't this nasty. But it's been difficult for my family members, despite the fact that some of them disapprove of what I'm doing.
