Just as the first casualty of war is truth, so too, the first casualty of hyperpartisan politics is civil liberties.
Many traditional civil libertarians have allowed their strong anti-Trump sentiments to erase their long-standing commitment to neutral civil liberties.
Today, fair-weather civil libertarians are unwilling to give President Trump, who they regard as the devil, the "Benefit of law" and civil liberties.
Recently, Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge and civil libertarian, rushed to Mueller's defense in a New York Times opinion column.
All civil libertarians should want the truth about this sordid episode - and Mueller's possible role - regardless of its impact, if any, on the Trump investigation.
For too many former civil libertarians the hope of getting Trump trumps civil liberties.
I am a liberal who voted against Trump but who insists that his civil liberties must be respected, for all of our sakes.
