Even President Trump is entitled to Civil and Constitutional rights protection and preservation.

Last week represents a dark day in United States Judiciary.The fact that any section of the judiciary or law enforcement can find it lawful to enter an attorney's office and remove information relating to this attorney's client without knowledge of a pending crime or an imminent action that is against laws is very concerning.

 As civil rights advocates, we cannot afford to water down provisions regarding civil and constitutional rights protection and preservation. If we allow institutions to self determine when rights are to be afforded to citizen, we stand the risk of uncertainties relating to laws and procedures for one of the most vital protections afforded Americans by means of the Constitution. Attorney Client privilege protects every day Americans from the threat of relaying private information to their attorneys only for the attorney to be forced or raided in order for law enforcement to obtain the information forcefully.

 The process is no different from a church member confiding in his or her priest or pastor only for law enforcement to compel release of the information.
The right to require an attorney not to disclose confidential communication made to his or her attorney refered to as attorney client relationship has been established in many American courts. See U.S v. United Shoe Mach. Corp, D. Mass., 89 F. Supp.357. Also attorney client privilege cited as Livingston v. Allis_Chalmers Corp., D.C. Miss., 109 F.R.D. 546,550. Fed. Evid.

 Rule 501. Civil Rights advocates and institutions have to safe guard Civil Rights for all Americans, regardless of whether the defense is unpopular or the party is controversial.

Today its President Trump, tomorrow its Jack the painter. We simply cannot allow civil and Constitutional rights to be interfered with by any person, institution or association. Justice denied to anyone represents justice denied to everyone. We have all heard, seen or experienced ill effects of Constitutional and Civil rights violations. We have to be very careful of procedures necessary to stop a runaway train once it has left the station. Jules Williams familyactivist@gmail.com
