Liz Cheney creates ad attacking detainee lawyers
The former vice president's daughter has made an effort to target Eric Holder and the lawyers who have defended terrorist suspects. Even though these detainees could be guilty of horrible crimes, does this mean we should deny then the constitutional right of habeas corpus? Lawyers have chosen a difficult profession and they choose it knowing that they will have to give everyone under the American government equal rights to a fair trial. Liz Cheney is asking why Eric Holder is "hiding" the names of these lawyers when their names are actually available in public documents. She just needs to look for them since they aren't in list form. She is also questioning the patriotism of these lawyers. Unreal.
