>From a Jewish Encyclopaedia--
Between 1967 and 1986 Dershowitz represented clients in eleven cases in the U.S. Supreme Court. Some of his cases have attracted national attention, including those in which he represented Patricia Hearst, Claus von Bülow the trial lawyer, F. Lee Bailey, and Kenneth Tyson. Although stridently loyal to Jewish causes, he defended the constitutional right of the American Nazi party in 1977 to march in Skokie, Illinois, for he maintains that as a civil libertarian it was his duty to uphold the constitutional right of free speech, which includes the right to demonstrate peacefully. Dershowitz thinks of himself as a liberal in the tradition of John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. Although opposed to the philosophy and actions of the Jewish Defense League, he in 1972 successfully defended Sheldon Siegel, a member of the J.D.L., on a murder charge arising out of the blowing up of the offices of Sol Hurok to protest Hurok's sponsorship of Russian performers. Dershowitz succeeded at the trial of Siegel to expose the case as a police frame-up. Time magazine has called him, "the top lawyer of last resort in the country." He was on the defense team of the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial. Newsweek has described Dershowitz as "the nation's most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights."

Since when is Dershowitz a left liberal?
As for torture warrants, reminds me of the scene in Brazil where the storm troopers give the poor wife a receipt for the kidnap of her husband.
mbs
No only does Dershowitz suggest that there should be national ID cards but that torture might be in order too. Of course a torture warrant would be required! What is going on.... Have the terrorists released some sort of secret gas that addles the brains of at least some leftist liberals? Better hope we get an antidote soon...or we will all have to become libertarians....:)
