We believe that as members of the legal community, we have a unique responsibility to defend the Constitution and values on which our democracy depends.
We have authored numerous letters, briefs and statements concerning threats to our democracy and press the legal community to support and defend the Constitution.
Be a part of our efforts to demand accountability for those in our profession who do not live up to their oath and to their ethical obligations.
Numerous states have been implementing laws that undermine core principles of democracy. With these developments happening quickly – and often with little public awareness – LDAD set out to identify, catalogue, analyze, and publicize these efforts in five states. This is a foundational LDAD document that offers a touchstone for future activities.
Contrary to the foundational principles of constitutional democracy, the United States House of Representatives is seeking to impeach the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, over disagreements about immigration policy at the southern border. This effort is both unconstitutional and anti-constitutional.
If impeachment is allowed to be weaponized as a political instrument, the disturbing result would be to help enable authoritarianism in future presidents, and to prevent presidents who adhere to the Constitution from functioning.
