Real Patriots Defend The Constitution Assessing the Impact of Post-9/11 Anti-Terror Legislation GNN: Hey Riva. Why don.t we start by asking you what your name is, where we are right now. and what organization you.re from. Riva Enteen: I.m Riva Enteen. I.m the Program Director with the National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area Chapter. We.re the largest chapter in the country and this is our building, which we share with the Tenants Union in the mission in San Francisco. GNN: Great. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about the history of the organization. like, how and why it got started and what was the need for the organization at that time. Riva: Sure. We have a proud history. We formed in 1937 because then- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt asked progressive attorneys to come together to defend the .New Deal. which was under attack in the courts. So we formed at his request to defend the .New Deal.. Secondly, the American Bar Association was, at that time, segregated, so we were the first racially integrated bar. And that was our founding in 1937. And we.ve been through the periods from the labor struggles, civil rights, Japanese internment, McCarthy period, anti-war, and now this incredible period of repression that, frankly, our elder members say is unprecedented. <SNIP - it's worth a read, the snips above don't do it justice> ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :NSA got $20Bil/year |Passwords are like underwear.
