American politics in the era of President Donald Trump is a
polarised, partisan arena. But still there are pillars of the US
system of governance such as the constitution and the courts that
are supposed to safeguard the liberty of all, irrespective of
creed, colour or politics. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to

Union - the century-old guardian of citizen rights. Has the ACLU
betrayed its mission by putting partisanship before principle in
the age of Trump?
