Alan Dershowitz infamously defended Donald Trump during the last impeachment trial by arguing that whatever the President did could not be wrongful because Trump believed that he was acting in the national interest when he engaged in corrupt acts to further his re-election.
Mr. Dershowitz is stepping forward, yet again, in the guise of a defender of the Constitution, to shelter Mr. Trump from a second attempt to impeach him. Mr. Trump disregarded truth, constitutional imperatives and democratic norms when he falsely claimed victory in an election he clearly lost and baselessly accused his opponent of rigging the vote. Mr. Trump lied repeatedly to inflame millions of his supporters and gave license to the most dangerous among them to attack legislators performing their duty in the halls of Congress.
Notwithstanding, the real threat to our Constitution, as Mr. Dershowitz sees it, is the attempt by Democrats to hold Donald Trump accountable. So, while democratic government teeters on the edge of tyranny, Mr. Dershowitz once again dons his armor as knight errant and rides to the rescue of Donald Trump.
