  1. Would love to see Dershowitz make this argument at a gathering of Constitutional scholars – they would snap him into Dersh and owitz in a blink.

    1. The only “scholars” he will find in agreement are the right wing extremists and billionaire shills over at the Federalist Society.

    1. I mean if someone is paying a lawyer, it is their job to find a way to defend you. The fact that he is doing such a bad job of it is striking. Even more so is that republicans are buying right into the narrative without a second thought.

    2. a m p that tells us they reason from the sole of their feet. Hopefully, we will replace them in November with decent human beings.

  2. Alan claims he kept his underwear on & that nothing happened with the young underage girl. Do you believe him cause I don’t?

    1. @MY Thoughts Yeah because lying about smoking pot and lying about abusing children are on the same level. 🤦‍♂️

  3. Republicans love uneducated sheep. 😘

    “There was no quid pro quo.”

    “It doesn’t matter if there was a quid pro quo.”

    “He’s guilty but the President can do whatever he wants, in order to win an election. Anything!”

    1. Rabble Wolf you are 100% correct, Reps love uneducated sheep.
      What I would add to that is that Democrats also love uneducated sheep, I think you just made that apparent.
      Hopefully one day in the near future you wake up, realize that both parties are full of sh*t, realize that the media has become nothing more then propaganda, stop distancing yourself from reality and stop laboring under the delusion that your side is right while the other side is wrong because that is exactly what is destroying this nation, not these crooked politicians(that’s their job) is the everyday American like you and the rest of the brainwashed extremists. Why don’t you divert your time and efforts into unification, collaboration and unity, that is only if you consider yourself an American.

  4. Mr. Dershowitz, what does “She’s going to go through some things” mean? What does “Take her out” mean?

  5. Would love to see Dershowitz make this argument at a gathering of Constitutional scholars – they would snap him into Dersh and owitz in a blink.
