Dershowitz has made intense study of the relevant cases and history since then and arrived at a different conclusion. He didn't simply blow in the wind and change 180 degrees from 1998 like Pelosi and Nadler. Remember, too, that Dershowitz is not a conservative or Trump partisan. He has no skin in the game and, in fact, has been castigated by the MSM as expected. That makes his presentation all the more powerful.
Yeah, I'm sure it was mere coincidence that both times he sided against the Democrats. As far as the argument itself, the vast majority of legal experts do not support it.
He actually said himself that he's not implying that the Senate is not "legally bound" to the arguments that impeachment requires a crime.
Now, I’m not here arguing that the current distinguished members of the Senate are in any way bound, legally bound, by Justice Curtis’s arguments or those of Dean Dwight. But I am arguing that you should give them serious consideration...
So what is he saying? He's saying that the Constitution should require a crime, not that it does. So he spent all this time just giving us his desires, not what the Constitution requires.
Dersh, take some time off, write a Constitutional Amendment, get it passed and ratified, then talk to us because then you'll be relevant. You aren't now.
