January 27, 2020 Senate defense [1:06:47] – Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz gave what may be the most persuasive case against impeaching President Donald Trump while in the well of the U.S. Senate on Monday evening.
Speaking as a representative of Trump’s defense team, the lifelong liberal Democrat urged senators to not “let the feelings about one man, strong as they may be, cause irreparable damage” to the fate of other presidents. “Passion and fears of the moment must not blind us,” he pleaded.
Giving a clinic on the history of impeachment in a matter-of-fact and understandable way, Dershowitz explained the derivation of the idea of impeachment and explained that it was to have been the breaking of a defined, limited law and not an amorphous and generalized idea of bad conduct.
“Dishonesty is a sin and not a crime,” he told the lawmakers.

Last thing Milady & I did last night was watch Prof. D’s classroom in the Senate. Pretty good stuff, I thought.
Can’t figure the cognitive dissonance involved in being such a great scholar of the Constitution and yet supporting enemies of that very document. Academics – no reality-testing needed.

I’ve had this uncomfortable feeling ever since he said he admired Bill and voted for Hillary. You put the cause eloquently. TY.
