Alan Dershowitz: Presidents cannot be impeached (for quid pro quo) if they believe their reelection is in the country's best interest
- Thread starter Sho_Nuff82
- Start date
It doesn't even feel like a joke anymore to say that if Trump gets a second term, there's going to be a third and a fourth, followed by a "first term for life" for Ivanka followed by one for Barron once traditional family monarchial bloodlines are passed by Senate and the Supreme Court.
Really makes one wonder if Trump didn't make good on his "lock her up" promises after the election merely because he and his core group of henchmen didn't yet know what they could get away with...
Maybe he's saving that for his second term. They know better now, and they know if they secure a second term, that's basically Carte Blanche to start the 1000 Year MAGA Reich.
That's the thing, it didn't. Back then the Republican Party still had some membership who put nation above party and Nixon resigned because he would have been impeached and removed.
Fast-forward to today and we have a president who is demonstrably more corrupt than Nixon ever was and who has engaged in crime after crime yet getting even a handful of GOP dissenters to side with the Democrats is nearly impossible.
Ralph Nader once spoke of the de-evolution of the GOP and how what was coming down the line would make presidents like Reagan and Bush Sr. look damn-near tame by comparison.
And to think that once upon a time he was considered as one of the brightest legal minds in US history.
Sad part is, it is still the most likely outcome that the GOP ends up saying this sort of thing is the new normal by "acquitting". Even though they all admit he did it, but again, they move the goal post constantly.
It's not hyperbolic to state that there will be a war in this nation before that happens.
W took over a thousand days worth of vacation over his 8 years.
Honestly not so sure about that anymore. Protests, yes. But a war? Not until the economy goes to shit and the majority are suffering. Otherwise they'll shake their heads and move on. It is what it is.
I just had a brain meltdown reading some of the responses to this tweet. One person with a Dharia (sp?) avatar was making some of the stupidest arguments I'd ever read. I actually started typing a response and ... just realized how pointless it was.
Too many people would probably flee with their families before that scenario could occur.
Thats a metric fuckton. But i guess the question was 365 days straight of vacation.
It really is amazing how many people have essentially destroyed their reputations in perpetuity for Donald Fucking Trump.
As long as he hated and persecuted minorities, Republicans would happily welcome Attila the Hun as their leader/Messiah.
Just so we're clear...what is the exact amount of crimes you're allowed to commit in pursuit of re-election if you believe it in the people's best interest? I mean, surely you can't have someone murdered, so there's gotta be a line somewhere. I want Dershowitz to explain where exactly that line is.
I'm sure they'd huff and puff at the insinuation, and "I don't engage in hypotheticals," etc.
It would behoove people to not yell "HOW HIGH?" when he says "Jump!" in this situation. It's what he NEEDS.
Cuz when you drop your demands of represenative democracy (as the unalienable rights would bequeath to you), to their demands of getting off scot-free via the destruction of the county, you enshrine the latter as The Reality and destroy the former's time as The Reality.
That's what propagandists DO. They do psy ops, threaten, decieve, cheat. Call it and fight.
Because he wants to be dictator and mob boss, and ACTUAL dictators and mob bosses need him to skate. Too bad they got Epstein's lawyers, $25k Get Out Of Fraud Fee AG, and some low-energy Lionel Hutz-looking mofo out there cuz that's all they could get to come/blackmail.
Never saw that quote before. Figures he was ambulance chasing with no shame defending the worst of society without shame back then too.

Sir, clearly nuking Stockholm wasn't in the public interest.
But I believed it was. And I have a very good brain. Next question.
"I believe it is in the national interest to saw off Florida into the gulf"
The fact that I even have to ask should speak volumes, but...is this real?
From the article in question:
So let me get this right. They wanted to throw this whole thing out because they claimed it was not enough to impeach a president over and it would set a dangerous precedent for future presidents being able to be removed for small issues no matter the political party, now they are all "presidents can do whatever the hell they want if they want to be re-elected!"
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Until another President wears a salmon pink suit. Or salutes a soldier with only an index finger. Or is a visible minority, female and gay. In which case Rule of Law will be the order of day, and Republicans will scream, "WE KNOW WE SAID THE PRESIDENT CAN DO ANYTHING, BUT THERE ARE LAWS, AND NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THEM!"
Then the goalposts will shift right back, and Trump supporters will claim they've always respected rule of law, and delete their Trump administration posts claiming rule of law is a liberal conspiracy.
I was almost impressed by the ballsiness of this insanity. If anything I now want to read up on Dershowitz and see what other crazy bullshit is in his past.
Bunch of idiot repubs and cons.
They'll do and say anything dangerous and treasonous to stay in power.
They need to be categorized as an illegal organization like post-WWII Germany did to the Nazis.
