One of the few times I AM in agreement with Dershowitz..
while I usually find the arguments put forth by Dershowitz deplorable, I give him high marks on this one. His points are well presented and backed up by both common sense and historical precedent. The 14th ammendment was put in place specifically to prevent former confederates from taking ofice in congress after the civil war. Calling Jan 6 and insurrection is not even close. And the ammendment specifcally calls for the power to prevent insurrectionists from taking office to Congress, not the courts. And according to Dershowits, does not apply to the office of the president. The impeachmnet proceess is well suited to that task and requires 2/3 vote in congress etc... not a group of partisan judges moving to disempower millions of voters. Allowing a panel of judges to defne "an insurrection" is a slippery slope..
This is a short video, and well worth the time. And I specifically request all my lefty friends to listen, because these kinds of moves by Colorado are themselves a threat to democracy. How much sense does it make to support the destruction of Trump by any means necessary because you see him as a threat to deomcracy, by taking actions that themselves are a threat to democracy? If you care about preserving the rule of law and the consitution, you must support Trumps right to run for president in 2024. You have to support his free speech, his right to run a business, etc... Freedom either applies equally across the board for everyone or it doesn't exist. Going after Trump by crossing the constitution is very short sighted and dangerous.
