Perhaps the most hideous thing yet was last night, when Alan Dershowitz bleated that everyone should vote to acquit Trump, because part of the country would not accept his being removed from office. Gosh, Alan, where is your heart-felt concern for the much larger group of citizens who will not accept it if Trump is not convicted? Or are you saying that Trump's cult members are much more dangerous than the majority of citizens? That if the rule of law as defined by the Constitution holds, Trump's unhinged minions will react with violent criminal behaviors? Is that really an acceptable response to threats of violence?
I keep thinking about this crap coming out of the mouth of the expert lawyer representing Trump. It's as if Charlie Manson's lawyer told the jury they must find Charlie not guilty, because his family was threatening violence if there was a conviction. In that case, we'd know those were Charlie's words coming through his lawyer's mouth. Just like this was Trump speaking through Dershowitz's mouth.
