Defending the Constitution: Alan Dershowitz`s Senate Argument Against Impeachment, Dershowitz Alan

In Defending the Constitution, Alan Dershowitz--New York Times bestselling author and one of Americas most respected legal scholars--makes an impassioned constitutional argument against the impeachment of President Donald Trump, just as he delivered it to the United States Senate.

Alan Dershowitz has been called one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America by Politico and the nations most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights by Newsweek. Yet he has come under intense criticism fire for applying those same principles, and his famed shoe-on-the-other-foot test, to Donald Trump, especially after arguing on the presidents behalf before the U.S. Senate as it deliberated impeachment.

Defending the Constitution seeks to refocus the debate over impeachment to the same standard that Dershowitz has upheld for decades: the law of the United States of America, as established by the Constitution. Citing legal examples from a long lineage of distinguished judges and attorneys, and examining the impeachment language in the Constitution itself, Dershowitz proves--first to the U.S. Senate, and now to readers everywhere--that President Trump should not have been impeached, and certainly should not be removed, for causes that do not meet the standards laid out by the founding fathers.
