Synopsis

“Maybe the question isn’t what happened to Alan Dershowitz. Maybe it’s what happened to everyone else.”—PoliticoAlan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek. Yet he has come under partisan fire for applying those same principles to Donald Trump during the course of his many appearances in national media outlets as an expert resource on civil and constitutional law. The Case Against Impeaching Trump seeks to reorient the debate over impeachment to the same standard that Dershowitz has continued to uphold for decades: the law of the United States of America, as established by the Constitution. In the author’s own words:“In the fervor to impeach President Trump, his political enemies have ignored the text of the Constitution. As a civil libertarian who voted against Trump, I remind those who would impeach him not to run roughshod over a document that has protected us all for two and a quarter centuries. In this case against impeachment, I make arguments similar to those I made against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton (and that I would be making had Hillary Clinton been elected and Republicans were seeking to impeach her). Impeachment and removal of a president are not entirely political decisions by Congress. Every member takes an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution sets out specific substantive criteria that MUST be met. I am thrilled to contribute to this important debate and especially that my book will be so quickly available to readers so they can make up their own minds.”

Goodreads review by Gregory on August 01, 2018

Let me preface this by saying that I am definitely not a Trump fan, and I'm very much looking forward to the day where he is no longer my president. Nonetheless, this book definitely changed my opinion of current events. It didn't necessarily move me towards being in favor of President Trump, but de......more

Goodreads review by Roger John Jones on July 26, 2018

Leave out Trump At the end of Chapter 1 Mr. Dershowitz introduces the concept of the Rawlsian Veil from "Justice as Fairness" by John Rawls (1985.) Conceptually Rawls argues that one should take into account nothing about the individual accused but only the crime and the evidence of that crime. With......more

Goodreads review by Chris on August 11, 2018

I wanted a thought-provoking case against the prevailing wisdom of the day and instead spent hours listening to a self-satisfied screed from an author with a major chip on his shoulder. Little time is spent addressing the actual arguments for impeaching this specific president. Instead, we get a pro......more
