"Former friends of Alan Dershowitz are firing back after the renowned Harvard defense attorney whined in an op-ed that he was being socially shunned for defending President Donald Trump.
Dershowitz is a Democrat who financially supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Hes drawn fire for defending Trump in the media and espousing a libertarian-leaning view that there should be no special counsel investigating Trump.
Walter Teller, a well-known entertainment lawyer and longtime resident of Marthas Vineyard, sent a scathing group email to Derschowitz explaining exactly why hed been booted from the social club. An individual who received a forwarded version shared it with the press.
You thereby gave Trump an opportunity to use you and your positions in his own defense, to wave you like his pom-pom. How unfortunate for all of us, Teller wrote. You defended and gave cover to this president who relentlessly disrupts and destroys all that we value and causes massive and lasting damage to our political system, our courts, our standing in the world, the environment and more. In all of that you are complicit.
You proudly announce where you have dined and with whom, going so far as to send out pictures of the menu of your meal with Trump at the White House, he contiued. And then you complain publicly when you are not invited to dinner.

(82,849 posts)As if not getting invited to dinner with the swells is the latter day equivalent of losing your job and your livelihood, having to move to Europe to find work, and being unable to clear your name because nobody will tell you what you did or are doing that's so wrong. From some other astral plane, the shade of Carl Foreman exhales a wry, papery chuckle over Dershowitz's plight. And he's not the only one.

I love watching him argue with his students on the teevee.
Especially when they are right and he is wrong.
