Was this moron ever considered to be a brilliant legal mind? He is almost as demented as the original fucking moron. Do students still want to be in his law classes?

They were both Constitutional Law professors at Harvard for decades. I think Tribe is still there. Tribe must wonder what happened to his old colleague. Dershowitz has completely lost it and now talks like a hack lawyer who graduated at the bottom of his class.

One or two shows a week probably yields a good income. What troubles me is the utter incompetence, tendency to lie and hard bias of many of those the networks bring in. Leads me to believe they're in it just for the money and not to provide a competent opinion.

Seems as if they usually bring in one cool, competent person on one side of the fence (usually our side) and then the opposition person is intended to stir up a fight, so therefore is usually a hard-nosed radical.

Have we become a nation of nothing but sensationalism and entertainment?.......

about both Trump and Dershowitz being accused of rape by a minor during some secret party somewhere many, many years ago. It could be that 13 year old, who must be a grown woman now, who is trying to sue Trump in the last few years. There was a big mystery about it as I recall.

for her. I guess he felt the need to put that out there since his pariah status isn't working out so well for him.
