Dershowitz: SCOTUS could overturn a Trump impeachment

Of course, there's nothing in the Constitution that allows judicial review of impeachment proceedings. But is there any doubt that Crazy Al is giving an preview of 45's "nuclear option"...even if impeached and convicted, Trump will refuse to leave office and count on his appointees and their buddies on the Court to rip up the Constitution in order to keep him in power? And is there anyone who could stop them from doing so?

Personally, I was expecting that, should HRC win, Trump would have cried fraud and called upon congressional Republicans to refuse to certify the Electoral College result and have the House choose the president — which they would, frankly, have been likely to do.

And you wonder why you don't get invited to cocktail parties in the Hamptons? Please just go fuck yourself instead of felating Trump.

7. Could it just be that Dershowitz is an undeclared member of Trump's legal team?

Call me not paranoid and rational, but I just assume the loudest voices spouting crazy are his surrogates.

He just keeps digging deeper and going down more rabbit holes to find ways for this slippery gelatinous slob to get away with everything.

If his lawyers hadn't thought of it, this dipshit just put that idea in their heads to put in motion.
