ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Within the 60 years I’ve been educating and working towards legislation, I’ve by no means seen a choice that’s so anti-democratic and unconstitutional. It’s absurd. The concept that the 14th Modification was speculated to substitute for the impeachment provision rigorously drafted by the framers is fallacious. If you wish to impeach a president, if you wish to make him not be capable to run sooner or later, there’s a provision that requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate. If the concept that the framers of the 14th Modification supposed to avoid that rigorously drawn provision and easily permit any state to make up grounds for denying him the appropriate to be on the poll undercuts democracy.
The 14th Modification itself may be very clear. It says in Part V that “Congress shall have the ability to implement by acceptable laws the provisions of this text.” The Congress, the U.S. Congress. There isn’t any provision within the 14th Modification for any state or state court docket to intervene with the appropriate to vote of their residents. This can be a horrible resolution, it’ll trigger disarray. If it had been to be affirmed by the Supreme Courtroom, which I doubt it will likely be, it could trigger misery to the electoral course of and would end in a repeated 2020 the place no matter the results of the election was, significantly if Trump had been to lose, he wouldn’t settle for the loss, and he would have, on this case, some authorized foundation for questioning whether or not or not the courts had any correct function to play in taking him off the poll in some states…
We don’t even know what an revolt is! He hasn’t been charged with revolt, he hasn’t been convicted of revolt. Folks will say that Biden was concerned in an revolt in permitting hundreds of individuals to come back throughout the border, or the individuals who had been concerned within the Black Lives Matter demonstration, or the folks at this time who’re protesting within the streets all around the nation towards American coverage towards Israel. A few of these are socialist revolutionaries. It’s a must to have a definition of what an revolt is. And the Colorado Supreme Courtroom will get a C-minus.

Dershowitz could also be a Democrat, however he’s completely proper about this.
