The absolute worst decision EVER by SCOTUS was Kelo Vs City of New London which allowed government to take private property and give it to a corporation if corporation can increase the tax revenue of said property.
You are correct. I also consider that one of the worst. The Court changed the words "for public use" into "for a public purpose", and that now means anyone can have their property taken just because the city wants someone else to have it and increase the property taxes paid on it.

@@michaelgibbons2556 ok einstien, how many rioters were charged with insurrection ???? would you got to a REAL overthrow with a bullhorn and a flag ????
So....let me get this right, burning down police stations and neighborhoods, hurting and killing people is NOT an insurrection or a crime, but having your cell phone and a cardboard sign at the capital, while being allowed into the capital building, is an insurrection WORSE than the Civil War?
Burning down buildings by itself is not an insurrection, but it is a crime. Having a cardboard sign and your cell phone at the Capitol building is not an insurrection. Using that cardboard sign to attack people at the Capitol is a crime. People are claiming they were allowed into the building forgetting all the violence and tearing down barriers on the way to the doors; of fact that they attacked police who were trying to keep them out; of the windows that were broken to gain entrance; of the offices that were broken into; of the vandalism that the insurrectionists perpetrated; and most importantly of the official proceedings that were interrupted as Congress and the VP fled for their lives. This was an attack on our country!

@omniproductions8471 - If you are referring to Trump, first time 2016 he lost the popular vote, but won the office based on Electoral college. The 2nd time (2020) he lost both the popular vote (by almost 10 million), as well as the electoral college. So no we aren't going to agree that Trump won both times because the objective facts don't support your personal beliefs. I hope that's clear now.
The same is also true with scientists and medical doctors, as we particularly learned during the COVID tyranny. We must always be free to examine evidence and make decisions for ourselves.
Exactly. Everything supreme ends up getting away with everything because they can act with impunity having no higher court to challenge them and they are not going to challenge themselves....well even if they did....it is like the police investigating the police...anything may come out of that. Besides candidates are not selected for their personal values....
Here's some questions I'd like answered, The DC Police requested additional support 17 requests in 78 minutes, who refused those requests? Trump offered National Guard to help Police the area, who turned that down? Why barricades were removed and the crowd ushered towards the Capital Building? How many Federal Agents where in the crowd and what intel and operational plans did the FBI have? Why was a side door opened to allow protestors into the building and a DC Police Officer said "I may not agree with this but I respect your right" when that door was secure? This is why Trump will never get indicted for Insurrection because it will expose Democrats as either compliant in their lack of action or incompetent and will expose the FBI having Agents and agitators in the crowd and that it was a false flag operation exonerating Trump on this insurrection charge.
So you want every question to be decided by the entire voting population of the United States? Are you willing to in hear all the evidence for and against Trump or have you already made up your mind?
The secretary of state of Maine has decided that Trump is disqualified from the primary ballot because a the Supreme Court of Colorado decided he has committed " insurrection" but without a jury conviction. So Trump has been denied a jury trial but that doesn't matter to these insane Democrats BTW there is a beautiful picture of the Secretary of State of Maine standing very to Biden ( just the two of them ) Biden has one of his hands on her shoulder and he has her hand clasped tightly to hers in a palm to palm grip Still this woman didn't think this should a reason to recuse herself from this decision, which was hers alone
The background is too embarrassing, and that's why is being ignored. They know it is stupid to say that if engaged in insurrection, only Congressman and Senators will be disqualified to run for office. But the president and vice president can engage in insurrection, and still can for office...LOL
Good question. My anger is a little high, so please bear with me on this. MY UNDERSTANDING (so it's kinda weak) is that, because this judge in Maine believes MSNPC when they say, "Orange Man Led Insurrection to Overthrow US Government," he's not entitled to run for President of the United States based on the Insurrection clause of the fourteenth amendment. Problem is he's not been convicted and we are supposed to live in a country where someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his/her peers. The Bush v. Gore case was with regard to the 2000 election, where in four districts in Florida (of eleven, if memory serves), Pro-Gore vote counters went through the punch cards to ascertain what they THOUGHT the person was saying with their vote. This meant that in four districts, a subjective analysis of the official vote card was used while in the other seven (again, my memory; this was nearly a quarter of a century ago) a different standard of analysis was used. The Bush legal team won before SCOTUS based on the two different standards of analysis was a violation of the fifteenth amendment (or maybe fourteenth amendment) granting a completely *equal* (emphasis important) vote to every man (at the time; amended later to rightly include women).
The $upreme Court is supposed to decide on principle, but it's always been political, which is why we had to beat back FDR's attempt to pack it with Democrats who'd follow his orders.
So it is ok to pack the court with federalists who will follow Trump’s orders. But I agree that SCOTUS should decide based on law and the constitution.
LOL, trump is not pursued because of name nor party. If he had been exactly the same person, but ran as a democrat, NONE of these republicans would be defending him, and he would already be in prison.
Let us be very clear here. Trump is not been convicted on name alone. Trump is going to go to prison after he's convicted for the crimes he committed Just because you won't admit he's guilty of crimes doesn't mean the real Americans don't know he's guilty, have not seen the crimes he committed, and don't want him held accountable.
It’s called corruption. How do you think unconstitutional drug prohibition laws have been on the books for over half a century when we already have the Supreme Court decision on the repeal of alcohol prohibition. It clearly states that they repealed prohibition because the federal government lacks the authority granted by the constitution to ban things because they get you intoxicated.
Its time to reassess our governments ability to make rational decisions for the people not; themselves, major cooperation's, elites and Foreign parties/entities!
If you don’t like a provision in the Constitution in this situation you are basically saying that the Constitution should be disregarded because in your personal belief the voters should decide ? Like it or not, we have in place an Amendment to the Constitution that bans Insurrectionists from taking office. The only legitimate question is what form of Court proceeding should used to determine whether Trump committed insurrection.
He hasn't had a trial, but the Colorado AG has convicted him and is desperately trying to remove him from the ballot. Maine is also swirling down the same toilet. That's not justice.
Yes, peacefully protest the completely legal election that I just lost. Do you not see that total corruption and illegality in that? He lost the election and knew it. He is a liar.
No those words are not, but those words are not the issue. He was excited about the violence he incited and he knew that his words were welcoming those wanting to kill Mike Pence, and he did nothing to stop it. Only 3 hours later did he say anything to defuse, but now he lies and pretends that he tried to defuse hours earlier.
You are misinformed. Trump has been indicted for 91 criminal charges in four different jurisdictions.!!! In addition, he has already been convicted of sexual assault and has to pay at least $10,000,000, with the possibility of much bigger punitive damages in the next trial.
Let’s clarify something. According to every liberal Florida newspaper (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tallahassee, Tampa, Orlando), at no point did any vote recount have Al Gore winning FL in 2000.
Let's also remember, The League of Women Voters was caught, on camera, stuffing ballot boxes with ballot's that had no other election vote than Al Gore for President. This was the "hanging chad". Those ballot's were punched with a paper punch. They were still counted, which led to that whole farce in the first place.
But at the same time, there were so many irregularities in the voting process. We heard daily of something new. SCOTUS actually stopped the last recount.
The 2000 Florida votes were meticulously recounted AFTER Bush was inaugurated and deemed that he truly had WON so I disagree with Dershowitz on this one.
You are isolating "judging someone guilty" before due process. Could he have done it? Sure. Do you KNOW he did it? No. Then why are you trying to punish someone that hasn't been found of wrong doing? These democrats bro I swear...
I wouldn't go that far. There is a breed of older Democrats who use the word liberal to mean that they support the Constitutional freedoms - freedom of speech, religion, assembly, etc. RFK Jr. is another one. Our job is to open the eyes of those Democrats and help them see how illiberal and corrupt their party has become. Wouldn't having the Democrat Party reformed from within be preferable to having to run against the corrupt party they are now for the indefinite future?
Was the composition of the Supreme Court justices in 2000 the same as it is today? Did the SCOTUS in 2000 include, for instance, a justice who is so out-of-touch that he/she doesn't even know what a woman is?
The supreme Court had to step in and Bush versus Gore because there was more than three recounts and the people couldn't decide and it kept going to court and finally the supreme Court had to say enough. Now while some may find that controversial one could truly speculate that we'd still be in court to this day because the Dems couldn't figure out what a hanging chad was.
Not quite. Close but not quite. The Sec of State for FL called the election in accordance with FL election law when time ran out. Despite numerous recounts Gore never had more votes counted than Bush. Gore appealed FL calling the election because he wanted more recounts. SCOTUS ruled for FL because Article 2 of the Constitution allows states to make election laws and the FL Sec of State was following the law in FL. By the way that election law in FL was put on the books by the DEMs.

Why would you criticize our supreme court who ruled that corporations are people, and money is free speech? In my view the court is illegitimate with several conservative justices who should have been liberal, but the president at the time was not allowed to choose them.

Don’t you want to get this question answered before voting starts so that the Republicans have a valid choice. Or do you want it decided after the primary vote is already decided?
But it's weird as you are going against the veto system. If people voted for Biden then a group of people decides that it is not valid and threatens through an insurrection it is scary as then it means you don't care about the votes.
If Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is "self-executing," without the need for a conviction, does that not constitute a bill of attainder prohibited by the Constitution? Article I, Section 9, Clause 3: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. “Bills of attainder . . . are such special acts of the legislature, as inflict capital punishments upon persons supposed to be guilty of high offences, such as treason and felony, without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. If an act inflicts a milder degree of punishment than death, it is called a bill of pains and penalties. . . . In such cases, the legislature assumes judicial magistracy, pronouncing upon the guilt of the party without any of the common forms and guards of trial, and satisfying itself with proofs, when such proofs are within its reach, whether they are conformable to the rules of evidence, or not. In short, in all such cases, the legislature exercises the highest power of sovereignty, and what may be properly deemed an irresponsible despotic discretion, being governed solely by what it deems political necessity or expediency, and too often under the influence of unreasonable fears, or unfounded suspicions.” --Cornell University of Law Is this not what we are currently seeing being brought to bear against Trump?

He's not talking about LITERALLY putting Trump's guilt or innocence up for a public vote. As much as I wish it could be true that Americans wouldn't vote a known criminal into office, sadly, the voters of DC elected Berry back into the mayor's office after he served time for smoking crack (as mayor). I still can't believe that DC voters thought he was their best option. But just look at the effort the DA's are putting into creating the President Trump circus. How can that not get a lot of Democrat voters' attention that something is off?
@@rosc2022 - Well, Barry was prosecuted right?. What is your problem with Trump been prosecuted?. Both committed crimes. You seem to be against that. Is a world of contradictions if a person is a felon he cannot vote, some say that once you become a criminal regardless of paying back you should not be able to vote, but an indicted or even convicted Trump should be able to not just vote but run for the presidency. Can you see how stupid we look to the world?. 14.3 doesn't say anything about past crimes except for been an insurrectionist that was/is a public official and swore an oath. Because Trump attempted to stop the legal transfer of power ordered by the Constitution he is an insurrectionist. On Jan. 20, 2017 he became a public official and swore an oath. So 14.3 applies. And just to be clear 14.3 doesn't requires a conviction it only needs participation or supporting. And for the moving of the goal post been made by stating that a conviction is required, well, it is not. Ex-Rep. George Santos was just removed from Congress without a conviction. He was removed because there is evidence that he violated his oath and or the ethics/conduct of his office. He has trials scheduled this year just like Trump and George Santos was an elected sitting Representative and he was expelled again without a criminal trial or conviction but just on the available evidence. With Trump there is already plenty of evidence.
However, with money buying judges and not even an ethics base line present and no other agency recognized with oversight, that would be a very toxic and unsanitary attitude. We have the proof that morality alone cannot keep this judges's hands out of the cookie jar. ANY judge should refrain very far from widely recognized acts of bribery or blackmail. The Supreme Court should never be in any situation even remotely suggesting possible corruption. WITH EXTRAORDINARY POWERS COMES EXTRAORDINARY RESPONSIBILITIES Likewise policemen should be held to a much higher standard. Police immunity is no longer justified, seen the overwhelming cases of police abuse and the continued police brutality that so typically starts with a traffic violation and ends up with a handcuffed person dead, after being assaulted by several cops, eager and trained and equipped to kill. A case like Tyre Nichols could only happen if there is a general attitude that cops can get away with murder, rather than will be held to a higher standard of accountability. It is absurd to see criminals roam free and innocent people targeted for murder by police. This is what happens when there is lack of oversight and lack of enforcement of "code". If the public does not trust the police, we have a problem. Besides Superior Judges are not selected for their integrity, but for their non-integrity, willing to bend towards a political agenda. So unless we do stand with impunity and not with impartiality or integrity of judges.....well if that is the case, then let's put a sign in front of the Superior Court, that this is what it is, without pretense. The sign could read: "Impunity, neither Integrity nor Impartiality", preferable in Latin. If the public does not trust the judges, we have a problem. In either case of police or judges, we are talking about public servants, paid by tax payers money. So if these entities become self-serving, we have a serious problem. Inaction is not justified. Suggestion that the public should not protest is inherently undemocratic. We need these entities to be widely respected to have a practical balance of powers. If not, an insurrection would be a much desired solution.
The most important thing to remember. or learn, is that many representatives of the southern states actually voted in favor of succession or insurrection. It didn’t require a conviction because they had, by their own signature or affidavit, admitted to it. Trump never advocated anything other than using the constitution itself to dispute a questionable result.

This is simply another attempt by the corrupt Democrats to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election which they know they cannot win against Trump. Those who brought these charges should be arrested, charged and imprisoned. SCOTUS should dismiss this charge and order all states to leave Trump on the ballot. THIS IS WHAT WE THE PEOPLE WANT AND THEY ARE IN PLACE TO SERVE US...NOT THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT PARTY.
I have to disagree with him. They are guidelines and requirements to hold the office of the President. That is clearly written in the Constitution. You have to be at least 35 years of age and you have to be a natural born citizen. And according to the 14th amendment section three there is another Qualifying requirement. Now the real question is did did trump violate this requirement. How can you be taken away? A person right to choose when the person you want To choose is not eligible in the first place. This will be determined by the supreme court.

In Bush v Gore SCOTUS was ruling on legislated recount procedures, not unconstitutionally inserting itself into resolving a disputed election. At the time Bush v Gore was addressed by SCOTUS the FL election ballots hadn't even been counted yet so there wasn't yet a disputed election to begin with.
Bush v. Gore was a good decision. Dershowitz is biased. Here's the problem with Gore's position.

When talking about “corporate personhood” I agree in applying the Plutocracy Rationale, the Absurdity Rationale, and the Distinctiveness Rationale. I agree with the logic that it’s nonsensical, illegitimate, and must be eliminated. I believe all 3, P+A+D present logical reasons for its illegitimacy. The Constitution says, We The People not We The Corporations. Benito Mussolini was quoted as saying, “Fascism should more importantly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” It is “corporatist collectivism” that was first introduced in 1913 with the introduction of the Revenue Act and the Federal Reserve Act enacted by President Woodrow Wilson. I agree that ‘ treating corporations the same as we do humans, we dilute the political and moral value of our own humanity.’ [Corporations can be legitimate holders of constitutional rights, and, importantly, nothing in the doctrine of corporate personhood requires that corporations be granted the same complement of rights as humans.]. ‘The extension of rights to corporations is easily taken too far.’ This I also agree with.

The following is what the Supreme Court in Utah said and in 1968 about The U.S. Supreme Court. > The United States Supreme Court, as at present constituted, has departed from the Constitution as it has been interpreted from its inception and has followed the urgings of social reformers in foisting upon this Nation laws which even Congress could not constitutionally pass. It has amended the Constitution in a manner unknown to the document itself. While it takes three fourths of the states of the Union to change the Constitution legally, yet as few as five men who have never been elected to office can by judicial fiat accomplish a change just as radical as could three fourths of the states of this Nation. As a result of the recent holdings of that Court, the sovereignty of the states is practically abolished, and the erst while free and independent states are now in effect and purpose merely closely supervised units in the federal system. < Dyett v.

My only comment is that there shouldn't be a discussion about so many "democratic" justices voted one way and so many "republican" justices voted another way. It implies that they, the justices, are only "voting" based on their politics. Justices should be known for how they defend our rights enshrined in our Constitution. Truly sad if one party is against Constitutional rights and one is for them...

A good decision on election uncertainty is to order a new election. Electing politicians regardless of office is NEVER urgent. If the repeating elections took six months that saves voters from bad political decisions and wasting money paying them. Only politicians believe they are important and essential. If a politician appeals to voters they will win on the first round otherwise give the voters ample opportunity to make a decision backed by the majority.
Well there was no election uncertainty with the 2020 election. Trump tried to stir election uncertainty amongst his sycophantic followers but the facts did not support a claim of uncertainty therefore the claim is dismissed

So....let me get this right, burning down police stations and neighborhoods, hurting and killing people is NOT an insurrection or a crime, but having your cell phone and a cardboard sign at the capital, while being allowed into the capital building, is an insurrection WORSE than the Civil War?
Burning down buildings by itself is not an insurrection, but it is a crime. Having a cardboard sign and your cell phone at the Capitol building is not an insurrection. Using that cardboard sign to attack people at the Capitol is a crime. People are claiming they were allowed into the building forgetting all the violence and tearing down barriers on the way to the doors; of fact that they attacked police who were trying to keep them out; of the windows that were broken to gain entrance; of the offices that were broken into; of the vandalism that the insurrectionists perpetrated; and most importantly of the official proceedings that were interrupted as Congress and the VP fled for their lives.

Here's some questions I'd like answered,
The DC Police requested additional support 17 requests in 78 minutes, who refused those requests?
Trump offered National Guard to help Police the area, who turned that down?
Why barricades were removed and the crowd ushered towards the Capital Building?
How many Federal Agents where in the crowd and what intel and operational plans did the FBI have?
Why was a side door opened to allow protestors into the building and a DC Police Officer said "I may not agree with this but I respect your right" when that door was secure?
This is why Trump will never get indicted for Insurrection because it will expose Democrats as either compliant in their lack of action or incompetent and will expose the FBI having Agents and agitators in the crowd and that it was a false flag operation exonerating Trump on this insurrection charge.

It would be nice to have a little background on what the hell they are talking about. What decision?
The secretary of state of Maine has decided that Trump is disqualified from the primary ballot because a the Supreme Court of Colorado decided he has committed " insurrection" but without a jury conviction.
So Trump has been denied a jury trial but that doesn't matter to these insane Democrats
BTW there is a beautiful picture of the Secretary of State of Maine standing very to Biden ( just the two of them )
Biden has one of his hands on her shoulder and he has her hand clasped tightly to hers in a palm to palm grip

They are discussing the Trump ballot Maine case, but he is saying the bush gore case was the worst ever… Dershowitz is on the Epstein list
@@TheFrogfeeder and Trump flew repeatedly on Epstein's Jet.
The background is too embarrassing, and that's why is being ignored. They know it is stupid to say that if engaged in insurrection, only Congressman and Senators will be disqualified to run for office. But the president and vice president can engage in insurrection, and still can for office...LOL
Good question. My anger is a little high, so please bear with me on this.
MY UNDERSTANDING (so it's kinda weak) is that, because this judge in Maine believes MSNPC when they say, "Orange Man Led Insurrection to Overthrow US Government," he's not entitled to run for President of the United States based on the Insurrection clause of the fourteenth amendment.
Problem is he's not been convicted and we are supposed to live in a country where someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his/her peers.
The Bush v. Gore case was with regard to the 2000 election, where in four districts in Florida (of eleven, if memory serves), Pro-Gore vote counters went through the punch cards to ascertain what they THOUGHT the person was saying with their vote. This meant that in four districts, a subjective analysis of the official vote card was used while in the other seven (again, my memory; this was nearly a quarter of a century ago) a different standard of analysis was used. The Bush legal team won before SCOTUS based on the two different standards of analysis was a violation of the fifteenth amendment (or maybe fourteenth amendment) granting a completely *equal* (emphasis important) vote to every man (at the time; amended later to rightly include women).

How do you think unconstitutional drug prohibition laws have been on the books for over half a century when we already have the Supreme Court decision on the repeal of alcohol prohibition.

Like it or not, we have in place an Amendment to the Constitution that bans Insurrectionists from taking office. The only legitimate question is what form of Court proceeding should used to determine whether Trump committed insurrection.
He hasn't had a trial, but the Colorado AG has convicted him and is desperately trying to remove him from the ballot. Maine is also swirling down the same toilet. That's not justice.
Trump said, “You have the right to PEACEFULLY protest.” HOW IS THAT AN INSURRECTION?

Let’s clarify something. According to every liberal Florida newspaper (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tallahassee, Tampa, Orlando), at no point did any vote recount have Al Gore winning FL in 2000.
It never changes when you recount the same corrupt votes. Duh
Let's also remember, The League of Women Voters was caught, on camera, stuffing ballot boxes with ballot's that had no other election vote than Al Gore for President. This was the "hanging chad". Those ballot's were punched with a paper punch. They were still counted, which led to that whole farce in the first place.

“Bills of attainder . . . are such special acts of the legislature, as inflict capital punishments upon persons supposed to be guilty of high offences, such as treason and felony, without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. If an act inflicts a milder degree of punishment than death, it is called a bill of pains and penalties. . . . In such cases, the legislature assumes judicial magistracy, pronouncing upon the guilt of the party without any of the common forms and guards of trial, and satisfying itself with proofs, when such proofs are within its reach, whether they are conformable to the rules of evidence, or not. In short, in all such cases, the legislature exercises the highest power of sovereignty, and what may be properly deemed an irresponsible despotic discretion, being governed solely by what it deems political necessity or expediency, and too often under the influence of unreasonable fears, or unfounded suspicions.”

Can you see how stupid we look to the world?. 14.3 doesn't say anything about past crimes except for been an insurrectionist that was/is a public official and swore an oath. Because Trump attempted to stop the legal transfer of power ordered by the Constitution he is an insurrectionist.
On Jan. 20, 2017 he became a public official and swore an oath. So 14.3 applies. And just to be clear 14.3 doesn't requires a conviction it only needs participation or supporting.
And for the moving of the goal post been made by stating that a conviction is required, well, it is not. Ex-Rep. George Santos was just removed from Congress without a conviction. He was removed because there is evidence that he violated his oath and or the ethics/conduct of his office. He has trials scheduled this year just like Trump and George Santos was an elected sitting Representative and he was expelled again without a criminal trial or conviction but just on the available evidence. With Trump there is already plenty of evidence.
Innocent till proven guilty in a court of law
However, with money buying judges and not even an ethics base line present
and no other agency recognized with oversight, that would be a very toxic and
unsanitary attitude. We have the proof that morality alone cannot keep this judges's hands out of the cookie jar. ANY judge should refrain very far from widely recognized acts of bribery or blackmail. The Supreme Court should never be in any situation even remotely suggesting possible corruption.
WITH EXTRAORDINARY POWERS COMES EXTRAORDINARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Likewise policemen should be held to a much higher standard. Police immunity
is no longer justified, seen the overwhelming cases of police abuse and the
continued police brutality that so typically starts with a traffic violation and
ends up with a handcuffed person dead, after being assaulted by several cops,
eager and trained and equipped to kill. A case like Tyre Nichols could only happen if there is a general attitude that cops can get away with murder, rather than will be held to a higher standard of accountability. It is absurd to see criminals roam free and innocent people targeted for murder by police. This is what happens when there is lack of oversight and lack of enforcement of "code".
If the public does not trust the police, we have a problem.
Besides Superior Judges are not selected for their integrity, but for their non-integrity, willing to bend towards a political agenda.
So unless we do stand with impunity and not with impartiality or integrity of judges.....well if that is the case, then let's put a sign in front of the Superior Court, that this is what it is, without pretense. The sign could read:
"Impunity, neither Integrity nor Impartiality", preferable in Latin.
If the public does not trust the judges, we have a problem.
In either case of police or judges, we are talking about public servants, paid
by tax payers money. So if these entities become self-serving, we have
a serious problem. Inaction is not justified. Suggestion that the public
should not protest is inherently undemocratic. We need these entities to be
widely respected to have a practical balance of powers.
If not, an insurrection would be a much desired solution.
God Bless you Alan .
The most important thing to remember. or learn, is that many representatives of the southern states actually voted in favor of succession or insurrection.

Daily reminder. The last time the supreme court interfered with our ability to choose who to vote for was Lincoln. This also led to the civil war. 🧐
Excellent point, Courts stay out of the election process!
Let the people of the U.S. FREELY elect the person that they (the people) want to elect-PERIOD, END OF STORY!
Not as long as we have a Constitution!
@@Sarah-im3lp As long as the constitution is upheld.
Because he will win and everyone knows it . Up hold the constitution ya ok until it comes to their right to bear arms then the constitution goes out the window then free speech that to goes out the window . Democrats only want the constitution when it benefits fits them , didn’t they say it’s a two hundred year old piece of paper it needs to be re written ? Yes thy did
El Chapo for president.
The people DID vote for whom they wanted in 2020. But Trump refused to accept it and what a mess for the country. What makes you think if Trump loses in 2024 he will concede then?
One of the best was to overturn Roe. Roe was not a good decision. It was not legally sound. I would debate this immutable fact with anyone.
Gore was like a god.
He predicted the end of the world in 2000 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
No, he just made empty-headed conservatives feel ignorant, selfish, and narcissistic.
you made that one up
Now THAT'S an inconvenient truth.
@@jeffreyforeman5031You never heard of Y 2 K ?
What happened?
WHY ARE YOU LETTING THIS GUY SPEAK HES EVIL
As bad as Bush was, it would have been worse under Gore.
Yes they will, vote for an insurrectionist, they keep saying they just dont care
The worst decision was when The U.S. Supreme Court lifted restrictions imposed by lower courts on the ability of this adm to encourage social media companies to remove content.
This man flew the Epstien express.
In Bush v Gore SCOTUS was ruling on legislated recount procedures, not unconstitutionally inserting itself into resolving a disputed election. At the time Bush v Gore was addressed by SCOTUS the FL election ballots hadn't even been counted yet so there wasn't yet a disputed election to begin with.
That's not even remotely true.
@@garyjackson3531 Translation: "I got nuthin' except mindless butt-hurt over the truth."
Dems wanted certain areas recounted and not the whole state which is by law
Bush v. Gore was a good decision. Dershowitz is biased. Here's the problem with Gore's position. He wanted to count hanging and dimpled chads as votes and he wanted to throw out butterfly ballots as confusing. BUT, he only wanted to count chads and toss out ballots in deeply Democratic districts. SCOTUS correctly said that you have to count the whole state or no district. Quite right!
ALL preplanned .... leading to this, Tyranny
This is the same guy who tried to convince us that O J was innocent.
No Representation!!!!
Alan you are SO wrong it's not a voters choice its laws and no one is above the law ...
There was no insurrection
and the election was rigged. we heard it form fox. and still dont believe them. parrot.
@@diegojines-us9pc Millions and millions of mail ballots sent out with no security checks before hand as is required by law, but we are all supposed to believe everything was honest?
So, if I understand correctly, he thinks justice should be left in the hands of the citizens, not the courts. Does that include mob lynching? Is that theory valid for all citizens? What if you committed a crime and you're not on any ballot? Does he imply a two-tier justice system, one for the ordinary citizen and one for the politicians?
THANK YOU! In a democracy THE PEOPLE decide who is president!!!
Fortunately, the United States is *not* and never has been a democracy.
The United States is a Constitution based representative Republic.
Yep the people- not a president that doesn't like that the people voted for his opponent and so whines that the vote was rigged and begins corruptly trying to get states to change their votes!
We are a constitutional republic, not a democracy.
America is NOT a Democracy.
No one mentioned the 150 F B I AGENTS IN THE PROTEST EXCITING ALL UNARMED PROTEST
Here in America we live by the Constitution and the rule of law.
Not according to Trump supporters.
WRONG TRUMP SUPPORTERS LOVE CONSTITUTION REPUBLIC NOT LEFTIST TROLLS. LEFTIST THINK AMERICA IS A DEMOCRACY WRONG AND THEY ARE LIARS. WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY.
@@ericgranberg8893 Name the law Trump broke. Can you do that?

What is happening to America and the Supreme Court. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY PROFESSOR DERSHOWITZ.
Possible jail time coming for jack smith
Best news I have heard in a week.
Oh Allen. You are just an attorney. What do you know about making a just decision. It is your job to be biased. We can’t really take your opinion on these topics too serious. We know it’s just an attorneys biased opinion…
Overturning Roe v Wade was not one of the worst decisions when the case that was overturned was itself THE worst decision in the Court's entire history.
Actually you're wrong.
There was nothing wrong with Roe V Wade as it helped to recognize what women already know and new and that's it they have the right to an abortion and people like you have no say in the matter
The Supreme Court overturning of that was a travesty and it was a clear attempt to steal the human rights of women
an attempt that is now blowing up in their faces, and Republicans are going to continue to pay for that CRYING in every election that is to come
Citizen's United case gave us the end of bipartisanship in Congress. Would call that case the worst decision. All hail the mighty donors and their special interests!
Since we vote for criminals all the time, why is Trump being singled out?
Donald Trump is Donald Trump we know it , they know it , but they are scared to death (not literally) of him being President , it`s true . Vote in 2024 Presidential Elections , in November . Remember now .
A criminal who abides by a free and fair election is not the same as a criminal who refuses to do so.
@@totostamopo Why was it fair, when the usual safeguards and checks against fraud were suspended just for the 2020 election? If there was ever a election where fraud could have made the difference in the outcome, it would be 2020. Millions of ballots mailed out with no security checks first, even though we have been told that mail ballots are the easiest way to cheat, yet instead we are told this was the most secure election in history?
When talking about “corporate personhood” I agree in applying the Plutocracy Rationale, the Absurdity Rationale, and the Distinctiveness Rationale. I agree with the logic that it’s nonsensical, illegitimate, and must be eliminated. I believe all 3, P+A+D present logical reasons for its illegitimacy. The Constitution says, We The People not We The Corporations. Benito Mussolini was quoted as saying, “Fascism should more importantly be called corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.”
It is “corporatist collectivism” that was first introduced in 1913 with the introduction of the Revenue Act and the Federal Reserve Act enacted by President Woodrow Wilson. I agree that ‘ treating corporations the same as we do humans, we dilute the political and moral value of our own humanity.’ [Corporations can be legitimate holders of constitutional rights, and, importantly, nothing in the doctrine of corporate personhood requires that corporations be granted the same complement of rights as humans.]. ‘The extension of rights to corporations is easily taken too far.’
This I also agree with.
This could lead to the electorate being invalidated.
Citizens United was the worst decision the court has made in modern times.
Someone should write a "Novel" : How Democrats broke America !
Unfortunately it would be found in the nonfiction section.
Ye. trumpettes - multiple different attempt to destroy a US Election. just. in last 2 weeks - White House lawyer R.G.. GUILTY of lying in an attempt to increase threats on Election Workers. trump did the EXACT same , down to naming the victims. Several 'Alternate electors' GUILTY . trump, another tape of him pressuring Election officials to change an Election . 3 different attempts to destroy a US Election, last couple weeks. TRAITORS
It would span 40 volumes.
“Donald Trump, His allies and supporters, are a clear and present danger to American Democracy!” America’s most well respected CONSERVATIVE Constitutional Scholar, Judge Michael Luttig.
Most of my republican colleagues don’t even believe in the Constitution!” Sen. Mitt Romney
Democrats LOVE and RESPECT our Constitution! It’s the republicans who hate what America is all about!
It could focus on how Biden got us to 3.7% unemployment an a record stock market, and record oil production to boot.
Didn’t the voters say they don’t want trump a few years ago? His failure to admit loss is what has all of us watching this shit show now.
Mr. Trump tells the truth and no other that represents the people has!!! Thankyou for standing up for us that have no voice.
How does a sitting president throw an insurrection against himself?
I guess you missed the part about how all the violence occurred during the electoral count certification. It was interrupted and delayed which was the first lack of complete peaceful transfer of power in history. All based on lies. Trump lost in over 60 courts some with Trump-appointed judges. Why? There has never been one iota of evidence to suggest that there was fraud that swung the election to Biden. That was just Trump grooming the masses.
When he or she tries to prevent a president elect from taking office after he or she won a fair and free presidential election! Quit whining! Trump LOST!
@@cfb1923 Strange how the normal checks and safeguards against mail ballot fraud were suspended (because of COVID) at the same time many States sent out millions of mail ballots, even though mail ballots are the easiest way to cheat. And no one was even allowed to check for fraud, because that would be "voter suppression".
The following is what the Supreme Court in Utah said and in 1968 about The U.S. Supreme Court. > The United States Supreme Court, as at present constituted, has departed from the Constitution as it has been interpreted from its inception and has followed the urgings of social reformers in foisting upon this Nation laws which even Congress could not constitutionally pass. It has amended the Constitution in a manner unknown to the document itself. While it takes three fourths of the states of the Union to change the Constitution legally, yet as few as five men who have never been elected to office can by judicial fiat accomplish a change just as radical as could three fourths of the states of this Nation. As a result of the recent holdings of that Court, the sovereignty of the states is practically abolished, and the erst while free and independent states are now in effect and purpose merely closely supervised units in the federal system. < Dyett v. Turner, 439 P.2d 266 (Utah 1968)
My only comment is that there shouldn't be a discussion about so many "democratic" justices voted one way and so many "republican" justices voted another way. It implies that they, the justices, are only "voting" based on their politics. Justices should be known for how they defend our rights enshrined in our Constitution. Truly sad if one party is against Constitutional rights and one is for them...
Dershowitz has to be sweating that Epstein list publication.
PRESIDENT TRUMP NUMBER 47 2024 MAGA
This is why, although I consider myself a Conservative, listen to what Mr. Dershowitz has to say. He speaks using the written language of our laws, NOT feelings.
Big Mike's winklie dinkle
Let the people decide? Don’t follow the constitution, let the voters decide. That is difficult to square.
I am one of those on the political right. Having said that I believe Alan Dershowitz is one of the best thinkers in America today. He would be a fair and honest person to serve on our Supreme Court. An honest honorable man.
A good decision on election uncertainty is to order a new election. Electing politicians regardless of office is NEVER urgent. If the repeating elections took six months that saves voters from bad political decisions and wasting money paying them. Only politicians believe they are important and essential. If a politician appeals to voters they will win on the first round otherwise give the voters ample opportunity to make a decision backed by the majority.
Well there was no election uncertainty with the 2020 election.
Trump tried to stir election uncertainty amongst his sycophantic followers but the facts did not support a claim of uncertainty therefore the claim is dismissed
This January 6th stuff is nothing but Democrat BS at its finest!
