Dershowitz makes a great point
[NOTE: Something is wrong with the YouTube videos of this show, and therefore this clip won’t play. I will be busy for quite some time today and unable to try to fix it till tonight. Sorry about that, but perhaps it will spontaneously heal in the meantime.]
About the shifting politics-dependent opinions of legal so-called scholars:
NOTE: And by the way, Dershowitz is a brave man. The left hates him already as a betrayer, and for his role in defending the Constitution in the Trump trial they will try even harder to destroy him.
Something untoward seems to have happened to your YouTube clip neo. It’s 9 secs long without discernable substantive content.

Thanks. I added a note about the problem.
Alan Dershowitz is indeed a brave man. The left will try to ruin him. In fact, they already have tried. His book, “Guilt By Accusation,” points out how people, and he includes himself, are being tried in the court of public opinion with little concern about due process. He has already been defamed because he helped defend Jefferey Epstein.
I could never be as unbiased or as brave as Dershowitz. He is a man for all seasons. Bless him.
JJ don t agree that Dersh is up to the caliber of Thomas Moore.
He readily admits that he donated hugely to HRCs campaign & more concerning VOTED for her! as did law professor Jonathan Turley.
I can respect being against Trump in that election but with HRC obvious law breaking, out right lies, & blood on her hands via Benghazi how any one in the law profession could cast a vote for her completely amazes me. There were 3rd party people that could have been voted for. These 2 have diminished themselves IMO.
MollyNH, I get your concerns. Yeah, he’s human, and like all of us, has his failings. I still tip my hat to him for his willingness to speak up for due process and justice, even though it’s going to be personally damaging.
I agree with J.J. here.
I’m quite fine with Dersh “throwing away” one vote for HRC, if that gives his legal views on this DJT thing more cred w/ moderate Dems.
It looks as though everything from Fox News on 1/29 is only a few seconds long. On 1/30 (today) they seem to be back to normal.
Note: There’s a 38-min (IIRC) clip of Trish Regan on Fox on 1/29, but it’s not posted by FNC but uploaded by (allegedly) some user.
I looks to me that something fishy is going on at YouTube. Searching for “The Ingraham Angle 1/29/20” on YouTube brings up many results but almost _all_ of them are 2 seconds long. It looks like either several different people are uploading very short clips to pollute the search results or YouTube is clipping videos. Neither of those possibilities bodes well.
The two links below appear to be the show Neo was attempting to embed. The first starts at about 10:00 PM EST; the second at about 10:09 PM EST. Dershowitz appears in the second video at about the 8 minute 15 second mark.

It appears that I did not get the HTML correct for the second link:
The Ingraham Angle 1/29/20 | Fox Breaking News January 29, 2020
Dershowitz appears at about the 8 minute 15 second mark.
The YouTube search function is a little strange too: searching for the exact title of the video in quotes did not find it. Apparently the “|” character is treated special even within quotes. Searching for “The Ingraham Angle 1/29/20” “Fox Breaking News January 29, 2020” did find the video.

I once viewed a debate on the Second Amendment pitting Dershowitz against David Kopel and Eugene Volokh. Dersh was infuriating, not just because he was wrong; he was rude and childish. Maybe it was a lawyer trick to rattle his opponents, but I was hoping for a reasoned argument on the issues. Having said that, I’ve come respect him for his courage and willingness to stand on principle at great personal cost. If I recall, he also took the politically incorrect position on the George Zimmerman case.
People upload unauthorized Fox News stuff to YT who cut it to 2 seconds. It’s usually available for a few hours though so we can see shows. It’s no good linking to it though as it won’t work for long.
