Dershowitz was at onetime, a respected Harvard law professor who called himself a liberal. (That was a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.)
Joins O.J. Simpson's defense team and establishes himself as a whore who will do anything, anything, for fame, money, or greatness.
Over many years, he has defended every wingnut cause imaginable.
He becomes a regular on Fox "news" defending transparent fascist shit. (So much for his being a liberal which he always brags about.)
And now, for his magnificent final act, becoming part of the defense team of the horrible creature who wants to be king.
Decades ago, Dershowitz really was a respected Harvard Law Professor. WTF happened? Did he have some kind of stroke at some point in his life that fucked up his ability to think rationally? Or did he just become a money-grubbing pig? Beats me.
And let's not forget that he was a "guest" at Epstein's whorehouse of anything goes where he was "talked into" a massage. He said that he never took off his underwear, but I wonder how old his masseuse was.
But, what I do know is that, whatever the cause or reason, he has become a grotesque caricature that should have all his Harvard titles taken away, and shunned by any decent human being.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that he's one of the greatest pricks of this era.
Seems he's found his true calling as part of Trump's "defense team."

Here's the best thing I can say about him. Fuck him.
And even worse, before his death, may he become aware of what he once was, the good he could have done in this world, and the social cancer he turned into to help destroy decency.
I repeat. Fuck him.

(15,073 posts)Once you are respected, academically recognized, financially secure, who would want anything more?
Did Dershowitz want to be Einstein, or Newton, or Galileo? Who the fuck knows?
But there was/is something really wrong with this man. And you just know he's never going to go away until he dies or no one will hire him.

(3,252 posts)I ALWAYS felt more conservative than before. It figures he now defends Trump. What a delusional douchebag. Well educated, but entirely foolish.
