Alan Dershowitz
Alan Morton Dershowitz is a professor of law at Harvard.
Dershowitz has represented many High-Profile Clients,[1] as well as infamous clients, including O.J. Simpson, Jeffrey Epstein, and Harvey Weinstein, as well as politicians such as President Trump during his first sham impeachment. He has written more than a dozen books, including The Case Against the New Censorship: Protecting Free Speech from Big Tech, Progressives, and Universities (2021). He was formerly a liberal Democrat on politics, but a civil libertarian on legal issues. He is a Jewish Zionist, and a supporter of Israel. Dershowitz strongly supports gun control, and even says that Second Amendment rights have "no place" in modern society. In 2008, he endorsed Crooked Hillary Clinton for president. In 2012, he supported Barack Hussein Obama's re-election. In 2020, he endorsed Joe Biden, while criticizing Bernie Sanders for his support for Jeremy Corbyn.
In 2023 criticized Colorado ruling barring Trump from 2024 ballot.[2] Saying: "In the 60 years I’ve been practicing and teaching law, I’ve never seen a decision that’s so anti-democratic and so unconstitutional."
In September 2024 he left the Democratic Party, citing increased antisemitism.[3]
