This is a new level of insanity.
Maybe I’m misremembering the old Schoolhouse Rock but I’m pretty sure a bill doesn’t become a law until it’s signed by… the President?
Does Dershowitz think the whims of today’s president trump any existing foreign policy-related law on the books?
I mean, what the fuck alternate reality did I just wake up into?
Man, I wish I had my own major media outlet the sole purpose of which was to boost my self esteem.
Well, he’s not exactly wrong, the Constitution does create some areas in which the Executive Branch has virtually all the authority.
Now I’m no big shot kid-fucking lawyer like ol’ Alan Dershowitz but

Lololol Dersh is actually his impeachment lawyer. What a world.
In this context, he’s exactly wrong. Have you read the GAO Report? The law in question is the Impoundment Control Act which has been on the books for nearly 50 years. Trump may not have signed it and he may not like it, but his administration is bound by it.
So many voting systems are so easily hackable and so many people have an interest in the outcome that it’s essentially impossible that systems haven’t been hacked.
Ken Starr? Jesus, I thought he was too semi-respectable to wade into this toxic mess. Does he want to wind up like Dershowitz?
So the guy who has been giving legal opinions for months that are the complete opposite of everything he was on the record for before, is in fact going to be directly representing the person he’s been defending against all reason on TV. At least he isn’t going to be able to pretend to give his impartial legal opinion on TV anymore.
I didn’t read the GAO report, but the boundaries of the Executive’s authority aren’t well defined because it hasn’t been extensively litigated, so I suspect there may be a reasonable argument that the law is Unconstitutional, but like I said, I haven’t looked at any of this.
Not true, the executive branch awards the MOH
