“It is an enigma on where politically to put Dershowitz at this point.”
Most liberals today are dishonest and unprincipled, and simply take emotional knee jerk positions against whatever conservatives want. The result is that their positions are irrational and internally inconsistant
There are a few honest liberals though and I think Dershowitz is one of them. Make no mistake though, he’s still extremely liberal in that he doesn’t think free enterprise results in a fair distribution of wealth - he still advocates big government wealth redistribution.
But he’s honest, and when he see his own party cheating and lying he doesn’t want any part of it. Good for him - I admire that.
But he’s still a far left liberal.
And yet he is to the right of the DNC at this point. That says a lot about the DNC and the Dem party.
I agree about the "devil's advocate" positions that the Dems have taken. They are against anything that "normalizes" (legitimizes) Trump, period. This will get interesting on DACA and infrastructure for sure. I bet Trump gets what he wants and they support it to get influence on the matter. But I guess we will see. Maybe they just vote no or call immigration reform and infrastructure spending "irresponsible". It's going to get fun!
