Summary

The author presents his insights and perspective on current legal efforts to stop Donald Trump from winning a second term as President of the United States--efforts that in Dershowitz's opinion are unconstitutional and are not an equal application of the lawDershowitz analyses the efforts by political opponents of Donald Trump to stop him from running in 2024-- at any cost. He makes it clear that unconstitutional efforts to stop Trump from retaking the presidency challenge the very foundations of our liberty: due process, right to counsel, and free speech. Tho some argue that the threat posed by a second Trump presidency is "different" and "immediate," the essence of justice is that it must be equally applicable to all. Digging to find crimes in order to influence an election does not constitute an equal application of the law: it is likely to create dangerous precedents that in future will be deloyed against other controversial candidates, officials, or citizens who are "different." -- adapted from jacket
