...on CNN a minute ago. He said this was a political act, not a constitutional or lawful action. He said it is a shame that she is trying to use the constitution to justify a political statement in an attempt to be a hero. He said parts of the Trump order may very well be unconstitutional or unlawful but to defy the entire order instead of stating which parts are unconstitutional shows that this is a political move.

He also called out his former colleague Elizabeth Warren for intentionally misstating the constitution by referring to the "no religious test" clause while forgetting to include that that phrase only refers to eligibility for elected office, not immigration policy.

I love his quote where he said that "this nation has a habit of saying anything they don't like is unconstitutional."

Another great point he made is that the first amendment applies to Congress, not the president. It says "congress shall make no law" for a reason.

I'm still waiting on someone to point out to me in the Constitution where it says that every person on Earth has unrestricted access to our country.

And Alan Dershowitz is certainly no Republican or Trump supporter. He said that Trump's order is horrible policy for the nation, but he is sick of people trying to use "but this is unconstitutional" as a catch all phrase for anything that they don't like. That is not how constitutions work.

Alan Dershowitz has abandoned the Democratic Party and is all in on the MAGA movement in case you haven't noticed lately.

I disagree with Mr. Dershowitz on one point. The First Amendment applies to the states through the 14th amendment.

Otherwise, I am glad he is finally being objective.
