Distinguished retired law professor Alan Dershowitz believes that at least one or more liberals on the Supreme Court will vote to end the lawfare attack on President Trump. On Tuesday, a New York appeals court denied Trump’s request to cancel his Jan. 10 sentencing hearing. Dershowitz predicted liberal Justices would side with Trump because of “fairness and due process.”
Dershowitz said:
“He probably didn’t even make the decision. The decision was made by some underling to simply list it as [a] legal expense. He didn’t deduct it. He just listed it. I think there was a chart, a fall-down thing where you can pick one or two [or] three or four, and one of them was legal experts. It was checked. It’s not a crime. That’s just not a crime. Again, Thomas Jefferson [said] for something to be a crime [that] the statute has to be so clear that a reasonable person could understand it if he reads it, while running.”
“The question is, will the appellate courts do the right thing? Now, I think the Supreme Court of the United States will do the right thing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the liberals went along, because a liberal was supposed to be concerned about fairness and due process. We’re supposed to be concerned about the Constitution. We’re not supposed to be concerned with partisan outcomes.”

A New York appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s request to cancel his Jan. 10 sentencing hearing. Dershowitz predicted that concerns about “fairness and due process” in Trump’s trial would lead the more liberal justices on the Supreme Court to eventually join a ruling in Trump’s favor.
A Manhattan jury on May 30 found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump has been unable to appeal the verdict, but Dershowitz said the appeal would likely succeed.
“The question is, will the appellate courts do the right thing?” Dershowitz asked. “Now, I think the Supreme Court of the United States will do the right thing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the liberals went along, because a liberal was supposed to be concerned about fairness and due process. We’re supposed to be concerned about the Constitution. We’re not supposed to be concerned with partisan outcomes.”
Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by President Joe Biden, joined five of the high court’s more conservative justices in a ruling that the Department of Justice used an overly broad interpretation of a statute against some of the defendants involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 disturbance at the U.S. Capitol building.
