Oh I do admire his (Alan Dershowitz) ability to see and explain so clearly the core and onus of being a civil libertarian. He certainly is, in nearly all senses. And that's difficult, IMHO. I would like to be but find living up to it can be difficult.

Oh I do admire his (Alan Dershowitz) ability to see and explain so clearly the core and onus of being a civil libertarian. He certainly is, in nearly all senses. And that's difficult, IMHO. I would like to be but find living up to it can be difficult.



The first portion of the book's articles written before the election, to me- they were all 5 star. The remaining articles are usually in chronological order and having to do with world events, and also the civil liberties that this criminalization practice for our differences- what that endangers.



There are predictions in multiples which hit spot on to events a year or two after they were made.

But those are not the quotes I wanted to list and then decided against doing so. It's a short book. Read it. His lawful and constitutional understandings re parties and their political spectrums! Immense, but that's not the peak either. The peak of his expertise is how he fits the precedent and the definitions of current political party "redefining" into the complexity of what is real law.



Criminalization should NEVER occur only for political differences as strategy techniques. It's happening from both sides now.



His articles about spectrum politics and especially upon his Democratic Party going far Left are all 5 star. He taught me numerous detail (overview to entire) about DNC chairmanship and other aspects within the Bernie split that I did not know. Especially upon Ellison and the far Left's links to Anti-Semitic factions and leaders like Farrakhan.



He gives advice to both Hillary Clinton and Obama (several articles re Israel/ Middle East and miserable decisions made by Kerry and Obama) in this for events that occurred before the 2016 election and the reaction to a spectrum of the American peoples' politics if she, in particular, did NOT take his advice. Neither did. And the outcomes he predicted in the early articles became prophetic. Prophetic times two.



He now warns Trump in a few of these pieces about doing something that he should not do. And that is playing the same game back with this criminalization habit. Trump is not listening if he threatens to "sue" and such as he is doing now with the NY Times Opt- Ed. piece. Neither side holds a valid procedure toward criminalizations for politico differences and stances. Not even slander. And other peoples' civil liberties are being destroyed and insulted in governmental process rogue ways to "court" in the meantime for this kind of cabal "attack" understanding.



Excellent book. If nothing else, the article upon the centrist American stand (how American political spectrum moves) reality is essential to understanding any American politics at all. These new hard Left Socialist candidates who have opposite to regular Democratic Party candidates objectives, "eyes"- worldview and intolerant opinion other than the one "correct" one- which is not the Democratic party's liberal tradition or heritage. (Centrist Democratic Party stance being large government programs constantly improved, modified, enlarged etc.- while the hard Left's is revolution, scrapping, violent if need be obstruction, and stripping back to "new" and annihilating all of the "old" entities of structure/ authority.) That Dershowitz article about the American viability "eyes" is 6 star, as is the one "The First Amendment is not broken, so don't try to fix it". Everyone who is an American citizen should read both of those. Because the middle is now wandering astray and both parties are virtually split for each moving too far off center. But as the American heart and worldview is far more easily moved right than left?



I highly recommend this book if you want a real "eyes" picture of what the divisions in the USA are now re politico in 2018. The author is a wise man.
