Alan Dershowitz's Senate Argument on Impeachment Structure

“Perhaps the query isn’t what occurred to Alan Dershowitz. Perhaps it’s what occurred to everybody else.”—
Politico

In "Defending the Structure," Alan Dershowitz, a renowned legal scholar and bestselling author, presents a compelling constitutional case against President Donald Trump's impeachment, echoing his powerful argument delivered to the US Senate.

Alan Dershowitz, often praised as one of America's top defenders of civil liberties, has faced criticism for applying his principles, including his famous "shoe-on-the-other-foot test," to former President Donald Trump during the impeachment trial. Known for his constitutional expertise, Dershowitz represented Trump before the U.S. Senate, sparking intense debate. Politicocalled him "probably the most outstanding and constant defenders of civil liberties in America," while Newsweekdescribed him as "the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one among its most distinguished defenders of particular person rights."

In "Defending the Structure," Alan Dershowitz shifts the focus of the impeachment debate to the enduring standard he has championed for years: the Constitution of the United States. Drawing on legal precedents from esteemed jurists and scholars and dissecting the impeachment clause within the Constitution, Dershowitz argues convincingly — first before the U.S. Senate, and now to readers worldwide — that President Trump's impeachment was unwarranted. He asserts that the reasons cited fall short of the criteria set by the nation's founding fathers, making a strong case against his removal from office.

This e book is Alan Dershowitz’s argument for a return to nonpartisan judgment primarily based on the Structure, for a preservation of the separation of powers and the checks and balances that make American authorities nice. It’s important studying for anybody taken with or involved concerning the impeachment of President Trump, and for everybody who cares about the way forward for U.S. authorities and society.
