The Senate is likely to acquit Trump. It should still reject Dershowitz s logic. HotAir

If Republicans in the Senate were not only to acquit Trump but also to endorse the constitutional argument that Trump s lawyers made on his behalf, they would be taking a large step toward undoing the lessons of Watergate. They would be inviting future presidents to think that there is only one possible check on the abuse of power, and that is the ballot box. They would be crippling the ability of future Congresses to hold presidents accountable for abuse of power and to deter presidents from running the risk of facing an impeachment inquiry for their misconduct while in office.
