Thought For The Day

From Joe Conason over at The National Memo:

Americans ought to thank Alan Dershowitz for his scintillating defense of President Donald Trump. Carried away on a crescendo of bluster, the retired Harvard law professor broadcast the true meaning of the acquittal preordained by crooked Senate Republicans: This president is exempt from any legal consequences, even if he seeks foreign assistance to rig his own election.

Of course, the minute there is a president from the Democratic Party sitting in the Oval Office the GOP's tune will, no doubt, change completely.

They will, no doubt, immediately evangelize to the nation on the wisdom of the constitutionally authorized checks and balances, the constitutionally authorized limits on presidential power and the constitutionally authorized co-equal branches of government.

At that point challenging them on their actions these past few weeks will only trigger blank stares and deflections to something else - anything else - in order to avoid any discussion of their own betrayals of the same Constitution they will be claiming to defend.
