Those who justify these dangerous departures from the rule of law argue that the threat posed by a second Trump presidency is \"different\" and \"immediate,\" while the departures from constitutional norms are longer term and more abstract. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dershowitz explains that defenders of Trump's constitutional rights--even those like him who strongly oppose Trump politically--are sought to be silenced; their free speech rights attacked, their integrity questioned, and their careers threatened. Much of the media substitutes advocacy against Trump for objective reporting, while many in academia petition and propagandize against rights they previously valued--all in the interest of getting Trump. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The essence of justice is that it must be equally applicable to all, Dershowitz notes. No one is above the law but digging to find crimes in order to influence an election does not constitute the equal application of the law. In order to assure equal application in comparable situations, he proposes two criteria for indicting a likely candidate of the opposing party: the Richard Nixon standard and the Hillary Clinton standard--and most recently, the Joe Biden standard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGet Trump \u003c\/i\u003ewarns that regardless of whether this anti-democratic effort to stop Trump from running succeeds or fails, it is likely to create dangerous precedents that will lie around like loaded weapons ready to be deployed against other controversial candidates, officials, or citizens about whom it can be argued that the danger they pose \"is different.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Dershowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hot Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510777811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Dershowitz \u003c\/b\u003eis one of the most celebrated lawyers in the world.

Detention? Interrogation? Torture? What if the attack involved a weaponized virus? Should the government compel widespread inoculation that might kill hundreds of people while saving millions? What if an article describing how to circumvent the inoculation mandate was about to be published? Should censorship of the article be authorized? These are the sorts of questions Alan Dershowitz has been asking for more than 60 years, in his teaching, writing, and litigation. Now, at age 86, he has written his magnum opus. In it, he suggests an overarching jurisprudential framework that would set limits to the ballooning power of what he calls \"the preventive state.\" This important book offers unprecedented insights into one of the most underexamined developments of our age: the growing magnitude and frequency of cataclysmic threats, coupled with the increasingly effective--but increasingly intrusive--tools intended to predict and prevent them. Dershowitz responds to the urgent need for a jurisprudence that provides balance and accountability as both dangers and preventive capabilities increase, threatening our security and our liberties. This masterful analysis should be read by everyone who cares about security, liberty, and democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Dershowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Encounter Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641774406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALAN DERSHOWITZ has been litigating, teaching, and writing about law and policy for more than 60 years. He has written 55 books and more than 1,000 articles. Many of today's world leaders are among the 10,000 students he has taught. He has represented and advised presidents, prime ministers, and business leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e Called \"the world's best-known lawyer\" and its most prominent defender of civil liberties, he has litigated and won hundreds of cases in multiple countries. He has received numerous honorary degrees, medals, and other honors for his work. One such distinction was bestowed on him by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel who said: \"If there had been a few people like Alan Dershowitz during the 1930s and 1940s, the history of European Jewry might have been different.\" Most of his cases and causes have been pro bono, including his defense of dissidents, such as Natan Sharansky, V?clav Havel, and Julian Assange. Dershowitz graduated first in his class at Yale Law School and was the editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. He taught at Harvard for 50 years, where he offered courses on issues ranging from criminal, constitutional, family, and Jewish laws to psychiatry, neurobiology, mathematics, literature, philosophy, and even baseball. His primary academic interest has been on prediction and prevention of harmful conduct, which he developed into a course and taught during most of his career. Philosophically, he considers himself a constitutional libertarian, meritocratic egalitarian, and constructive contrarian. At age 86, he continues to write and consult, while spending more time with Carolyn, his wife of 39 years, his three children, and two grandchildren.","brand":"Dershowitz, Alan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302041637092,"sku":"9781641774406","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/71PYVZcoeoL.jpg?v=1746594783"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/collections\/dershowitz-alan.oembed","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
