Dershowitz on SCOTUS: ‘A True Conservative Is Not a Judicial Activist’

‘I hope he is looking for a libertarian conservative, a true conservative who elevates the rights of individual over the power of government’

EXCERPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "The President makes these kinds of decisions based on his personal interaction with the individuals more than recommendations. Obviously, he will take into account recommendations as well. I hope he is looking for a libertarian conservative, a true conservative who elevates the rights of individual over the power of government. A true conservative also respects precedent, doesn’t come to the court with an agenda, with a list of issues that he wants to see change. A true conservative is not a judicial activist. So I think he can broaden his base, help unite the country if he picks a true conservative who really believes in liberty and who believes in precedent. That is what true conservatism is on the bench."
