Dershowitz: The Dem Brief Is More Dangerous to Our Democratic Governance than Anything They Accused Donald Trump of Doing

TRANSCRIPT:

DERSHOWITZ: "This brief filed by the Democrats in the House of Representatives and submitted to the Senate, this brief is more dangerous to freedom of speech, more dangerous to our democratic governance than anything they accuse Donald Trump of doing. Donald Trump is a former president. These are members of Congress. They're asking the Senate to abridge the First Amendment. They're telling the Senate to ignore the First Amendment. Again, the First Amendment does not apply at all to an impeachment proceeding. Ignore it, don't pay any attention to the First Amendment. Why is the First Amendment in the Constitution? It's a constraint on Congress, a constraint on the Senate, a constraint on the House, a constraint on Jamie Raskin. And yet he doesn't  seem to understand that. Congress can't do anything in violation of the First Amendment."
