Hamilton called the judiciary the ‘least dangerous branch,’ but that was oh-so 18th century. Alexander Hamilton described the judiciary as “the least dangerous branch,” because it has the power of neither the sword nor the purse. It was supposed to play an important but limited role in our governance, as part of the system of checks and balances, but in recent years — especially since Bush v. Gore in 2000 — the courts have begun to play far too important roles in determining the outcome of elections. This certainly seems to be the case today, in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
Prof. Dershowitz, with great respect for your outstanding career & I believe, your integrity, 3 years later I'm still trying to reconcile that with your support & affection for Joe Biden, & your voiced opinion that Merrick Garland would be a fine Atorney General. Reading your current concerns about the judiciary, I wonder why there is no mention of his trashing the concept of equal jusice & doing such harm to the country & individuals in it.
I would say Hamilton's statement is still accurate.
The judges must get involved because the radical left wing of the democrat party is so obtuse, and so willing to abuse the legal system for their sanctimonious, neo-marxist crusade, that justices have no choice but to strike down their vicious attempts to divide and conquer.
This is a cultural problem, not a judicial problem.
There is a point wherewith the prosecution of a candidate likely to be nominated becomes election interference. It is incumbent on the incumbent’s administration to choose a date that is not in election season, ie, two years prior, or drop the case for the sake of the people. Likewise, discovery should be completed on the prosecution side to be certain there is a case that is being brought only to serve the public’s interests. It appears no ones’ interests are currently being served.
It is also a judicial problem because the judiciary have been through the academia 'progressive' sheep-dip same as all other professionals. People who are independent-minded enough to not be influenced by this are a rarity.
I thank our dear Holy Creator for courageous people such as yourself dear Dr. Dershowitz, who will not back down and keep standing for our best form of government and most noble constitution.
They play too large a part period. They have arrogated thr power to make super executive decisions by overuling eexecutive decisions as arbitrary. Etc.
They also work and live in a cocoon, which limits the amount of "fresh air" being let in.

I think weaponized is the right word. In Israel the legal left has been after Netanyahu for many years. No convictions. It'll be the same for Trump.
