Episode 27 - Alan Dershowitz - The case for mandatory vaccines, getting you ”Liberal Card” pulled and did the glove fit?

This week the Pack goes outside the world of finance. We are
joined by constitutional scholar and Emeritus Professor of Law at
Harvard, Alan Dershowitz (@alandersh on Twitter). Alan speaks
freely and comfortably about a little bit of everything, his
past, his beliefs, current events, past clients, the scourge of
woke-ism and cancel-culture, the rough texture and dissonant tone
of our times.


Alan Dershowitz has long been celebrated for his work in U.S.
constitutional and criminal law. The youngest full professor ever
at Harvard Law School, he taught from 1964 through 2013, where he
was appointed as the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law in 1993.
Dershowitz is a regular media contributor, political commentator,
and legal analyst. Throughout his long career, he has written
more than two-score books, at least one every year. His latest is
coming soon, The Case For Color Blind Equality In The Age Of
Identity Politics.


Dershowitz has always believed in maintaining his sharpness in
the courtroom as well as classroom, and has always undertaken
complex, high-profile, and often unpopular cases, causes, and
clients. He has represented a long list of luminaries on both
sides of popular sentiment, including Mike Tyson, Patty Hearst,
Leona Helmsley, Julian Assange, Jim Bakker, O.J. Simpson, Jeffery
Epstein, and Harvey Weinstein. 


In 2018 he agreed to represent President Donald Trump, Dershowitz
winning his latest landmark case. This and many of his recent
pronouncements rubbed wrong the American Left, which had always
been his fan-base, neighbors in New York, and social peers. What
so many of them misunderstood, and what Alan explains so well in
this wide-ranging conversation, is that he took and won the case
in defense of the US Constitution, the protections and rights
provided by which he sees as increasingly under dire threat from
that same Left that once so warmly embraced and now so churlishly
scorns him.


So often the great among us are left to walk alone... join the
Pack as we keep this brilliant mind and brave man company for a
while  in comfortable conversation.
