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 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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Dershowitz \u003c\/b\u003eis one of the most celebrated lawyers in the world.
