"I think it’s so unconstitutional, I don’t even know where to begin"

“Well, I think it’s so unconstitutional, I don’t even know where to begin,” Dershowitz said on Newsmax Thursday. “The idea of giving individuals the right to enforce the law – what if Texas next passed a law saying that anybody had the right to prevent gay marriage? If any gay people get married you can sue them, and anybody who facilitated the gay marriage and collect $10,000? Or any Black person who wants to vote, a White person can sue them?”

Dershowitz said he thinks that if and when the law is argued before the court, Chief Justice John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh will find its enforcement mechanism unconstitutional because the law allows “individual buttinskies, individual busybodies to say we don’t like what’s going in an abortion clinic.”

The professor stated the reasoning behind the law’s enforcement “is exactly the same as if two gay people were getting married, but [people] say ‘We don’t like gay marriage and so we’re going to interfere.’”
