Dersh: SCOTUS Critics Want to Burn Down Democracy to 'Save' It

"And then you get Keith Olbermann behaving like a Ku Klux Klan, saying we ought to dissolve the Supreme Court because we don't like its decision. And you get my former student [Maryland Democrat Rep.] Jamie Raskin saying, 'Well, why don't we circumvent the Supreme Court's decision basically and go to Congress and maybe have a congressional ruling that he can't serve, even though he can run, but he can't serve.'

Dershowitz said: "What happened if, in fact, if Trump were to win overwhelmingly and then the Democrat-controlled Congress, and they were to vote under Section 5 of the 14th [Amendment] that [Trump] can't serve, that the man who was elected overwhelmingly can't serve? It would destroy American democracy and that's what Jamie Raskin and Laurence Tribe, and Judge Michael Luttig [are] trying to do.

"And they say that it's in the name of democracy. No, democracy allows me to vote against Donald Trump for the third time. That's my right. You have the right to vote for him for the third time, but that's not something the court should be deciding."
