Alan Dershowitz with Jeffrey Toobin

Can we defend President Trump’s civil liberties without defending his policies?

In today’s era of “Lock her up!” and “Lock him up!”, when we disagree with a politician, it’s not enough for them just to be wrong — they must be criminals too. But this prosecutorial spirit is eroding our democracy, says renowned legal scholar Alan Dershowitz in his passionate new book, Trumped Up. Even if we’re vehemently opposed to the Trump administration or to his opponents on the left, what if we start thinking about the other side not as crooks, but as fellow Americans with whom we need to find common ground? Join Dershowitz and veteran analyst Jeffrey Toobin, of CNN and The New Yorker, for a probing look at this timely issue.
