President Joe Biden might think he is the president of "unity," but this is another high-pressure election year, and legal expert Alan Dershowitz on Newsmax predicts a "summer of violence," with more unconstitutional abuses of power and politicized justice in America.
"I'm afraid we will have a summer of violence if the Supreme Court overrules Roe v. Wade, and we will see the Justice Department and this administration selectively enforcing the law," Dershowitz told "Saturday Agenda."
"You won't find congressional committees controlled [by] Democrats evaluating whether there was incitement, whether by Black Lives Matter — or women's groups."
Dershowitz denounced the hands-off approach and failing to hold those accountable in violent race riots in the summer of 2020, while Jan. 6 defendants are selectively prosecuted and treated more harshly than other more alleged violent criminals.
"We have to have one law for all," Dershowitz told host Tom Basile. "The rules have to be identical. It doesn't matter if you're protesting something that deserves to be protested — like the ending of Roe v. Wade — or something that doesn't deserve protested.
"That's not what the First Amendment is about. The First Amendment does not choose between causes, and it has — as [former] Chief Justice [William] Rehnquist said — there's no such thing as a false opinion under the First Amendment. So the rules have to be identical; and unfortunately, they're not identical. They're selectively imposed and enforced.
The abuse of power will not be limited to the Justice Department's selective enforcement of the law against conservatives either, Dershowitz lamented, as Biden is also going to abuse the executive authority, like using the Defense Production Act to speed up green energy initiates amid massive inflation, energy shortages, and rising gas prices.

The last one worked out great for the collectivists, so they will definitely try it again.
Maybe this summer, the other side will punch back twice as hard.
Mitch McConnell needs to go.
It’s a repeat of the 2020 campaign with feral Democrats running amok across the country and committing violent acts in the summer, and then in the fall COVID mandates, mail in balloting and massive vote fraud takes place. For the Democrats the old adage, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” works for them, and it’s also true that Democrats break and destroy everything they touch and never fix them!
“So the rules have to be identical; and unfortunately, they’re not identical. They’re selectively imposed and enforced.”
Dersh is one of the last honest liberals.
Alan is right. Justice is supposed to be applied equally, but its obviously not.
1773 repeat
Clearly not violence by black males and Antifa, but white supremacists.
Khaki pants wearing white supremacists...yep.
So there is no misinformation either.
Just one magazine emptied into actual rioters will defuse a riot.
They’re already planning Trump’s Third Impeachment.
Yes, but Antifa and BLM have the FBI, the Pentagon, and many local D.A.'s on their side. Not to mention Big Tech, which will allow the Left to organize flash riots via social media, but censor any conservative attempts to expose what really happened at the riot.
The globalists have complete control now and they aren’t going to give it up.
Burning Looting Mobs and Antifa are their Brown Shirts, except they mostly wear black, so I suppose we could call them Black Shirts (and pants and backpacks and masks).
