Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said last week that his defense of President Donald Trump’s constitutional rights led to him being “shunned” by his own friends at a high-end seasonal destination.
The famed lawyer lamented the efforts to eject him from his social life at Martha’s Vineyard amid his outspoken criticism of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the alleged collusion with Russia.
In an op-ed for The Hill, Dershowitz, a frequent guest on Fox News, said that though he’s politically a liberal Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton in addition to contributing “handsomely” to her campaign, his defense of civil liberties that could benefit Trump is too much to swallow for his social circle.
“But that is not good enough for some of my old friends on Martha’s Vineyard. For them, it is enough that what I have said about the Constitution might help Trump. So they are shunning me and trying to ban me from their social life on Martha’s Vineyard."
“I never thought I would see McCarthyism come to Martha’s Vineyard, but I have. I wonder if the professor who refuses to listen to anything I have to say also treats his students similarly,” he continued. “Would he listen to a student who actively supported Trump? What about one who simply supported his civil liberties?”

It’s Your Party, and you can Cry if you want to!
Was that Al Gore? Oops my bad. Leslie Gore, RIP.
Sorry
Maybe the Crawfords or Aursberg or Von Bulow kids will have you over for tea and sympathy Allen
The closed mind provides the most perfect example of an absolutely impenetrable seal in the entire Universe.
My mind is made up, don’t confuse me with your fancy array of facts.
I go on vacation to get away from a-holes. I don’t wade into them.
Alan, go to Hampton beach like all of the other blue collar folks from Boston.
Alan, those Marxist Ba$tards don’t give a $hit that you’ve opened a tiny window in your brain to let a small amount of rational thought leak out. Your Secluar Progressive Capo buddies are happy to throw you under the bus. With them you are now part of the Trump Resistance.
Welcome to the party, Alan. Welcome to the vitriol from the left against all conservatives, white, black, hispanic or female. For as much hate as he is getting, Dershowitz might as well be a conservative. You defend Trump and you will bring the hate of the “peaceful” left down upon your head.
It is nice to see him learning the lesson first-hand rather than academically.
mixed feelings about Alan Dersherwitz. I think he is defending trump in hopes that when the arrests happen he is ignored for crimes he committed at Epstein’s island. I am not sure whether he has supported the Clintons in the past because of blackmail or if he is a real bad actor.....this man is an insider when it comes to the deep state and he is will aware of the type of crimes that committed that might be under investigation.
Queue the boo hoo girl
His trips to Epsteins Island should shun him from everywhere
Life among the tolerant, Alan.
Maybe he needs a new group of friends?
He should get with David Horowitz and compare notes.
Alan, Alan, being civilised only works for those who agree with the goals..
would cleaning the blood off a tigers teeth make it civil?
let just get to the core of ideas..we have a coup going on , if all we can do is watch it turn to total spin and bs we are done..
did he really have intercourse with a minor? I never heard that. Poor kid.
So? Go to the Jersey Shore; the price is cheaper and the girls look hotter (and don’t go posting photos of Snooki, please!!!)
Sad really, but Dersch has a soapbox. Maybe he will use it.

Alan, come to a barbeque in Txas, or a fish fry in Mississippi, or a cookout in Iowa. We’re much better people anyway, and you’d probably be transformed into a Conservative Christian dittohead! Much better way of living.
Alan, were they ever really your friends?
