Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday took a shot at Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz over his legal arguments against the impeachment of President Donald Trump, branding his remarks as “nonsensical.”
“His characterization of the law simply is unsupported. He is a criminal law professor who stood in the well of the Senate and talked about how law never inquires into intent and that we should not be using the president’s intent as part of understanding impeachment,” said Warren, a former Harvard Law School professor, according to The Hill.
“Criminal law is all about intent. Mens rea is the heart of criminal law. That’s the very basis of it. So it makes his whole presentation just nonsensical. I truly could not follow it,” she added.

IF THERE IS NO CRIME COMMITTED, why does she even arguing about president's intent as the basis of impeachment?
Just confirms the hypothesis that Liz Warren's Harvard Law professorship was all about her high cheek bones, not about her true 'intellect'.
Perhaps she would have understood it better in Cherokee?
This proves to me that she is not that bright and has no knowledge of the issues he spoke of. This is dangerous as she wants to make things up as she goes along just like her co-horts.
Hang-on, Liz. Let me get my home-schooled 12-year-old to explain it to you.
Warren has great difficulty understanding a lot of things, including the truth...

Good grief, how much longer until this clueless, spastic scarecrow is off the stage?
I understood everything the professor has to say.
You can’t cure stupid.
She mischaracterized what he said, just so she could disagree with him. Or maybe she just doesn’t understand the law.
Maybe Comey can explain it to her!
lol
I would bet money it is the latter problem.
Every time Pocahontas opens her mouth she is living testimony as to why there should not be direct election of senators! Not that I think the Mass legislature could do any better, but they couldn’t do worse.
Not surprising.
Paleface Lizzy can’t follow the numbered dots in a children’s coloring book.
I’m an uneducated deplorable and I was able to understand it.
The tide is rising for some but she will be just one more turd washed out to sea and none to soon. Greta, beware.

Dummy Warren wants to talk about “intent”. But it’s utterly pointless because the only way they can find Trump with nefarious, self-serving intent is to imagine they can read his mind.
