Chris Wallace kept kicking up liberal dogma he and his old man shared and Dershowitz shot them all down with Constitutional law or conservative precedence. Then Alan said he’s a Liberal Democrat. Sorry, professor. You may HAVE been but that party has moved so far left you are now a conservative centrist against your will.
Dersh is like Scalia in that his devotion is to the law and constitution. Scalia would have defended a liberal idea or law so long as it was based on original principles and that’s how it should be.
Modern Liberals aren’t classical liberals.
Liberal Democrats are pretty much extinct these days.
In fact American Liberalism and American Conservatism are actually more alike then different, you can research this out and will discover that both share a lot of fundamentals and common beliefs. The problem is Liberal is misapplied to these scum bag commie leftist democrats, they are NOT Liberals.
If you research Classical Liberalism, it is basically American Conservatism of today. Also the terms don’t always mean what they mean here and lets say European countries. Over there (Europe) conservatives could mean conserving the power of the government/state, where as here conservative means conserving the liberties of the individual.
