[Hoot Gibson]

I just watched Alan Dershowitz deliver a blistering attack on Florida prosecutor, Angela Corey, for her misconduct in the Zimmerman case. At the time of the OJ Simpson case, I viewed Dershowitz as a left wing nut job, but my respect for him over the years has steadily grown. Aside from Mark Levin, I cannot think of any prominent attorney that I respect more than Dershowitz. Based on his political beliefs, one might have expected him to have supported Obama's position in this case but he has remained critical of the decision to prosecute Zimmerman from the beginning.

Dershowitz believes that the DOJ should investigate the denial of civil rights that Zimmerman suffered because of the prosecutorial misconduct of Corey. He believes that her behavior warrants disbarment and that the original prosecutor and police chief made the right decision in not filing charges. This was not the first time that Dershowitz has publicly slammed Corey and tonight he said that she had contacted the Harvard Law School and demanded that he be disciplined. He extended an invitation to Corey to come to Harvard and explain her actions to his class of law students.

Corey has to be a total idiot to think that Harvard would take any action against Dershowitz for exercising his First Amendment rights. Dershowitz carries a lot of weight among liberals. I am not sure that Obama and Holder want to take Dershowitz on and watch him blast the decision on the cable news networks. I would not be surprised to see Dershowitz join Zimmerman's team of lawyers if the DOJ decides to file civil rights charges against him. He says that those laws generally apply only to government denying civil rights and that there is no way for one individual to deny civil rights to another individual.
