Is Elon Musk’s Involvement with Doge Legal? w/ Alan Dershowitz

“There’s a perception,” Dershowitz notes, “that when Biden takes executive action, it’s seen as governance, while similar actions by Trump are labeled authoritarian.”

Jillian welcomes Alan Dershowitz, one of the most influential legal minds in America. A Harvard Law professor emeritus, renowned constitutional scholar, and best-selling author, Dershowitz has spent decades defending civil liberties, analyzing Supreme Court cases, and discussing how legal standards evolve in political contexts. Though a lifelong liberal, he has been unafraid to call out inconsistencies in how legal principles are applied based on political convenience.

Dershowitz offers his legal perspective on key constitutional debates, including the limits of executive power and the ongoing legal battles involving former President Trump. He examines how past administrations exercised executive authority and why similar actions today face different legal challenges. The discussion also touches on debates surrounding birthright citizenship, security clearances, federal government restructuring, government efficiency proposals (including those discussed by Elon Musk), and education policy reform.

Additionally, Dershowitz explores broader questions about the judiciary’s role, government accountability, and how legal interpretations shift over time. Is the application of the law evolving fairly, or are legal principles being enforced selectively?

I’m shocked on how many people are supporting the congress racketeers over DOGE! Clean up the dirty departments.

[josephstabile]

Alan Dershowitz is exactly right. We should either curse or bless someone by saying to them; May you be treated tomorrow the way you treat people today.

[StopTheWorld]

Finally, someone pointed out the hypocrisy.

[Wildster]

Elon needs to sue the ones calling him a Nazi.

[randominsights]

DOGE is making recommedations. The elected president and the confirmed department chairs are the ones making the cuts.

[guidichris]

It’s only a problem when Trump does it.

To me, this is no different than hiring a think-tank to audit. He's a special consultant. There are forms in triplicate for that.

The last one was the Jacksonian era. We are now experiencing the Trump era. Things are drastically changing. It's like reading my favorite book, one page per day. Exciting.

Thank you Jillian and Mr Dershowitz for doing this clip. Hopefully there's a leftist or liberal Democrat out there that will comprehend this simple concept. Good job!
