Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax TV: Texas Lawsuit 'Very Doubtful'

Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax TV: Texas Lawsuit 'Very Doubtful'

Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax TV on Tuesday that Texas’ attempt to sue multiple other states over the 2020 presidential election is a “creative approach,” that “almost certainly” won’t overturn the results of the election."

Dershowitz noted on “John Bachman Now” that the U.S. Constitution allows a state to sue another state, but “it rarely happens and it almost never succeeds, but it’s a very creative approach.”

He added that the argument that Texans have been deprived of their rights is “a stretch,” adding that “it’s never been tried before,” but “it probably will be taken seriously by the Supreme Court. Will it result in an undoing of the election? Almost certainly not.”

Dershowitz said, “will the Supreme Court take the case? Who knows. They’re never had it like this presented before, this is all novel. The whole case is a first impression. A+ for creativity, but whether or not it will work in the end is very doubtful.”

He also said that the court could strike down the safe harbor deadline, which is on Tuesday, as unconstitutional, but said he could not be sure if that would happen.
