"One of America's most celebrated lawyers and a Democrat explains why impeachment proceedings would be a bad idea for America--and only intensify the larger problems with our democracy. ... The Case Against the Democratic House Impeaching Trump includes and expands upon Dershowitz's 2018 book (The Case Against Impeaching Trump). It puts recent political events--including the hyper-partisan Kavanaugh hearings, the unrestrained power of the Mueller investigation, and the generally intolerant current political discourse--into context. American democracy, Dershowitz argues, is suffering from political hypocrisy. And two years of impeachment proceedings brought by the House--and the media circus that would undoubtedly surround them--is clearly not the answer. This book is Alan Dershowitz's plea for honest dialogue--for arguments that would be made even if the shoe were on the other foot." -- jacket flap
