On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said he hopes President Trump’s Supreme Court pick is “a libertarian conservative, a true conservative,” who believes in individual rights and respects precedents.
Dershowitz said, “I hope he’s looking for a libertarian conservative, a true conservative, who elevates the rights of individual over the power of government. A true conservative also respects precedent, doesn’t come to the court with an agenda, with a list of issues that he wants to see changed. A true conservative is not a judicial activist. So, I think he can broaden his base, help unite the country, if he picks a true conservative, who really believes in liberty and who believes precedent. That’s what true conservatism is on the bench.”
