Dershowitz is basically correct, but each senator should make up his own mind about whether what Trump did was in the public interest or not.
If it was only about corruption in general, and didn't affect things on Ukraine's front lines, maybe it was in the US public interest.
But if it was just specific to the Bidens and crowdstrike, that's not in the US public interest at all.  That's partisan.

I didn't take it to mean that at all. 

If the claim is that the president's re-election is in the national interest, therefore doing whatever necessary to achieve said re-election (inferring that includes the solicitation of foreign assistance in doing so) isn't impeachable...that's a hell of a slippery slope. 

Am I not hearing the Dershword Salad with ranch correctly?
