Alan Dershowitz Puzzled by Courts Overstepping into Trump’s Presidential Powers

(American Political Report)—A legal expert expressed confusion and concern over recent judicial actions that he believes significantly encroach upon the authority of President Donald Trump.

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, speaking on “Hannity,” highlighted what he sees as an unusual level of judicial interference. Dershowitz argued that the courts are stepping into areas traditionally reserved for executive decision-making, particularly in matters related to Trump’s actions while in office.

“The courts are intruding significantly into the core areas of presidential authority,” Dershowitz stated. He was particularly critical of judicial decisions that he believes set a dangerous precedent by undermining the separation of powers, a cornerstone of American governance.

Dershowitz pointed to several cases where courts have ruled against Trump, including issues related to national security and immigration policies. He questioned the legality and the long-term implications of these rulings, suggesting that they might deter future presidents from making bold executive decisions for fear of judicial overruling.

He emphasized the importance of judicial restraint, warning that unchecked judicial activism could lead to a weakening of the executive branch’s ability to act decisively. “There has to be some deference to the president’s authority,” Dershowitz argued, adding that while no one is above the law, the courts must recognize the constitutional powers of the presidency.

The discussion also touched on the potential politicization of the judiciary, with Dershowitz suggesting that some decisions might reflect political biases rather than purely legal considerations. He called for a return to judicial norms where courts respect the executive’s domain unless there’s clear evidence of constitutional violation.

This commentary comes at a time when debates over the balance of power among the branches of government are increasingly prominent, especially in light of actions taken by the judiciary in high-profile cases involving President Trump.

The Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, is especially being targeted as the group, led by Elon Musk, attempts to remove government waste. At a time when our national debt is skyrocketing and corruption is rampant in Washington DC, the activist judiciary needs to sit this one out.
