What a former student says he learned about "professional ethics" from Dershowitz....

When Dershowitz taught me professional ethics at Harvard, his overriding message was that there is almost no such thing as unethical conduct when it comes to the zealous defense of a client. The whole semester was a prolonged exercise in self-justification for low behavior.

Sounds about right...

As soon as there is a democratic president Dershowitz and the rest of the republicans will do another 180 and demand subpoenas be enforced.
