being a lazy ass, you never switched parties.

I've listened to your "contributions" and interviews on NYC's RW radio station, WABC, with Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby. You didn't even try to hide your proclivities towards Trump, pulling away from The Constitution, and denying your personal foibles.

A lot of us are not surprised except for maybe not being more forthcoming.

and when the hell were you EVER an actual Democrat? Still butt-hurt that the Martha's Vineyard crowd want nothing to do with you? -- Even after a decade (or more) of showing why NO ONE should want anything to do with you?

Yeah, DO take it personally because it has nothing to do with your immutable features including race, religion, ethnicity. It has only to do with YOU, Dershowitz.

To be fair, I don't believe there's evidence that he " fucked children"...He was on his legal team, which I think was enough to turn people against him.

Some Democrat.

Democrat is not just something you check on a form. It is a state of mind, a philosophy of standing together to help each other, a belief that government can make life better for its citizens.

Maybe he’s trying to persuade a few repubs to leave that party. Allan might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

There was a time when I supported Israel, but they cured me by being so incredibly brutal in their actions.
I don't consider myself hostile toward Israel, I've just come to the conclusion that they aren't deserving of my support.
They've become a terrorist state.

I've seen such people in academia - they figure out what the consensus is on an issue, and then take the opposite view for attention. Money is sometimes involved, but it doesn't have to be.

(This is different from crackpottery. Crackpots believe what they say. Contrarians might not.)

I thus expect him to start saying things that run counter to Republican orthodoxy. It's in his nature to do so.
