Impeachment: Tribe on the Dershowitz Argument

It's time to get back to impeachment.
Below is an article debunking the claim by Trump's celebrity defense lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who argues that an actual law must have been broken by the President to justify removal from office. Wrong, as Laurence Tribe, of Harvard University Law School, and perhaps the foremost constitutional scholar during my time as a lawyer, argues. BTW, Tribe's argument accords with that his current Harvard colleague Cass Sunstein (CITIZENS GUIDE TO IMPEACHMENT) and with Black & Bobbitt's IMPEACHMENT: A HANDBOOK, NEW EDITION, which I've quoted at length in earlier posts on the topic of impeachment.
Bogus arguments for a bogus client.
