Did you watch the clip I already posted? It has clips of Dershowitz making his "national interest" argument.
Yes, but not in defense of what you were describing upthread. That "the POTUS sets policy in the national interest, as he sees it. If he sees it in the national interest to overturn the election, and stay in office, that makes it OK." That's not what Dershowitze said, or at least not in those ten-second snippets. That's why I asked for the link.
He already tried to overturn an election. In the impeachment, Adam Schiff said "if this isn't impeachable, nothing is". Trump was acquitted anyway. Why would Trump think he would *not* get away with it a second time? Trump is completely unrestrained.
Again, that's not the question. It's not whether Trump wants to serve a third term or would be willing to try to get a third term. It's whether there's any remotely conceivable plausible chance that anyone else would go along with it. Just because the Senate acquitted Trump over Jan 6 does not in any way mean that any Senator believes that Trump can just cancel elections and declare himself President in 2029.
If someone wants to argue that Trump might try some cockamamie thing in late 2028, fail, but not have any consequences for that - I can 100% believe that. If someone wants to argue that there exists any cockamamie thing that Trump might try that would succeed? I haven't heard any scenario, at all, that would fit that bill...
