The raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, may become a key moment in history—with its implications being felt by all Americans—depending on where the pendulum next swings, according to civil rights attorney Alan Dershowitz.

“Right now, the pendulum is swinging against the Constitution, against free speech,” Dershowitz told The Epoch Times. “If I had to put a symbol on the Justice Department, it would be, ‘Due process for me but not for thee. Free speech for me but not for thee. Equal protection for me but not for thee.’ That’s the direction in which the pendulum seems to be swinging today.”
