TALE OF TWO CONSTITUTIONS

I have watched as these two Harvard university professors intellectually butt heads over the past years. One is Alan Dershowitz and the other is Lawrence Tribe, both long time iconic Constitutional interpreters and legal experts.
And my determination over the years is that Mr. Dershowitz is a true Objective and neutral Civil Libertarian who I have learned to pay attention to when he evaluates how a case will tend to go and the ending result. Especially when the case has to do with Supreme Court case determinations. And I do not always agree with his interpretations of certain Amendments of the Constitution, the Second Amendment being one of them.
Mr. Tribe, I have found is one of those more "progressive" Liberal more Left leaning lawyer professors who calls himself a civil Libertarian but is more Subjective. And his legal and Constitutional interpretations are more biased depending on the case he is commenting on and someone who uses the Constitution as a weapon against itself.
Here I have copied the first paragraphs of each Daily Caller articles about both men's opinions regarding the Harvard University controversy around how the university administration treats the subject of free speech and the rights of EVERYONE who attends the institution to be safe, not intimidated and unmolested. Seems like a pretty simple job for a university, allow free speech and keep those attending your institution safe and unmolested. But no, Harvard University tends towards the "Destroy the Patriarchy" "We Hate White Men" and every and anything that is a result of their historical legacy.
"Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax Monday that Harvard’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over frozen federal funding is a political maneuver with little legal merit and an outcome that’s all but certain."
"Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe said Tuesday that President Donald Trump threatening Harvard University’s federal funding mirrors how Adolf Hitler and other autocrats have targeted universities."
I think you can see my point about how the two men tend to interpret the Constitution. One Objectively sees Harvard Universities treatment of the Jewish students Rights to be safe on their campus as being essential, paramount and fundamental. And the other Subjectively sees the "Rights" of people who are opposed to the state of Israel to endanger and deny the Jewish students their education through not only protests but from those who run the institution and formulate and administer policy.
Inaction by the Harvard administration in the face of clear and vigorous and sometimes violent bias is to support the denial of Rights for all.
What is the secret sauce concept contained within the Constitution that makes it so powerful as it relates to the individual, their Rights and their freedom? The Constitution formulates a theory of governance, law and justice in Objectivity. (A monarchy structures a Subjective theory of governance, law and justice. America is not a monarchy)
When someone, anyone in law enforcement, the legal field, law and justice, the political world, the media and in the public tends to interpret the Constitution in a Subjective manner that serves their biased interests then that becomes a threat to every American and their family's freedom and their Constitutionally enumerated Rights.
The Constitution is a weapon specifically designed against oppression and is the counterbalance to the abuse of power. And anyone who either through ignorance or agenda turns that intent from Objective to Subjective and self-serving then the danger to everyone's freedom and Rights must be recognized and called out.
Are you starting to get it now?
Are you paying attention yet America? JGL 4/23/25
