Giordano to Dershowitz: What Kind Of Precedent Does This Trial Set?

Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his new documentary, Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World. Riley takes us through the life of the great conservative economist Thomas Sowell, beginning with a childhood that helped shape him into the great man he became. Then, Riley tells Giordano what he believes to be Sowell’s principle legacy, to which Riley replies his hard-nosed nature that allowed him to persist as a black man pioneering an industry. Then, the conversation between Giordano and Riley turns to black conservativism and the impact that both Sowell and local economist Walter Williams had on the field, and Riley tells of the proud state of black conservatism in the country today.

Representative Jim Gregory of Pennsylvania returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the ongoing situation in Harrisburg that ultimately led to the resignation of Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar. Boockvar resigned recently following the revelation that she did not advertise a proposed constitutional amendment regarding the statute of limitations on sexual assault cases. This week, the Inquirer did an investigation into the situation and uncovered that the Wolf administration had no system in place to prevent an apparent administrative mistake like the one that led to Boockvar’s resignation. Gregory takes us inside the unfolding story and tells listeners whether or not he’d accept the results of an Inspector General investigation into the situation.

Professor Alan Dershowitz returns to the Dom Giordano Program for an update and conversation on the proceedings of the second impeachment of Donald Trump. Dershowitz gives his review of the work by Trump attorneys Bruce Castor and David Schoen, to which he was largely underwhelmed. Then, Dershowitz explains what he believes should be the strategy of the defense team, focusing more on the constitutionality and precedent that such an impeachment would hold over American politics. Finally, Dershowitz takes listeners into the life of lawyers who represent controversial clients.
