The "clock is ticking" for Trump's legal team and it is "out of timeouts" for getting its case heard by the Supreme Court before Dec. 14, when Electoral College members will vote for the presidency, Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz argued Thursday."They have to be moving very quickly to get the evidence in front of the courts if they want to get this case to the Supreme Court where they may have a 5-4 majority on some of these issues," Dershowitz said on Fox Business' "Mornings With Maria.""We have to have all the facts and all the evidence ready to go to the courts before then because the American public is entitled to know that this was a fair election in every respect and this is a nonpartisan issue," he added. "Every American should be interested in knowing that we have voter security."The retired professor said he wishes he was still teaching at Harvard because he would be able to give an entire seminar on the "constitutional creativity" Trump's attorneys are engaged in. "They're going through every aspect of the Constitution, trying to find something to hang their hats on," he said. "I would also be teaching a course on election security. This is good for the country, that we are hearing these issues being raised now. Whether it has an impact on this election or not or the January election in Georgia, it will surely have an impact on making our elections more secure in years to come."Dershowitz said he heard two facts in Wednesday's testimony that he hadn't heard, including that the number of disputed ballots exceeds the margin of victory in several states, which is the key question because until now "they didn't have the numbers."
"Now we heard of hundreds of thousands of votes that may be fraudulent," said Dershowitz. "That will require evidence. We heard yesterday on your show that by 5:30 today we will see the evidence of this kind of retail fraud. That's distinguished from wholesale challenges. The Pennsylvania case are wholesale challenges, 20,000 ballots here, 30,000 ballots here."
