To the Editor:Re “Why Did Alan Dershowitz Say Yes to Trump?” (Op-Ed, nytimes.com, Jan. 22):Stephen Harper asks why I said “yes to Trump.” I think he knows the answer, having been in my class at Harvard Law School. Throughout my career I have stood on principle, representing people with whom I disagree as well those with whom I agree. During the proceedings against President Bill Clinton, I testified in his favor and consulted with his defense team. Mr. Harper’s claim that I am not an expert in constitutional law is belied by the fact that I taught constitutional criminal procedure at Harvard Law School for nearly half a century. Were I arguing on behalf of impeachment, my credentials would not be questioned by those who question them now for partisan reasons.
