Yesterday my campaign released a long list of potential Supreme Court nominees. We included people who'd shown strength in some area of upholding individual rights and limits of federal government authority.

The response among libertarians and the broader public to most names on the list has been generally supportive. However, many rightly oppose including Alan Dershowitz.

While he has defended civil liberties and free speech, has opposed the death penalty, and has shown a willingness to put partisanship aside, his statements that torture may sometimes be acceptable and his opposition to gun rights disqualifies him from any further consideration.3/

In addition, there are unresolved questions about his association with Jeffrey Epstein. As a result, I have permanently removed Dershowitz from my list of potential nominees.
