Dershowitz has been spitting out delusional legal takes for several years now. None of that is stunning to his critics. We expect it of him at this point.

From what I’ve read one thing that makes this jury selection unusual is that in most criminal cases they’d just disqualify anyone who was familiar with the defendant or had been personally impacted by that defendant’s actions. Not an option in this case; all they can do is try to find jurors who promise to set aside their biases. Maybe that has the counterintuitive effect of speeding up the process instead of slowing it down?

For anyone who doesn’t want to follow the link, here’s what he said:
I thought STRIKES were supposed to be “unlimited” when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country. Don’t worry, we have the First Worst also, as the Witch Hunt continues! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
I don’t believe for one second that Trump actually thought this. But he knows his hardcore supporters are morons and will now start complaining about how Trump is being treated unfairly because he hasn’t been allowed unlimited peremptory challenges.

The rules probably differ depending on the jurisdiction.
In Ontario, decades ago, when I was up for jury duty, I think even seated jurors could challenge potential jurors, but I really doubt that happens very often, unless their BO was quite pungent in the jury pool waiting area.
Not that that excuses Don Snorelione. He could have easily asked his lawyers. In fact, the judge probably explained the process to the potential jurors while he was dozing.

The number varies, but no jurisdiction allows unlimited peremptory challenges. That would allow a defendant to delay the trial indefinitely. They are allowed an unlimited number of challenges for cause.

Il Douche’s acolytes scrambling furiously to find enough info to dox some more jurors and delay, delay, delay. I fear they have now figured out how this could work. No jury, no trial.
