• The cop persuaded Dershowitz to walk away from the pierogi booth, while the lawyer explained that his rights were being violated because they "won't sell me a pierogi," the report says. The result was a hilarious "Veep"-style comedy scene in which Dershowitz, a longtime constitutional law professor at Harvard who's famous for arguing mega-cases and fighting impeachment battles, got into a drawn-out debate with a cop at a farmer's market about whether he was legally entitled to buy dumplings — as detailed in a video of their exchange. • As a result, "Mr. Dershowitz stated he was going to spread the word to others at the market to not buy from the pierogi booth," the report states. If he did that, the officer warned, he would be asked to leave the premises, and potentially face a "No Trespass Order," the document continues. • The cop briefly left Dershowitz, who went to a nearby lemonade stand. When the officer came back, "Mr. Dershowitz was just a few feet from the lemonade booth, and when I approached, I did overhear him attempting to discourage a couple patrons from going to the pierogi booth," the police report says. Shortly after, the lawyer departed, pierogiless.

And by sanction I merely mean disqualification, as they clearly meant the prohibition to be non-punitive in nature.

"[In any other Government on earth," the Senate framers noted, the Confederate leadership "would be hung or banished, and their property would be confiscated." Indeed, some Republicans had previously urged that targeted treason prosecutions and criminal punishment of "the most prominent and most wicked" be sought as an additional deterrent measure alongside the more general and nonpunitive "safeguard" of disqualifica-tions. But that kind of program of substantial punishment for treason was already well on its way to being fully surrendered by the fecklessness and political opportunism of the Johnson administration.
