Senate trial predictions

And if he doesn’t show up, it demonstrates it is nothing more than a show trial of an American citizen.

It’s time to start describing this fake impeachment as exactly what it is.

A fraud.

An evidence lacking UnConstitutional show trial designed by a group of power hungry left wing thugs to persecute a political opponent.

It’s disgusting.

@Camp

It isn’t even an environmentally wise decision.

Think Exxon Valdez vs Alaska Pipeline.

I hope that the lawsuits are able to reverse this.

Republicans and conservatives need to do what libs spent four years doing under trump.

Go shopping for a friendly judge to put a stay on idiotic moves like shutting that pipeline down.

@Camp

I agree.

Trump sloppy rhetoric can hardly be counted on for the heavy lifting.

Nobody can tell the President to shut up about losing.

Congressional security can and has discouraged similar crowds.

Trump Presidency continues as a residue into February.

There is a first amendment right to protest, whether right or wrong. Democrats knew that last summer. They also were fine if peripheral actions by small groups resulted in burning buildings. We were told you could only blame the bad actors for that.
If it can be documented that Trump told those idiots to break into the Capitol illegally then consider impeachment (of a non office holder)? Otherwise, maybe we should expel Congress persons who want to interfere with the first amendment right to protest…since we are taking extreme action against everyone we disagree with.
Is there a remedy for Trump alleging that the election was stolen? Sure. Don’t vote for him again.

I like Joe, but I have to agree with this. The pipeline thing will not help unity, it is nothing more than an appeasement of the AOCs of the world.

Actions like to pipeline thing…coupled with the stupid UnConstitional impeachment the left seems committed to show just how big a lie the whole unity thing is.

I quoted it.

Question: Without Trump’s incitement, does Jan 6th happen?

Without legal protests over alleged police actions, do burning buildings happen?

Except 10 Republicans also voted to impeach Trump. It’s well deserved and it’s needed to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Trump spent 60 days pouring gas on his supporters with claims of voter fraud and on Jan 6th he pointed them at the Capitol and lit the match.

Even Mitch McConnell has said Trump provoked the riot. This is not the partisan witch hunt you are making it out to be. There needs to be accountability/responsibility for what happened.

In 2020, no. Who called for the legal protest on Jan 6th? Also Trump.

Now you want to answer my question?

The impeachment is not unConstitutional. Nothing about it is.

The people who planned the January 6 events well in advance of a Trump’s speech that day and the people who entered the capital prior to the end if Trump’s speech need to be arrested and prosecuted.

No it’s not. Our elections are going to continue to be close. We need to set the precedent that Trump’s behavior was unacceptable.

It will do no such thing. It won’t even be tried if the President’s party has the House.

What penalty did Clinton pay?

That’s not what I’m saying Sneak. I mean being able to incite your supporters with unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. We need to draw a line that it is unacceptable behavior.

It isn’t going to happen. It will be dems next time.

Which dems were held accountable for their rhetoric over the summer?

Which for the collusion delusion?

[Camp]

Trump might want to have a rally or two after the virus.

He is off twitter…he can’t get elected…he will be able to peaceably assemble.

Work with him. Make a deal.

Did I imply anything?

@zantax

Law is legal semantics.

To come back to this, I just remembered something one of my professors mentioned right at the start of law school, that highlights a problem with a purely semantic analysis of law: The word “shall”.

In most legal contexts, “shall” means “must” - or “is obliged to”. X shall do Y, with X representing an agency and Y an act they are obligated to do.

The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

But sometimes “shall” means something different:

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,

The meaning of “shall” is different here - describing not an obligation, but a privilege. The President is not obligated to command the Army and Navy - they are obligated to follow his (or her) commands.

Another example:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States:

If we interpret this semantically, we get this:

No title of nobility must be granted by the United States, or No title of nobility is obligated to be granted by the United States.

Both of those interpretations imply that the United States can grant titles of nobility, they are just not obligated to do so.

Hillary is clean as a whistle.

They ran Bleach Bit through her soul too? They can do that?

I disagree with your exceptions.
