War on drugs (actually a war on blacks). --> used to allow civil asset forfeiture. War on terror (actually war on freedoms). --> used to remove loads of freedoms (privacy, allowed torture or "enhanced interrogation", etc.). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Civil asset forfeiture was promoted by Reagan, another Republican. Republicans might have "manufactured" the fear to take away rights but in 2020-- drum roll -- the Democrats are "doing it" And keep doing it. Jackson Lee has just introduced a bill on gun rights and she'll move the bills through. That's when Texas will rise up! The Democrats don't ban our rights like the authoritarian governments do, they use the media, Big Tech, the courts and illegitimate voting practices. Soon, D.C. will be a state, and Biden has 3 so-called "experts" already sitting in place to start the 15 member commission for the SCOTUS term limits and/or adding liberals the court. When Pelosi pulls out the HR1 bill all hell is going to break loose. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey Brown + 208 JB February 9, 2021 Charles Cooper: He argued that because the Constitution allows the Senate to bar officials convicted of impeachable offenses from holding public office again in the future, “it defies logic to suggest that the Senate is prohibited from trying and convicting former officeholders.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump’s lawyers, and others here, argued that the Constitution does not provide for impeachment of a former president. The Senate voted 56-44 that the trial is constitutional. Just like I said it was, fancy that... Do I need to spell it out more for you? Trumps legal team lost their first line of defence.

Jeffrey Brown + 208 JB February 9, 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Symmetry said: Trumps legal team lost their first line of defence. GOP Senator Bill Cassidy basically said that Trump's legal team's performance was horrendous. Cassidy voted with the Democrats on the motion. And BTW, this was interesting: Trump impeachment lawyer Bruce Castor Jr. explicitly acknowledged Biden won the presidency. As some observers in the Twitterverse noted, if Trump still had his Twitter account Castor probably would have been Tweet fired this afternoon. Of course, between Trump's flagrant lies, his irrational behavior, and his tendency not to pay his bills, he's probably lucky to have found any lawyers to represent him who can still fog a mirror Edited February 9, 2021 by Jeffrey Brown 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoMack + 549 JM February 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Symmetry said: Trump was impeached during his term. Look it up - facts matter. Plus it's not "can be impeached" he is already impeached. When it comes to things like statute of limitations all that matters is if the proceedings were started during the allowed time-frame. No getting off on a technicality here. CONSTITION: Article II, Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United "shall" be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and "Conviction" of Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. So, exactly what is the point of this circus show since the Senate will "not" convict with 2/3rds of the Senate that is a FACT. When Justice Roberts told Schumer "hell no, I'm not going to remove a President that isn't the "President" since he's now in Florida playing golf! you can parse words all you want, but when all is said and done it's a side show to hide their ineptitude. The only thing I wish would happen is that if they are going to do this, I want them to drag it on for 4 years so Biden can't fk up the country any more than he has over the last 3 freaking weeks. BTW, do you actually live in this country? "Statute of limitations" is not relevant in this matter in any way, shape or form. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turbguy + 1,544 February 9, 2021 (edited) I find it of some interest that Mr. Trump's lawyers argue quite well, he was removed from office by the voters. The truth is refreshing. I would like to hear how Donald reacts to that argument. Off topic, I also note that Parler is still "unfunctional".

And Twitterverse comments: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-defense-lawyer-baffles-viewers-with-confounding-meandering-opening-argument-just-ad-libbing/ For example: Andy McCarthy @AndrewCMcCarthy Lawyer for the former POTUS who maintains that the election was stolen argues that there’s no need to disqualify that former POTUS because the American people just voted him out of office.
