evilweasel posted:yeah, and you'd need to be a loving idiot to think nancy pelosi is a bipartisan decorum person. during the obama years she was always the much more hard-nosed no compromises dem leader, got the house to pass all sorts of liberal stuff that didn't pass the senate, and successfully denied republicans support on innumerable occasions by keeping her caucus united Pelosi tut-tutted Maxine Waters over the latter telling people to rightfully make GOP officials uncomfortable in public.

Seven Hundred Bee posted:does anyone honestly think that trump has any sense of the legal jeopardy he's in from Mueller, or that he has the intelligence to execute a convoluted plan to stop Mueller? he governs by impulse. that's pretty much his only driving motivation. He's not in any legal jeopardy since presidents can't be indicted. Impeachment and removal are political processes, not legal ones. He's also not in political jeopardy. The GOP Senate doesn't have to act if The House impeaches Trump, and even if they did, there is no scenario where two-thirds of the Senate votes to convict. Please let me know if I'm incorrect here, but it seems that the Republicans can pack the Supreme Court starting in January if they hold together. Theoretically, Trump could nominate 30 new Justices, a few GOP senators would balk, the rest vote to nominate, the court arbitrarily decides the constitution allows for Trump to be dictator, the actual text of the document be damned. Alternatively, maybe we do have a nominal 2020 election, but not a free and fair one. With voter suppression and other means of cheating, even 2018 was fishy in some areas, like GA, FL, ND, much of Texas. What about these scenarios seems implausible? Also, is there a thread for exploring options to expatriate from the US?

Armack posted:He's not in any legal jeopardy since presidents can't be indicted. Impeachment and removal are political processes, not legal ones. you're incorrect for a variety of reasons, including assuming facts that aren't decided (indictment of potus), claiming that the Senate could refuse to hold a trial after a president has been impeached by the house (it's not optional), and your entire hypo about packing the court is wrong because the size is set by statute and not determined by the president eke out fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Nov 7, 2018 |
