I'm shocked that the loving dumbest and most wildly incompetent person in the world was elected president. I'm in awe of how absolutely loving dumb this man is, every day.

What makes inherent contempt more condemnatory than just, y'know, garden-variety contempt?

I can imagine Giuliani responding to this by screaming "OH YEAH?", taking a massive rip off the jenkem bottle in the corner, and calling to book himself an interview on MSNBC.

exquisite tea posted:They're gonna do another impeachment poll a week from now and 95% of Republican voters will say "actually conspiring with foreign nations to get dirt on a political opponent is totally cool, and very legal" just like everything else Trump has done. The Republicans will never, ever abandon Trump because whatever he does pulls their voters in the same direction. I don't think this is the best time to being to be going all nothing matters on us

Fritz Coldcockin posted:What makes inherent contempt more condemnatory than just, y'know, garden-variety contempt? I think inherent contempt refers to Congress' inherent power to enforce their subpoenas by their own police (the sergeant-at-arms), rather than needing to go to the DOJ to arrest the person for contempt.

Can someone with a subscription explain the logic here. Johnson hosed up reconstruction, so that's a high bar. Not doubting Trump can pass that bar, but wondering on how they think he'll do it. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1179003530776055819

Basically Johnson didn't have the sort of absolute party-line backing Trump does, and especially didn't have the propaganda media that Trump does. Trump can just do whatever he wants and the GOP lickspittles will fall in line and Fox will trumpet it, Johnson didn't have that.

I read that last bit as "Calling himself to book himself on MSNBC" ...at this point I totally could believe in Guliani straight up calling up a second phone in his pocket to talk to himself to schedule something.

Inferior Third Season posted:It's only a constitutional crisis if the House tries to use inherent contempt, and the police/Secret Service prevent the sergeant-at-arms from making an arrest or a Trump-appointed judge sides with Giuliani. It will be like a semi-crisis if they start issuing financial penalties and don't get paid.

Rent-A-Cop posted:What do we think are the odds of Rudy causing a constitutional crisis by ignoring the House? Rudy ignoring the house isn't a constitutional crisis. He's not a member of the government and the congressional powers and response are extremely clear. The crisis will come when the justice department refuses to haul him in.

What does "Doctor" Sebastian Gorka have to offer, I mean of course he's the holder of the sacred cup of Attila and probably could use his Vetenzi Rend contacts to smooth things out, or maybe offer diplomats rides in his sweet mustang?
