Grouchio posted:How's the trial going, since I'm not watching it? Reasons not to impeach Donald Trump, according to Bruce Castor: 1.) the British precedents shouldn't matter, despite being discussed during the constitutional convention. 2.) Senators are patriots, just really great dudes, I listened to a Senator on a record as a kid, really good stuff. 3.) You'll get voted out if you do it. 4.) We'll impeach Eric Holder next time we get the House, he's very "articulate", right? 5.) Don't you guys have something better to do?

Going over the merits of the word "THE" in regards to the Office of the President. Edit: KENNETH STAR IS A loving JUDGE NOW? THAT SLIMEY POS? Or another Ken Starr?

I mean if they're going to parse text this much, Trump should have just hired Magic: The Gathering rules experts to argue which effects go on the stack first before combat damage is dealt in relation to the events that happened on January 6th.

According to this argument, if you take an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution" you're only bound by it if an action simultaneously does all three.

The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances", therefore you have no right to petition unless you're simultaneously peaceably assembling.

Schoen is a prime example of lawyers who are addicted to arguing and being contrary, while trying to claim it's in pursuit of some kind of morals.

Wait so impeaching the president for inciting a riot to install him as a dictator is "fear of democracy?" Cool.
