Re: trump off the CO ballot

[snip] https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/michael-cohen-pleads-guilty-manhattan-federal-court-eight-counts-including-criminal-tax I only write walls of text. I don't read them. However, for anyone interested, if you follow President Bush's link, you can see the source of all of the words he quote...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

If he becomes President he just pardons himself and gets off scot free. If he becomes President, it means that the President is above the law - that the law does not apply. In other words, a king. The President can't pardon state crimes. But.....I'm pretty sure if he becomes President again, one wa...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

Didn't Michael Cohen spent three years in federal prison for his crimes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noJo-bJ5V8A&list=RDnoJo-bJ5V8A&start_radio=1 I'll share something I didn't know until last week. I'm not sure why I didn't know it. It's really important in understanding this case, but ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

"Barron Trump snubs father Donald in bold move that could impact presidential election" I suspected, and I already looked to verify. Barron turned down a chance to be a convention delegate. It wasn't a snub. It wasn't bold. It won't have any impact on the presidential election. But other t...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Be careful what you wish for. More than anything else, the verdict makes me nervous for the future. Republicans will come out with guns blazing. Hopefully, just metaphorically, but you never know about the fringe. As for the verdict itself, I think fraud ...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

It's a weird case, because there's no real dispute about what happened. It's just a case of whether what happened was a crime. In theory, juries don't decide that. The judge tells them what is or is not a crime, and the jury decides whether the defendant did that. It seemed to me that the judge's in...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

It's in the jury's hands. I would be very surprised at any result other than hung jury. The interesting thing I find is that, really, no one around here seems to care. Sure Fox News talks about the trial as a witch hunt, while CNN analysts sagely nod while describing that the case against Trump is v...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Isn't that what we've been talking about? What Thomas wrote in Alexander : The view of equity required to justify a judicial mapdrawing power emerged only in the 1950s. The Court's 'impatience with the pace of desegregation" caused by resistance to Brown v. Board of Education' led us to approv...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

But one question that may be relevant is to what extent Brown demanded the things that Thomas criticizes. Thomas opposes actions that have been taken by courts, and that used Brown as justification. The Bar Association article emphasizes the "integrationist approach" that Thomas has critic...
