Dem. Sen. Hirono: "I Don't Care About Legal or Constitutional Defenses Trump Team Has"

Considering trump this article 2 let’s him do whatever he wants, I don’t think anyone should listen to his legal claims

 

Debatable, but irrelevant to the impeachment articles.

Prof. Dershowitz disagrees with you.

No he didn't. Do you think Lincoln should have been impeached for withdrawing Union soldiers at the height of the Civil War solely so they could return to IN and vote GOP in an election?

 

Should we ignore legal claims in all our courts? It's what China does.

 

But you haven't done so.

 

Nah just witnesses lol

 

It's sad - and ironic - that the Democrats believe taking a legitimate policy position or action that may have a positive effect on re-election is an impeachable offense.

 

Dershowitz himself stated that there probably is nobody in law that agrees with him that the presidet is abvoe the law.

Another Republican president used his power to affect an election?

Shocking, I tell you.

 

So, a president should be allowed to use out tax dollars in the president's reelection campaign?

Are there ANY limits to what a president may do with the power of our government?

 

She isn't white. She can say whatever she pleases so just get used to it!

 

You mean investigating Biden corruption?

Of course.

 

Nice slice and dice!!!

But, when you work that hard to totally misrepresent what someone is saying, it really reflects on you.

 

There is no evidence of Biden corruption. That was a conspiracy theory created to smear Biden.

According to Dershowitz, Trump is totlly above the law.

It's even been argued by Republican officials that if Trump sees his own reelection as important for the US, then wha he does to achieve that can't be considered a assault on our democracy!!!!

Republicans are moving us toward a far more powerful president - a president who is above the law and who can defy congress.

We used to believe in the rule of law.

 

There are no crimes in the articles of impeachment.

Attacked our democracy ??? How did he do that ??? This purely partisan impeachment is an attack on our Constitutional Republic form of government. The former Democratic Party is now known as the Banana Republic Party.

 

Other than Biden's video confession.

He never said that.

Presidents have always pushed back against Congressional overreach, it's the judiciary's role to settle such disputes. George Washington ignored a Congressional subpoena.

How do you feel about Sanctuary Cities?

 

She never ceases to amaze me her lack of knowledge of history and the Constitution and she actually practiced law.

 

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP

 

TODAY, when we have a lot of liberal partisan law professors. He said in the 1800s, much closer to the time of the Founders, the consensus agreed with Dershowitz's opinion.

How did it affect the election? Biden won't be the nominee, he's in fourth place in IA.

 

He ABSOLUTELY said that.

He said that if a president believes that his own reelection is in the best interests of the country, then whatever he does to further that end can't be considered illegal.

I'll talk about sancturary cities every time I see a thread about that.

Here, I'll just state that there is no comparison between that and the case at hand.

 

Are you now AGREEING that he said that?

Yes. Biden looks like a loser in IA.

Trump set out to damage Biden's chances. Now we can see the damage that clarifies why Trump's illegal campaign activity is impeachable. He took illegal action with the purpose of damaging a candidate and it worked.

 

Don't you know that Congress Critters can't be impeached? They can only be expelled by their own members in each chamber.

 

Civics knowledge isn't really a feature of this thread - or, it would seem, the Republican party in general.

 

That's complete BS. You are repeating the lie told by the intellectually dishonest Schiff and Schumer. Pundits went over the cliff comparing Dershowitz's comments to Stalin and Hitler. And you unashamedly parrot those idiotic claims.

After that idiot statement she should be disbarred.

 

Impeachment damaged Biden.

 

Bunk, see the link above to the WSJ article by Dershowitz where he corrects this lie.

Dodge noted, so much for your concern about the rule of law.
