    All very true, although the issue was impeaching judges, not political figures who have a completely different set of impeaching rules.

    As I tried to explain nothing -- absolutely nothing nohow -- was unconstitutional about what SCOTUS did with the TX abortion law case. The Constitution says absolutely and unequivocally nothing about the legalities of granting or not granting injunctions.

    As Col. Potter used to say on M.A.S.H., horse pucky. While unconstitutional behavior by a prez is not a requirement for impeachment the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove the prez, vice prez, and all federal civil officers for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Not political stances. Liz Cheney supported your Dear Leader's impeachment because she viewed "what Donald Trump did (as) the most dangerous thing, the most egregious violation of an oath of office of any president in our history." She is right.

    The 5 conservative SC justices who allowed a blatantly unconstitutional abortion restriction law in TX to stand. A violation of their oath.

    It isn't for you to determine if a law is unconstitutional. It is for the Justices on the Supreme Court. Them and no others.

    A prior SCOTUS did RULE that the TX law was UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    The Roberts SCrOTUS violated their OATH to UPHOLD the Constitution.

    We the People have the RIGHT to hold Roberts and his fellow BETRAYERS of the Constitution ACCOUNTABLE for their violation of their DUTY to our Constitution.

    Facts matter!

    All impeachments seem to be arbitrary or, at least, seem to be way more political than what should be the only federal motivation for impeachment: the dealing with the unconstitutional behavior of a federal elected official.

    The last few impeachments of Trump were of a strictly political nature. Leaders in the house didn't like Trump's politics (even though the states duly elected Trump as president) so the authoritarians in the house impeached Trump.:roll:

    How is the Texas law unconstitutional?

    And how did the Supreme Court violate their oath? Not just anyone has the standing to file a suit with the SC.

    Twenty-four Democratic attorneys general made clear that they support the Justice Department’s legal challenge against Texas’ anti-abortion law in an amicus brief filed Wednesday.

    In their amicus brief, the group led by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey argued that Texas’ new six-week abortion ban is in “direct contravention” of the Supreme Court precedent affirming the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy prior to viability, which the court recognized in its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.

    “Today, virtually no one can obtain an abortion in Texas,” the brief reads. “In order to obtain abortion care, patients now have to travel out-of-state, which makes abortion for many people too difficult, too time-intensive, and too costly.”

    No. Extorting a foreign government and inciting an insurrection reach far beyond politics, and are some of the most egregious high crimes ever committed by a POTUS.

    Ah, so the SC isn't necessarily the final authority on what is and isn't constitutional. Glad we finally got that cleared up.

    Oh, is that why the impeachment(s) never removed Trump from office?...That the proof was obvious to anyone but the Trump cult?:roflol: I think you have it backward...It's obvious the Trump-hating cult thinks Trump is guilty.:roll:..There was never any proof of Trump being guilty.

    Asking that question increases the odds you'll be among those attending this weekend's pro-insurrectionist rally.

    Come now. Everyone knows why Senate Repubs did not vote to impeach. Don't be coy.

    Some Senate GOPs did vote for impeachment. On the other hand, McConnell the fool, thought Trump's offense didn't rise to the level of impeachment. Problem is: no one ever proved Trump did anything to rise to the level of impeachment.

    If Democrats want a national law guaranteeing abortion access throughout the county, why haven't' they ever passed one? They have controlled both House of Congress and the Presidency, many times, and do now, so draft the law you want and put it to a vote in Congress. But, Dems can't get it through Congress so instead they attack Our Independent Judiciary.
