    You have no idea what they know and think. But for the American people Trump's name goes hand in hand with disgraceful impeachment and corruption. He's still under investigation in New York so his trail of crap never ends and follows him where ever he goes .And his bribery is still in the details of the articles.

    Checks and balance should observed by the three branches of the government, the three branches are to serve the people and not themselves and non should be above the people with the current kind of governance that we do have, therefore non of the three overpowers the others.

    I think that is what Dershowitz was saying.

    Congress has Article II oversight powers and that means that Trump must comply.

    Why would he not if he has done nothing wrong?

    He has what is called 'Executive privilege'. If the Supreme Court rules that he must comply with a specific subpoena then so be it.

    We have juries to determine guilt because we do not trust courts.

    With Pelosi squatting on the pot maybe there is time to adjudicate this prior to any senate trial.

    More election cycle nonsense. The Fake Impeachment is just another political battle ribbon that will enhance his legacy. This is what the American people know:

    MSM + Fake News + Crooked Pols = Fake Impeachment

    Aren’t juries part of the court system?

    This applies to the writings and statements of Professor Obama as well - right?

    The courts function without juries here and around the world.
    Juries are only seated to act as a check on the courts, the judges, in the UK and America.

    Juries are the forgotten men and women of the legal system, disrespected and accorded as having no importance at all by the officers of the court.

    No such post was made by myself. I thoroughly answered your question, and debunked your claim regarding subpoenas and the 2nd article of impeachment.

    A President benefits in some way - that is, "profits" - from virtually every action he takes - so your standard must be invalid, as not every action he takes is an abuse of power.
    So, again - how were -those- actions abuses of power?

    asking the same question, after it's been answered dozens of times, doesn't make you any less incorrect.

    Your statement is simplistic and incomplete.

    And the system encourages jury tampering.

    I actually read something about that possibility this morning. The Senate may argue that the articles do not meet Constitutional definitions of impeachable and send them to the SCOTUS first.

    Noah Feldman, Harvard law professor and democrat who testified before the house judiciary committee in the impeachment hearings, says that if the articles are not transmitted to the senate there is no impeachment.

    Impeachment has not yet happened.

    And I haven't the slightest idea why this text turned green.

    Sorry, but that trite meme just ain't so. The president and congresspersons are, in certain respects, above the law.

    Because they were designed to benefit Trump and no one else.
