So the guy who gouged the other guy’s eyes didn’t lose because he used an illegal move? I don’t understand MMA.

Umm...sometimes double standards are ok, dude.

Delay of game should be a zero yard penalty, but a loss of down. Discuss.

Yeah, it’s obviously illegal, but my point is we had to get to like the 40th obviously illegal thing until we found something that the party decided was worth doing impeachment inquiries over.

Oh I’m riled up, but this does feel a bit like getting Capone on tax evasion.

This is good news, but it does kind of prove a point that with all the shit that has gone down, what got the Democrats on board was Trump trying to fuck with the standard bearer’s son.

Frankly, probably not given the way the statute is written. Once again we don’t have laws on the books for this type of thing because the Constitution and our informal conventions didn’t contemplate that the President would behave in this manner and Congress would cover for him.

Win some elections.

We tax you at 100%.  After that we’ll figure something else.

For some reason I recall that Scalia said this was actually the preferred method of contempt.

The stadium in Bridgeview was built when the league was marketing to soccer moms in the suburbs who want to bring little Kaylen and Fixx to see “professionals” play.

Why do people think that wont happen again if Trump is impeached?

My mom voted for Gary Johnson.  My stepdad voted for Trump (and loves him). My dad didn’t vote.

Yes, because at worst, he will do whatever lawbreaking he cares about, and then have Acting President Pence pardon him on the last day of his term.

He’s got 34 Senators that will never vote to remove him from office. He’s effectively above the law. That’s all you ever really need, but of course he’s got Barr running interference as well.

If Trump gets re-elected, 2024 is going to one of his kids as a placeholder so they can get around that pesky two term limit thing.

Squad Leader : Simon Phoenix! Lie down with your hands behind your back.

I think her line of reasoning is that impeaching Trump would galvanize Republican support because humans are inherently tribal and Republicans who are soft on Trump would end up voting for him because their tribe was attacked by the other tribe.

You are of course correct. The only small check we have at the moment is the courts.

At least in terms of public sector unions they are not illegal. That is not what the case was about. It was about forcing an employee to pay the agency fee to the union for collective bargaining.
