I have never once told you "the Left is for civil liberties and all that." So there is no need to tell you again.

You emphasize the "didn't commit any violence" aspect. Not every crime is a violent crime and there are lots of people in jail for committing crimes that are not crimes of violence.

No, he is not still in jail because he appeared on 60 minutes. He is still in jail because he broke the judge's rule when he appeared on 60 Minutes. The rule breech may seem frivolous to you, but it does not seem frivolous to the judge who imposed the rule. Frankly, they guy was just stupid to...

On Dec 1, 2020, Trump's Attorney General William Barr declared, "... the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election." While that is not court litigation, it weighs in favor of free, fair and transparent. Also...

Yep, and that's part of why I trust the courts. Judges are fully vetted before they are confirmed. While the majority of senators may favor one judicial approach over another, and accordingly confirm their judicial picks, senators of all stripes seem to do a pretty good job of picking people who...

Yes, I suppose it is all opinions. But how else can it be? When one side is arguing one opinion about how the facts should be interpreted, and the other side is arguing a different opinion, what other mechanism is available for society to have a ruling made? That's exactly what judges and juries...

The timing of the competency hearing was determined by Chansley's attorney as the hearing is being held at the attorney's request. The judge agreed to have such a hearing AFTER it was requested. Chansley's attorney initiated the process to have this hearing, not the judge and not the prosecution.

"Jacob Anthony Chansley, a.k.a. Jake Angeli, of Arizona, was charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds ... " (Source) According to his attorney, Chansley is in...

At present, this is correct. Yesterday, Trump lawyer "Fischetti also said that Vance’s team told him they will not bring charges against Trump himself when the first indictment comes down." (Source) Notice the words "first indictment." Trump's lawyer seems to expect more indictments are...

I do not know. I have not paid as close attention to the Biden developments and accusations as I have with Trump. As an outsider looking in, living a long, long way from Washington, I have to rely on the actions and reports of others to determine what's going on in Washington political and legal...

OK. thank you for your response. Our views differ. I believe there is cause to investigate Trump, and so does the Manhattan DA, and so does the grand jury he convened. This belief will likely be challenged by Trump when the expected charges are laid. At that point, we will likely learn that...

Do you believe there is no cause to investigate Trump?

That is correct. I believe the report also presented strong evidence that Trump obstructed justice. I was disappointed to see Barr quash that. I would still like to see someone revive interest in the evidence Mueller developed and prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice.

Republican Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, partly because he promised to appoint conservative judges to the bench. He and the Republican-controlled senate made good on that promise, confirming hundreds of conservative judges, including three to the U.S. Supreme Court, which gave that...

You are not wrong about Manhattan being an area of strong anti-Trump sentiment. But that does not free prosecutors from meeting the legal standards for laying charges, and it does not exempt them from the protections the law provides to those charged. A partisan point of view maintained by a...

So you're saying you are within your rights and your complaint should be considered not valid?

Hypothetical question: If you really, really, really dislike a city council member in your city, tell everyone you dislike this person, tell everyone you will do everything in your power to destroy this person; and you then see this person do something illegal, or you hear it credibly and...

How do you know this? Who, specifically, are the "political activists in proseceturial positions" you are talking about? How do you know they want to destroy Trump and his associates? In the interests of clarity, it will be helpful to state which investigations we are talking about. The one I...

Trump challenged and continues to challenge this investigation with numerous legal maneuvers, some of which came before judges appointed by Trump himself. The courts, including the Supreme Court of the U.S. did not stop the investigation or block evidence from being obtained. They specifically...

While I question your claim that failure "... to pay income taxes on fringe benefits is one of the most common 'crimes' committed by business," the rest of what you say is true in civil matters. But it appears something more serious is will be charged this week since it is not civil but criminal...
