Valid points. The January 6 event has been described in various ways. With the eligibility question now in court, and the word "insurrection" used in the 14th Amendment, a central question in this case is, was what happened actually an insurrection, or was it something else? In this case and...

You are still not answering the question. What are the details. Saying "The dc jail.....run by a Democrat warden....in a city run by Democrats." provides no information to back your claim that someone is in jail for two years without a bail hearing.

OK. Now that you have had your laugh, what would you like to see happen? Classified documents were found in a former vice president's office which was not a government office or authorized location. What do you think should be done or not done? What should the next step be and who should take it?

Let me ask more specifically. If someone is in jail for two years without a bail hearing, that is a serious matter. But you are providing no details to show this is actually happening. If you want us to believe it's happening, it would help to provide the names of the people in jail and the...

Judge Eileen IS nonsense, as the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals so clearly showed.

What people are you talking about? Names? Case numbers? Other identifying info?

Where are you getting that "has to be charged with a CRIME.... info? Are you making it up? Is this another one of your considered legal opinions? If so, on what basis did you form it? I find the question to be interesting. A quick Google search to learn more produced this helpful article...

On that issue, I don't care if one side or the other wins or loses. As I said above, I'm glad it's in court so the question will be argued well and ruled upon.

That may well be. But to date it has gone somewhere; namely to court. I don't know how this will turn out but I am happy to see the eligibility question show up in court. In court, the arguments on both sides of the question can be clearly and intelligently made, and clearly and intelligently...

Yep. He missed the point.

When something happens the same way for 100 years, like electing the House speaker on the first ballot, and something different then happens, like say 2 rounds of voting before electing the speaker, it's historic. So is 15 rounds and so would be 40 if that happened. Historic is not about a...

I agree that items 1-5 are reasonable items. Since I don't trust the Freedom Caucus (you know, the extremists who, putting all other matters aside, shut down the House speaker vote for the first time in 100 years), I'm leery of increasing their presence on the important rules committee. Except...

That is an EXCELLENT question!

Trump Faces Office Eligibility Question in Court Some people say that under the 14th Amendment, Trump is ineligible to hold public office because he engaged in insurrection. Others question and/or dismiss that claim. Unsurprisingly, the question has found its way into court. The action was...

Judge Orders Trump to Face NY (James) Lawsuit. Trial Set for October. "New York judge on Friday said former US President Donald Trump must face a lawsuit by the state's attorney general accusing him of fraudulently overvaluing his namesake real estate company's assets and his own net worth...

McCarthy Elected Speaker in the 15th Round of Voting Finally! Does this mean America can look forward to smooth sailing and good government? Or is it only a matter of time before Republicans again paralyze the House of Representatives with their next dysfunctional impasse? Because of what...

Round 14 set for tonight 10pm.

Interesting Nominating Remark "'What you're seeing on this floor does not mean we are dysfunctional,' said Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna as she nominated a McCarthy rival, Byron Donalds, for the 10th vote."

Exactly. And that may be what it will take to seat a speaker and let the House get to its work. The non-RINO Republicans are not looking or doing well right now, are they? At present, and seemingly for the foreseeable future, the non-RINOs are in a House-paralyzing stalemate. If tensions grow...

I've been glimpsing the news through the day as the House speaker situation continues to play out. Various thoughts: 1. It's getting boring and tiresome. Same votes repeated again and again. Same results. 2. One comment that stuck out above many others was "The Republican Party has been...
