Exactly as I said. Delaying action. May be effective in short term but not in the ultimate result, which in all likelihood is yet another loss in court and the search will be upheld as legal.

All talk, no action. Good for stirring up the Trump base. Trump does terrible in court. Based on past history, Trump is not likely to do anything in court beyond try to delay anything and everything he can. And he is certainly unlikely to present any rational and legal arguments that motivate...

Sad but true.

How would this apply to say a straight married couple who operate a bakery and want to discriminate against gay people because of the religious and social beliefs the bakery owners have? Specifically, they refuse to take an order for a wedding cake for a same-sex wedding. How would this apply...

An Interesting Preview There is a special election for U.S House coming up in NY soon. While it's interesting to watch, it is always a mistake to read too much into one district's results and say it's a national trend. But this race lays things out nicely. "The matchup in the 19th district...

McConnell may well be out of touch with his base and may well prefer polished politicians to "lower quality" candidates. But his point remains valid. Some of the Trump-endorsed Senate candidates are deeply encumbered such that it will be difficult for them to win a general election. They can...

McConnell Has a Point RE Trump-endorsed Senate Candidates In a recent Fox News interview, Senate Minority Leader McConnell said, "I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate," the minority leader anticipated. "Senate races are just different, they're...

A Happy Day for Trump and Trump Supporters Indications are Liz Cheney will lose her bid to retain her U.S. House seat as she is defeated by a Trump-endorsed challenger. That's a major defeat for her and a major win for Trump. Incumbents generally have a huge advantage in getting re-elected...

It's Official. Giuliani Now a Target of GA Election Probe No surprise here. Just makes it official. https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/15/politics/rudy-giuliani-georgia-presidential-election-probe/

If that is so, then-president Trump was free to declare the documents in question declassified without offering any proof. His statement is enough. So too, then, with Biden. He does not need to offer anything more than a statement that he re-classified the documents in question the instant...

Watching the cable news shows this evening, it seems the Mar-a-Lago news story has run its course. It went from uninterrupted coverage a couple days ago to the first few minutes of the hour now. A quiet period will likely follow as nothing new develops, and DOJ quietly continues it's...

Even if he did (and that remains to be determined), it is still illegal for him to have government property in his home. And even if all classified documents are taken off the table, probable cause regarding other crimes are stated in the warrant that are being investigated. Not a nothingburger.

Ha! That's a new twist. One I have not considered before.

You heard it from me and I'm not a Democrat. And kindly note that precisely because no one is above the law, I do not want to see Trump prosecuted. I want to see him investigated and only prosecuted if evidence of crimes justifies him being charged.

I think it's important to notice that the Mar-a-Lago search is NOTHING like any previous event (or nothingburger, hoax, scandal). How do we know that? We know that because FEDERAL AGENTS SEARCHED TRUMP'S HOUSE AND OFFICES and took 20 boxes of materials to further investigate. Nothing like...

Or actual crimes were committed that should be investigated, and charged where appropriate, because no man is above the law.

Your post clearly expresses that point of view. Others, including me, have a different view. Ultimately, the question will be resolved by the courts (judges and juries) if this gets to court. Until then, there is little we can do to resolve the question beyond restating our beliefs in the...

As I said above, the declassification is not resolved. It is an open question that will be argued in court if Trump is charged with crimes related to that. Also note that the declassification is only one of several questions that remain unanswered. If charges are filed against Trump in...

"... the Search Was Conducted Mostly to Damage Trump's Political Career" The above phrase is from this article about a recent poll. It expresses a belief held by 39% of the respondents. Variations of this belief are regularly expressed by some in this forum. I think it is fair to say the...
