  1. I'll nominate this ^^^ for post of the month! Pence could do it.
  2. Because: Trump can't Pardon Himslef, Here is Why. According to Article II of the Constitution, a sitting president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” That may sound like we have already answered the question; however, therein lies a small yet important technicality within that phrase that requires some unpacking. The operative word? Grant. ecause of this, we are actually asking the wrong question: It’s not about whether Trump can pardon himself, but whether he can grant himself a pardon. This may sound like the exact same question but bear with us. According to context clues from the text of the Constitution and the word’s meaning at the time it was written, the answer is no. He cannot pardon himself. The president only has the power to grant pardons. For context, the same word appears multiple times in various clauses of the Constitution. Every time the word appears, “grant” is a transmissive term meaning it is from one entity to another, reports The Atlantic. It is not used reflexively as in “to grant oneself” a pardon — it is always used interpersonally. Comparing a word to its uses in other instances within a historical or legal document is a common technique used by judges and legal scholars to surmise the intended meaning in context. If a court were to base its judgment solely on the context of the word in the Constitution, it would be reasonable to determine that the president cannot, in fact, grant himself a pardon.

  3. This will buy some time on Friday for T. I'm also going to have Google maps running on my computer main screen this afternoon to see if Georgia blows up.
  4. That's the part that turns most heads in America, most P seem to do it.
  5. Trump Legal Team Wants Rudy Giuliani to Argue in Federal Court Again, But There Are Some Problems Jerry Lambe 1 hr ago An attorney representing the Trump campaign filed a letter on Wednesday informing the Chief Clerk of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that the campaign was available for a brief oral argument to further explain its application and requesting that Rudy Giuliani be permitted to appear on behalf of the campaign despite not having the necessary certification. The appeal asks that the Third Circuit overturn a district court ruling denying the campaign’s request to file a second amended complaint in its effort to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania. The letter—penned by the latest addition to Donald Trump’s legal team, Marc A. Scaringi—asks the court to admit Giuliani pro hac vice for the argument, claiming that because Trump received “over 70 million” votes, “the Campaign’s claims should be heard on the merits, and not dismissed for perceived procedural irregularities.” This appears to be problematic for several reasons. First, according to the Third Circuit’s rules, pro hac vice admission is simply not available for Giuliani. available “only to attorneys who have been appointed by this Court to represent a litigant pro bono.” All attorneys not representing a pro bono [free of charge] client “cannot appear Pro Hac Vice and must follow the standard admission process in order to enter an appearance with this Court.” Second, despite Scaringi’s plea for the case to be heard on the merits, the appeal before the court does not deal with the merits of the case, it’s only a request that the judges direct a district court to allow the campaign to file a third complaint (second amended complaint) in its ongoing litigation in Pennsylvania. The campaign filed its initial complaint on Nov. 9 seeking to block Pennsylvania from certifying its election results due to widespread fraud, but quickly scaled back the lawsuit with a red-lined amended complaint on Nov. 15 that completely abandoned the unsubstantiated allegations of fraudulent activity.

  6. My post may of went over your head. I stated T went on the air to try take claim to the bump in stock market. Next post showed some comments from press about the 62 second march in and out with Pence. Nothing in these 2 posts to do with how many?
  7. One day after Pennsylvania certified its election results, formalizing President-elect Joe Biden's win over President Trump in the state's presidential race, Mr. Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is expected to attend at a public hearing in Gettysburg on election "issues" and alleged "irregularities." Mr. Trump was previously expected to join Giuliani at the hearing at 12:30 p.m. ET but the trip was canceled. The change in plans came after Boris Epshteyn, an adviser to the Trump campaign, revealed he tested positive for COVID-19. Epshteyn attended a press conference at the Republican National Committee last week alongside Giuliani, and participated in a radio interview with the former mayor Sunday.

  8. No one understands the political perils of both parties better than Schiff. Apparently, you realize how frustrating he is to the Republicans.
  9. Biden says he hasn't heard from Trump directly Biden says he hasn't heard from Trump directly (msn.com)
  10. Seriously, have you listened at all to T in the last 4 years?
  11. Have you heard of Moscow Mitch? Schiff is actually pretty good, very intelligent, be a force down the road.
  12. White House reporters were overheard calling Trump's minute-long press conference Weird as s--- That was one of the stranger briefings Pence stood by 1 minute 2 seconds, then T walked right out Trying to take credit for the Stock Market, this bump had nothing to do with him.
  13. Well aware of your link. Seems like the conversation started on more like the over use of them, you seem to disagree?
  14. Schiff on possible Flynn pardon: Trump is 'acting like an organized crime figure' Jordan Williams 11 mins ago Schiff on possible Flynn pardon: Trump is 'acting like an organized crime figure' (msn.com)
  15. Pretty simple, T really doesn't win in big cities. Nothing here FISHY, or that anybody doesn't understand.
  16. Agree, I could see an occasional pardon where things were very questionable. This pardon is way over used.
  17. Both are good G for a red state, would have their share of problems with the likes of a Chicago in their state.
  18. T considering to pardon his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
  19. As T is considering lifting European travel restrictions the US records deadliest COVID day since early May of over 2,000.
  20. The T lying mixed in with some truth? Take blinders off, election was not a fraud. If there wouldn't be this hand full of posters shooting arrows at T & his followers, this thread be dead and SS would be laying off volunteers.
  21. Yes, but but but Have to keep SS politics "Fair and Balance", too many people are still believing in the lies - the Cult you know. Election was rigged, fraud, cheating D, etc. as of late.
