I have three kids. Abortion is something others have. Fidelity is a personal commitment.
Per this logic, pro slavery voter ok as long as the answer to “how many slaves has he had?” is zeroHow many abortions has she had?
“I have no slaves. Slaves are something others have” - Slavery voter in 19th centuryI have three kids. Abortion is something others have
History of the Constituion and impeachment and disagreement between Mason and Madison as explained in my previous post here:That’s not what I heard. Maybe you could find a source.
The Constitution doesn’t say that.Impeachment can be done without any crime whatsoever.
Yes it does. From the article you posted:The Constitution doesn’t say that.
It doesn’t have to be a criminal law case. It says “high crimes and misdemeanors”.So Mason offered a substitute: “other high crimes and misdemeanors against the State.” The English Parliament had included a similarly worded phrase in its articles of impeachment since 1450. This compromise satisfied Madison and most of the other Convention delegates. They approved Mason’s amendment without further debate, 8 states to 3, but added “against the United States,” to avoid ambiguity.
Unfortunately for everyone who’s argued since about what an impeachable offense is, the convention’s Committee on Style and Revision, which was supposed to improve the draft Constitution’s language without changing its meaning, deleted the phrase “against the United States.” Without that phrase, which explained what constitutes “high crimes,” many Americans came to believe that “high crimes” literally meant only crimes identified in criminal law.
Yes, by limiting what he was asking for, wanting a public announcement of an investigation and keeping his withholding of the aid a secret, it is clear that Trump had no interest in corruption, but was more interested in damaging his political opponents.There is some merit to the idea that “Trump did not go far enough in demanding that Ukraine investigate …”
Of course, these aspects of Trump’s not going “far enough” present evidence of guilt and consciousness of guilt. Just like the obstruction.
- Trump’s quids had a a very limited scope. he was not interested in corruption in Ukraine, just the Biden’s and the Crowdstrike-related theorizing.
- The manner of his approach to Ukraine - pack channels with private counsel, secretive conversations - was circumscribed in a very unusual fashion.
Only in the imagination of someone that hates Biden would an investigation be justified. There was no controversy about what Biden did for almost a half decade. Only when Trump felt that Biden could become a challenger to him was there interest in an investigation. Of course, Trump did it in secret because it was nefarious (unlike Biden who was quite public about what he did) and was really only interested in an announcement so the right wing propaganda machine in the US can claim Biden is corrupt without any evidence to that effect. Kind of like what you are doing here.The impeachment farce was started to deflect from the Biden scandal which was generated from Biden’s own mouth and cries for investigation both here and in Ukraine. I think Trump should have insisted that Ukraine investigate further, as the treaty requires, if it was to expect good relations with the U.S.
Shokin was corrupt and it was widely reported at the time of his firing. It was also widely reported at the time of his firing that he did not have the support of the US, EU, IMF and anti-corruption Ukrainians. This is the most accurate read of what was going on at the time because it was reported before there was a Republican spin on this that it was somehow corrupt.Shokin was charged with nothing, to this day. I guess you can quote Obama saying that removing Shokin was U.S. policy (not just that of Nuland and Pyatt and Yovanovich or perhaps the EU) so we can be sure.
Yes, never mind all the evidence presented and pretend it wasn’t presented or that you were able to dispute it. Just ignore it and say there is no evidence exonerating Biden.Still no evidence “exonerating” Biden. But then, when an obvious conflict of interest occurs and one does not disqualify himself from it, an investigation might show that or guilt.
Well, I guess you are going to have to provide what Pope Benedict said exactly, because I would rather read from the actual source then your opinion of what you think it means.What Pope Benedict said about “proportionate reasons” to support an abortion-supporting politician is in the public domain. Personal insults don’t change that.
Six out of seven abortions in the US are performed on women outside of wedlock, so it is clear there is a significant relation between sex outside of wedlock and abortion. But you know that.The relationship is between abortion and sex, not just outside wedlock. But you know that.
