Originally posted by JimL View PostYeah, that's what I said, I didn't say constitutional hearings.
What I said was that there will be constitutional scholars there who will explain impeachment to you and why Trump has violated the Constitution.
It still boils down to politics, Jim.... It's a political process, and those politicians have to answer to the folks in their own districts.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostYeah, I got that.... but they're not "Judicial Hearings" - they're simply more of the same by a specific committee.
You mean, there will be constitutional scholars there chosen by the prosecution to give their opinions as to why they believe....

Originally posted by JimL View PostAgain, the argument isn't about his powers, it's about his abuse of those powers whether they be illegal or not. The military has a court for a reason, they are responsible for the rule of order in their organization, and these men were obviously guilty of horrific crimes. Trump trumped the decision of that court for political reasons and signaled to the enlisted that they are free to ignore military rule.
Is Trump the president?
What did he do that was outside his powers Jimmy? Be specific because you have not a clue how the military works and it shows. Here is how the upper command structure works:
The President of the United States
The secretary of Defense
Branch secretaries (Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy)
Chief of staff
Service Chiefs of Staff
Who is at the top of the chain of command?Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 11-30-2019, 03:15 PM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

That's not the argument."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostI understand it just fine Jimmy. The issue is that it is stupid. You are aware that the lead prosecutor, in one of these cases, was caught spying on the defense. Right?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
