Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostWell, it was a proper dismissal, upheld by the appellate court; the litigants lacked standing AND had no legal basis for their complaint. A case has to be pretty weak to get tossed like that; motions to dismiss are not granted lightly.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIt was not a "technical dismissal", it was a full and proper acquittal. In other words, not guilty!
In the impeachment, Trump was acquitted, but because it was a political verdict and the prosecution were not allowed to call witnesses, there is no justification for claiming that Trump was not guilty. We know for certain that the POTUS is an infamous crook who got away with it; to his and the Repubs eternal shame.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, the dimissal was due to the fact that individual members of Congress have no legal standing to file the complaint. Therefore it was dismissed on a legal technicality.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
