In order to be fair it certainly does. You are simply accepting an unfair order as OK because it exists. Some lawyers say it is unconstitutional. So they certainly disagree...

Sure it does. The terms above are vague because it would be ponderous to provide an infinite amount of detail for them in the constitution. Laws can add these details or...

Easy, Bill. You are supporting common sense, fairness and the American way. I don't think any of that exists in this trial. This is political persecution.

Irrelevant. If Cohen can make public comments, then Trump can do the same. If Cohen make comments about Trump, Trump has the right to respond.

fmw liked Pisa's post in the thread NYPD arrests over 100 protesters at NYU, clears out anti-Israel encampment on campus.
How does bullying, harassing, intimidating, and threatening innocent American Jews not equate to the "Nazi problem in WW2"?

They cross because they are welcomed... 50% chance of gaining some kind of residency. Not bad.

Indeed. The basic difference between left and right in the U.S. is the analysis of the role of federal government. It is a difference that cannot be fixed, in my view. The...

No need to repeat yourself. The gag order was unfare and you know it. Having a gag order is fine but it needs apply to everyone involved.

I agree. Trump is his own worsts enemy. I'm not a fan of the death penalty either, believing that two wrongs don't make a right.

No. She always put politics above her job. Politics is about winning elections. Her job was about running the house of representatives and seeing to the common good.

In what way? The bill of rights addresses both. Originalists support what the consitution says.

It is the difference between the desire for freedom and the desire for political power. Nothing new under the sun.

You don't see a problem with that attitude? Something wrong with making the common good the most important thing?

If the participation were truly peaceful, then nothing. But they aren't peaceful. There is trespass, harrassment and even battery. Hope that helps.
