    IF it is a 'dem thing" .....then the Dems seem to have some standards as to what is expected from a candidate. As stated before: the R's have lost their ethical and moral compass. Supporting someone with this many legal issues is questionable. . If Trump (and al l his issues ) was a Dem would you feel the way you do?? Doubt it. He would have been eliminated a long time ago.

    why do you and your ilk have higher expectations of the "left" than you do of and for your own party. (whatever it is now)

    Trump is framing this as his usual" "political persecutions". and One can be sure that the MAGA gang will chime in agreement. (and probably in unison)
    He will appeal. One can look forward to a year of Trump legal issues playing out in full theater. This will keep him in the news and that makes him happy. ( to him, bad attention is better than no attention)

    not relevant to my point about carter threatening us athletes
    and yes britain competed
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain_at_the_1980_Summer_Olympics

    read this

    Furthermore, the Olympic flag was raised for the British medal winners in place of the Union Flag, and the Olympic anthem was played instead of God Save the Queen for the five gold medalists

    Point of order should be recalled-you appear to be WRONG

    Probably, but I'm glad it's finally on the table.

    how many cases have you argued or handled in front of the USSC

    if the GOP has the court then I suspect they have a better chance of winning if this happens again

    Republicans declared war in 2008. I knew Democrats were asleep at the wheel but that it took them 15 years to even start to fight back is fascinating

    No, I think IF you commit an insurrection then the 14th applies and it's a State's Right to invoke it.

    So you think the Republican court will rule against states being able to set this and then rule that Republicans can?

    At least you are starting to state out loud that the USSC is hyper partisan, illegitimate and should be ignored. Let’s make them enforce their rulings

    And that is what we call an appeal to authority fallacy. It's why I dislike when a court case 'decides' what factually happens, and what doesn't happen. Essentially the individuals sitting on the Colorado Court decided for Colorado, whether or not that it was.

    When Courts start to determine things, our own ability to make determinations is undercut as a result. The court system thereby is like a human God, and unanswerable unless enough other humans disagree.

    not hyper partisan-that hasn't really been the case since FDR's court in the late 30s

    It’s strange to see the same people that defend states deleting the votes of their citizens through gerrymandering now upset about the courts doing it.

    Speaking of the pipe bomber, 4 years later we still don't know who did it or in connection with whom. But I think we all agree the person needs to be tried and sentenced, and thank god it didn't go off.

    Because it wouldn't have just been the government, the other 'insurrectionists' would be caught in the blast as well. Including those people who chose not to insurrect or protest.

    well cases like that often are noted do not set a precedent I believe the USSC made that clear in the Bush v Gore decision.

    No, they dont.

    Dems have loyalty to party. That is it.

    Your perception of R's is simply incorrect. Developed by years of social engineering.
