Not with several million Deplorables camped inside the DC city limits...
Heck, we'll even let the lynchees wear adult daipers...
You'd be next for the re-education camps, after you were disarmed.
Don't think that they don't know exactly who you are, and that you're guilty of posting on Free Republic.
Racism is in the eye of the beholder.
All of the remarks made against whites by just about every Dems would constitute racism on their part and people in Congress can also be impeached.
Race war here we come if Dems keep it up, and we don’t need a race war and nobody wants one.
BTW, “oath of office” is also in the eye of the beholder.
And Dems, if they could, would vote retroactively to impeach George Washington for being a racist.
So I don’t think that charging him with racism would hold up in court.
> So I don’t think that charging him with racism would hold up in court. <
It would hold up. The Constitution does not provide for any appeals process when it comes to impeachment. The House holds all the power here. The House can impeach for any old reason. Or for no reason at all.
And that’s exactly what the Founders intended. The House has the power to impeach. The Senate has the power to convict. No court can interfere in this process.
You have to mention a race for his comments to
be racist
Find it within
Lotta crypto liberals making with the hypotheticals here
SCOTUS has review powers and even conservative and liberal analysts, attorneys, judges, etc, have weighed in and said SCOTUS could get involved.
The Founders did not intend impeachment and removal to be at the whims of whomever controlled Congress.
That would be dictatorial.
Could Trump be a dictator then too and send troops into D.C.?
Do we need that?
No.
So we cannot have impeachment and removal due to Orange Man Bad. It has to be logical, provable, imperical, sound and cogent reasons - or we go to CW2.
No race was mentioned.
Ergo, no racism.
And racism is in the eye of the beholder.
Ergo Sum, no impeachment or removal.
No race was mentioned.
Ergo, no racism.
And racism is in the eye of the beholder and therefore unprovable.
Ergo Sum, no impeachment or removal.
> You have to mention a race for his comments to be racist <
If you are talking about impeachment, that is simply not true. The Constitution gives the House the power to decide just what an impeachable offense is. So the House could decide that Trump should be impeached because, well, for any old reason.
They could say that Trump is a racist because of the way he combs his hair. That comment would be nonsensical. But if the House says so, it would be a legal impeachable offense.
> SCOTUS has review powers... <
Yes, that’s true. But I would sure hope that the SCOTUS would not get involved in any impeachment proceedings. The Supreme Court is just one of the three co-equal branches of government. And the Founders clearly meant for the House to have impeachment powers. The SCOTUS should stay out of it.
And yes, I know that that gives the idiots in the House a lot of power to do goofy things. But it is what it is.
Green? Who he?
this is awesome because it’s gonna completely fracture the Dem Party whether they impeach or not, but guarantee that they lose the House in 2020 if they actually do vote to impeach ...
This doesn’t make Green a moron.
The “interviewer” is an insolent jerk.
The vote to remove would be the crucial thing, because we have known ever since the Dems got in charge of the House that their goal was to impeach Trump. Forget about running the country, responding to your constituencies, etc...well, actually, since their only constituencies are the media, leftist unions, transgenders...maybe the Dems actually are responding to them.
But the majority of Americans (including good, hardworking legal immigrants) are not liking this.
That would be the most likely outcome of an impeachment and conviction.
There would be little point in maintaining the pretense of a Constitutional Republic after establishing the precedent that "high crimes and misdemeanors" consist of "not being a Democrat".
And when "not being a Democrat" is an automatic conviction for racism, sexism, homophobia, trans-phobia, and toxic-CIS normativity (with "reparation payments" and jail time on offer) - Dictator Trump might not look so bad to a lot of people.
Democrats supporting impeachment must be removed from office as soon as possible. Elections would be the least painful way to do that. That may still be possible. The Democrat's own slogan is "By any means necessary". But that sword cuts in all directions.
Where are the High Crimes and Misdemeanors required for impeachment? Or is this a case where the Dems merely define the crime by what they perceive? If the Dems define golfing as a High Misdemeanor, then they have Trump by the short hairs..
Stand for what I believe is right! Some people believe stronger then others about my country and would still put their lives on the line to protect it, if needed. Did it in 1966-70 and sure as hell would do it again. Maybe not as fast but still would act to save my way of life.
Others will run and hide and not truly stand up for what they believe in, if they believed in anything put themselves!!
Doesn’t this caveman clown basically do this every other week? Who cares.
