Naw, he wants to use the line "They can't beat me, so they impeached me" Don't interfere with your enemy while they are making a mistake.oysterbayAG said:
If the Dems in the House vote to start an Impeachment Inquiry, I think Trump will immediately file a law suit to stop it based on the Constitution not allowing impeachment for political reasons. There must be a real crime !

Good morning to everyone except for the eunuch libs who are pushing this idiotic impeachment inquiry and believing in it. Russia gave you hope, and you were crushed. Now you have something new to hitch your wagon too. Can't wait for the next disappointment.
No. The premise is wrong because impeachment is a political not a legal process. No court should and hopefully would not even entertain such a suit.oysterbayAG said:

Impeachment is a political process and no way the courts get involved in whether or not the House decides to pursue impeachment.oysterbayAG said:

Nor should they...and frankly, no way does Trump file a lawsuit to stop it...Rapier108 said:Impeachment is a political process and no way the courts get involved in whether or not the House decides to pursue impeachment.oysterbayAG said:

I agree. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Whistleblower wasn't working for the RNCFireAg said:

OK, this is something I don't understand. Doesn't impeachment have to be based on high crimes and misdemeanors?aggiehawg said:No. The premise is wrong because impeachment is a political not a legal process. No court should and hopefully would not even entertain such a suit.oysterbayAG said:

That is the language used in the Constitution but there is no definition of those terms within the Constitution. It is a term of art, not a defined legal term. Thus, nothing for a court of law to parse nor render judgment.jblaschke said:OK, this is something I don't understand.

There was a good argument concerning this on Ingram's show between Saul Weismann(??? Not sure of the name/spelling) and Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz argued there had to be a crime and cited a case concerning President Alexander Hamilton. Not sure what is correct, above my pay grade.aggiehawg said:That is the language used in the Constitution but there is no definition of those terms within the Constitution.

Consequently, which types of behavior constitute "high crimes and misdemeanors" is whatever a majority of the House says they are. It is then incumbent upon the Senate to decide whether such behavior warrants removal from office and in a separate determination, whether a ban from any future federal office should be imposed.

That is certainly Dersh's opinion but it is only that, an opinion. There is no definitive answer, nor do I expect there ever will be one from SCOTUS.Quote:
