Good day for the survival of the USA and the rule of law!! Whew! Thank the good Lord for the courts still being for we the people!
The likely appeal will not ever make it to the SC.... this case is a no brainer....
What's to keep it from going to the Supreme Court? This has been heading there for quite sometime.
I don't think it is likely, the WH defense was written in crayon... it is not a thought out argument on the WH side... which is basically, the President IS A KING.
There is nothing in our Constitution or Federalist Papers, that supports their Notion....that the President is King.
Trump is no more a KING than Barack Obama was! Were you here calling for Barry's impeachment when he used Executive Privilege to stonewall the Fast & Furious investigation?
We have a system that has checks and balances that prevents any one branch of our government from trying to bully the others. To be quite blunt...Trump has bullied the other branches far less than his predecessor did. Do you remember Obama criticizing the Supreme Court judges who voted against something he wanted when he gave his State of the Union address? Do you remember his Attorney General being found in contempt of Congress for ignoring Congressional subpoenas?
Adam Schiff has no more proof that Trump committed a crime when he negotiated with the Ukraine than he does that Trump colluded with Russia in the elections. He's using the power of Congressional subpoenas to bully the opposing political party...which isn't why Congressional subpoenas were created in the first place.
Asking things to be judged by the Supreme Court isn't the act of a "KING"...it's the act of a President who abides by our Constitution! When Barack Obama declared that he had a pen and a phone and he'd be continuing his agenda through Executive Actions despite the Democrats getting shellacked in a mid term election...THAT is the act of a KING!
