Trump can be held civilly liable in Jan. 6 riot, judges rule

[Rawley]

Republicans did the right thing

About half voted to expel Santos. Almost every Democrat voted against him

GOP Rep. George Santos expelled from House

The House voted Friday to expel New York GOP Rep. George Santos over ethics violations, making him only the sixth lawmaker ever to be kicked out of the chamber.

So when are Dems going to the right thing wrt Menendez?

 

[shockedcanadian]

He can be sued for actions not related to his Presidential function. The court determined this was not a Presidential function.

My question still stands. Is it the purview of Maxime Waters,.Pelosi or Harris (at the time a senator) to encourage "getting in ther face", encouraging people to protest for change etc? That isn't thier role is it?

 

[Oddball]

Good to see that guy gone but when we did we get standards in congress?
Shouldnt we be having another 530 or so votes?

Should've had his day in court and a conviction.

We have this, the civil suit against Trump without a criminal conviction, and the gag order having the shitlibs getting their full Stalin on today.

 

[Marener]

Absolute travesty, ignoring anything resembling due process.

Convict, then remove.

The Constitution says you don’t have to convict first. Is the Constitution a travesty?

One of your other Commie cousins already started a thread.

I get it.

You have to grasp at any straw of good news you can.

But, sheesh.

I am NOT a Communist. Santos was lying greedy piece of shit.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I didn't realize Santos was arrested, if that's your implication.

Being hated by right-wing racists and bigots isn't cause to step down.

So when are Dems going to the right thing wrt Menendez?

An other one who's going to get his day in court first.

If the neo-fascist shitlibs didn't have double standards.....

200+ years of precedent says you do.

 

[rightwinger]

Do you really need to lie?

Congress Finally Sends George Santos Packing With Expulsion Vote

Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to expel Santos, but it was far from unanimous.

www.thedailybeast.com

Well, he has finally gone packing. And it is interesting that he has not been convicted of any of the crimes, although an Ethics report slammed him for his alleged crimes. Now, will the repubs also take seriously the other member of their party who has been indicted 4 times with over 90 criminal charges? Or will they claim that these are two different types of indictments and steam headlong into a 2024 disaster?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Absolute travesty, ignoring anything resembling due process.

Convict, then remove.

Nonsense.

Keeping Santos in Congress would be the travesty.

 

[marvin martian]

TRUMP! You Bidenfluffers are a hoot.

GREAT name for Biden cultists like Mac1958. Bidenfluffers, I love it!

 

[Oddball]

3rd thread, at least.....JFC.

 

[rightwinger]

200+ years of precedent says you do.

Santos is one of a kind

The reason Santos being kicked out was unprecedented was every other indicted member had the good sense to step down before being thrown out

How many duplicate threads are you going to make today?

As many a Taz allows.

Donald Trump can be sued over claims that he incited violence on Jan. 6, 2021, an appeals court ruled Friday, rejecting the former president’s argument that he is entirely immune from being held liable for incendiary remarks that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

Trump may be sued over Jan. 6 incitement claims, appeals court panel rules

The three-judge panel turned aside Trump’s sweeping argument that nearly all speech and conduct by an incumbent president should be shielded from lawsuits.

www.politico.com

The three-judge panel concluded that Trump’s actions as a candidate for president would not automatically be protected by “presidential immunity,” turning aside Trump’s sweeping argument that nearly all speech and conduct by an incumbent president should be shielded from lawsuits, including several brought by members of Congress and injured police officers.

“When a first-term President opts to seek a second term, his campaign to win re-election is not an official presidential act,” Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan wrote. “The Office of the Presidency as an institution is agnostic about who will occupy it next. And campaigning to gain that office is not an official act of the office.”

Very good.

Love watching Conservative Santos backers play the “Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” card.

If your child’s teacher was arrested for child molesting, would you support them remaining your child’s teacher until convicted?

If someone is arrested for embezzlement, do they keep their job until a jury finds them guilty?
