This wouldn't have happened if we had socialism

Ok, is there any particular piece of case law you feel applies here?

So anything that violates case law is unconstitutional

@Trauma if we had socialism Peth’s deep lack of knowledge would be a shared burden of society

Ok, such as?

And you’re talking about the senate proceedings right now?

After impeachment?

Senate proceedings to determine whether or not the president is guilty

Do you know that Clinton’s trial was largely secret?

Not in open court

Whatever, enough cross examination I’ll just explain this to you

A lot of trials are somewhat secret

There isn’t a requirement for it to be open

Criminal trials in America are open, it’s in the bill of rights, I recommend you read it.

Not from case law

From the constitution.

Jury trials are different

This is a jury trial.

No it’s not

Yes it is, the senate is the acting jury

Dude sincerely

No

Read the constitution

It says it right there

They aren’t considered a jury

So the reason there isn’t judicial review over the trial in the senate

Is case law different from constitutional law?

Is that removing federal officials from office is in the purview of the senate

It’s the same essentially

So to give judicial review would be to take that power from the senate

Because the senate power is how you remove federal justices (including the Supreme Court) from office

There can be state case law though so not all case law is constitutional on a federal level

So you can’t have the Supreme Court oversee its own trial

Lol holy fuck you’re dumb

No honey, state precedent doesn’t apply to federal trials

I was talking to him

He’s like rocky, he keeps getting up lol

I don’t talk to liberals

Lol

<:facepalm:583246304151470090>

Im sorry from interrupting but its kinda hard to keep up with the conversation

You were talking to me a second ago when you were demonstrating extraordinary lack of understanding about the constitution and the law

Federal case law is the established interpretation of constitutional law

But that’s fine, good luck in your con law class lol

And is binding to everyone

No.

But go on

Yes it is

Federal case law does not apply for state trials because the statutes are different- are we really getting into this

Ok let’s start lower down

What about the American legal system DO you understand

There is no single document that contains the case law. It’s literally just a collection of all of the highest federal rulings

Largely Supreme Court cases and their current resolutions that are still on the books

A ruling about the interpretation of a law by a federal appellate court on the books in Florida does not mean anything in Michigan

And the vast majority of federal case law is not from the SCOTUS, it’s from the other federal courts

Is law your major?

Federal appellate court decisions apply to their district

You would have picked up more law if you had just dropped out and binged Law and Order

And a Hulu subscription is less expensive than college tuition

Even at whatever Nigerian online college you’re going to

The Supreme Court decisions apply to the entire country however

This is too easy lol I have to go prep for a meeting

Cosby tag in on this moron lol

Yeah, college tuition is expensive

The case law can vary in different districts

Usually anything sufficiently controversial goes to the Supreme Court though

Like controversial in that people say it violates their constitutional rights

And the Supreme Court has the final interpretation on it

And it becomes binding to all districts

If the Supreme Court ignores a appellate court decision, it remains part of the case law for that district

So for those who read it can they point me to where he took a bribe and used it for personal gain

I’d love to see it

Which scandal?

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scandals_in_the_United_States#Donald_Trump_administration_(2017%E2%80%93present)

That's the thing, there is no real bribe. It's all just misconstrued into being such

In racketeering terms it is a very clear bribe

“We want to buy weapons”

“Ok, though I have a favor to ask”

Then he asks him for a personal favor

Lol he's obviously trying to extort kompramat on a political opponent

I can't begin to imagine if Obama - or hell, any Democrat, tried to do the same thing

The right is despicable, as always.

Like when Hillary sold uranium?

It was opinion that Dems are hypocrites

But the news was a fact

Even Biden threatened to stop the money if they didn't fire one of their guys

Lol

Let’s go through the Hillary uranium accusation

Lay out, if you will, what you believe Hillary Clinton did with regard to the sale of uranium

It is pointless to resist liberal. Surrender now to your conservative masters.

These biches wont

Lol

So to be clear, you don’t know?

Meanwhile somewhere in d.c.

What do you guys think of Yang?

He's trying to build bridges

And I appreciate that

But UBI is a terrible idea

Yes it has been tried on Alaska

but most states aren't that rich in resources and oil
