My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Alan Dershowitz points out that the second article of impeachment -- "obstruction of Congress" -- is DOA:
Dershowitz: Look, the most important development happened today. The Supreme Court of the United States absolutely pulled the rug out of part two of the impeachment referral by granting certiorari, by granting review in a case where Trump challenged a congressional subpoena, and the Supreme Court said, we are going to hear this case.
Hannity: All three cases, by the way.
Dershowitz: One of them is a state case — but think of what that message is. It’s “Trump was right.” you don’t have to comply with a subpoena of Congress unless the court tells you you have to comply. we don’t know how the court is going to come out, but they made it clear that is a viable issue. So that charge, that ground of impeachment should be immediately removed by the House and not sent to the Senate. There is nothing to it anymore after the Supreme Court today said they were going to review on an issue when the president challenges the subpoena power of Congress. All done, it’s over!

We can only hope it is the latter. otherwise we are one step closer to the Trump and Barr preferred "President as King" and "the president is above the law" - which is contrary to everything the founding fathers intended.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 12-15-2019, 11:28 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

"If you impeach a president, if you make a ‘high crime and misdemeanor’ out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. It’s your abuse of power. You’re doing precisely what you’re criticizing the president for doing. We have a third branch that deals with conflicts of the other two branches."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

You keep saying it's not, then repeatedly unwittingly make the case that it is.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostOf course his point could be turned around on him to suggest that the Democrats who support impeachment are only doing so because they think it will help their reelection chances. And after all, they were the ones using focus groups to try to figure out what to charge Trump with.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
