Originally posted by JimL View PostSo, since Trump can't be sued while in office, then he should be exempt from that rule anyway. Why should the President be treated differently than everyone else? Why should he be able to slander with impunity, while others can be sued for the same?

*Clinton had sued that this NOT be allowed, but did not prevail.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by little_monkey View PostIt is a great country, and I didn't mean any mockery - just expressing my frustrations with so much ignorance of people going on websites, and spreading their ignorance as if that ignorance is some kind of virtue. Yes that law, passed in 1996 by both parties, is a disgrace as both parties bear responsibility. And Trump is complicit as he never had any intentions to abolish it as he is a great beneficiary of that law. His latest bout to punish Twitter is only smoke and mirror as: 1) it's a law passed by Congress and only Congress can abolish or amend it; 2) it's a scare tactics hoping that Twitter will blink first and leave his tweets untouched... will see in the near future how this will pan out...My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

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

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI think that's a misconception. He can be sued, as Bill Clinton was sued by Paul Jones, and the Supreme Court ruled [Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681(1997)*] that the suit could move forward. In the majority opinion by Justice John Paul Stevens, the Court ruled that separation of powers does not mandate that federal courts delay all private civil lawsuits against the President until the end of his term of office. The Eighth Circuit court had said that "the President, like all other government officials, is subject to the same laws that apply to all other members of our society".

Originally posted by JimL View PostI don't think so, I'm pretty sure the president would be immune from being sued under the "The federal employee's Liability act".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostI just want to say that was an idiotic and inflammatory thing for him to tweet. I actually think they do have a leg to stand on with that particular moderation, since it violates their terms of service. I do have a problem with them editorializing by "fact-checking" Government officials, especially when they are doing it to Trump but not others.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostI trust them because their stories withstand scrutiny. As much as you guys whoop and holler about Breitbart, none of you have ever shown a story I've cited to actually be wrong. The complaint is never "The facts are wrong" but "I don't like how the facts are presented".
