Hey shriveled old white lady, where dem articles at?

The socidemlibs may have one of their articles shit canned by the SCOTUS. They are going to rule on the "obstruction of Congress" with the separation of powers executive privilege argument of not giving internal WH docs to them or letting McGann, Bolton, Mulvaney and others participate in their dog and pony show.

Will not happen on SCOTUS. This is not a legal process but a political process. This is totally under House and Senate rules, and the Chief Justice rulings during the trial will be based on the rules the Senate passes, which has nothing to do with US case law.

Perhaps. However, one of the Articles was obstruction of Congress due to the WH exerting executive privilege to deny documents and people for this sham debacle. It's a separation of powers Constitutional argument. The WH had the right to go to court and withhold the docs and people from testifying as countless administrations have done. That pissed off the House and thus the Obstruction of Congress Article of Impeachment. The SCOTUS rules on these issues. If they find the WH has a Constiutional right to deny docs and people it sort of blows a hole in that Article.

This is exactly what happened and the "media" continually fails to report it. Obama did it on Benghazi and Fast and Furious.

Many administrations have claimed executive privilege and have gone to court to protect it. The House said they didn't have time to wait around for a court to make a ruling. Ironic since the House is waiting around and dragging its feet by not sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. The House denied the GOP its day to bring witnesses like the House rules allowed by claiming "time is of the essence".

You are wrong. Read Article II again - well perhaps for the first time. Specifically focus on this:

Through these actions, President Trump sought to arrogate to himself the right to determine the propriety, scope, and nature of an impeachment inquiry into his own conduct, as well as the unilateral prerogative to deny any and all information to the House of Representatives in the exercise of its “sole Power of Impeachment”. In the history of the Republic, no President has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate “high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. This abuse of office served to cover up the President’s own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment — and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives.
There is no pending litigation related to the subpoenas issued as part of the House Impeachment hearings. No assertion of Executive Privilege has been made by the WH in regards to those subpoenas. That might be because Schiff was smart enough to just use the POSUS words against him when he asserted he has "the right to do whatever I want."

Not sure that will hold up well in the Senate. We shall see. When Nancy is ready.

Umm, so in that case, the committees sued the WH which responded with the assertion of privilege, some of which was upheld. Different.

I suppose Gowdy could have tried to float some Impeachment Articles around rather than suing.

Again, you are wrong. Executive Privilege is asserted as a defense against a suit to force compliance to a subpoena. Damn boys, this isn't that hard.
 
Almost. You can handle a couple more days can't you?

No I can’t but if you promise russia won’t be in charge in a couple days I will put off killing my loved ones and myself.

Will it be over soon david? Will it??

Adam Schiff, haha!!!! You sure don’t have a clue about what is going on:(
Your support for Nancy and Adam says everything about you, fatty:eek:
 
Amazing isn't it...though really it speaks to the dearth of real talent in DC more than anything else.

She was AOC before it was cool. She doesn’t run shit, she shot her wad with her fake impeachment and we’ve reached the inevitable dead end she tried to warn her donors about. Trying to strong arm McConnell with zero leverage is the most pathetic action of her career.

Uh huh. That is what she wants you to believe. You are playing right into her plan.
