You misunderstood my grounds for appeal.

I have no illusions that the Fed judiciary (still plump with Trump nominees) will fail to continue the activist intervention that led to the creation of Gay Rights under Federal Court mandate long before any actual laws were passed (much as I agreed with the politics of those rulings, they were "judicial overreach" IMHO).

No, the basis of the appeals in this case will be the vagueness of the law.

There is a principle under US Law that says, for example, you can't write a law that says "Don't do bad thing, or you'll go to jail." and "let the courts figure it out" - which is basically what the real "guts" of this new law attempts to do... No, laws have to be specific!

Hillary had more Russian collusion than Trump did.

It was the FBI that repeatedly lied to the FISA court. One FBI agent even illegally altered an official email to further the anti-Trump agenda.

Hillary Clinton was an awful candidate for President - I voted against her, and would again (gleefully!). That said, she didn't have any ties to Russians - or any other Foreign Governments - in the 2016 election cycle. And neither did her campaign.

Why? Because they were "old school" politicians who knew and understood the rules-of-engagement.

Trump and the Trump campaign did not - so when the Russians came a knockin' they didn't report it to the FBI (the way they were supposed to), they jumped at the chance! It was wrong of them, and it nearly got Trump impeached! (That is not what the first impeachment trial was about - the Dems never did get any evidence that Trump himself colluded - or even met with or talked to - actual Russians himself - so there were never any actual charges raised... and the "Special Prosecutor" admitted that he didn't file any charges against Trump - not because he was guilt-free, but because as the sitting President, he was untouchable.

But why let FACTS get in the way of your argument - you never have before! Hell, you've made them up before! I'm sure you'll make up some more now!

Even Derek Jeter admitted after he cheated and successfully claimed that a foul ball actually hit him on the hands... the real fault was, after all, the umpires, no? (that's an open question for Sports Fans to argue about for decades to come!)... the point is, mistakes happen... the real question (in my mind) isn't so much whether the amateurish Jared Kushner actually MET with the Russians (he did)... the real questions are:

Did he know it was illegal when he did it? When did he learn/discover that it was illegal? Did he do it again after this discovery? How much and when was Trump himself involved.

Some of that may have been uncovered in the special prosecutor's investigations, but it hasn't been made public.

But this "our hands are clean" act - after SO MANY have been charged and convicted - is not fooling anyone!

@hubrys

Ah, because you framed the original post as being in high school libraries, we can't talk about the full context of the argument.

And liberals pretend they aren't control freaks.

@hubrys I'm afraid we will be stuck with #senilejoe until 2024. But if Trump decides to run for the house in 2022, he will win his seat, and if the republicans are the majority... he will be house leader.
Whatever the case, he will run for president in 2024 and win.

There are some mysteries going on though. Pelosi made a deal with the democrats in 2018 that she would step down as Speaker of the House in 2022. She made that deal so she could remain Speaker of the House until then. Another mystery is.. There is no way in hell that Kamala could win if she ran in 2024.. and Biden HAS stated that he would not run for a second term. I hope Biden flip-flops on that.. like he does with everything else. Biden is on both sides of every issue. Biden would not have a chance in hell of winning in 2024 either.
