Oh, just you wait until they make the argument that since the Impeachment Clause specifies, “the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law,” that conduct not liable isn’t constitutionally sufficient for impeachment.

Any other headline than, “When the President Does It, It’s Not Illegal,” Will be gross malpractice on the part of the press.

Like, remember when it was a huge controversy when the Obama administration targeted and killed an American citizen Al-Qaeda leader with a drone strike with no due process? That was cute. Just a non-justiciable official act, now.

Yeah, the, “go to the White House and tell the President to step aside,” comment was what made me turn the tv off. I know the panel has to pretend debates are big pivotal events that move votes to justify them, but… come on. No one serious thinks that.

I don’t think so, honestly. I think what we’ll actually see is that their sentiments start with, “I don’t think he can win,” or, “I think he’s crazy,” and end with, “but I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee.” I think that translates to the primaries; either he’s their second choice, or they’ll…
