The nation, be specific gab13by13 Feb 2023 #19

The nation in historical sense. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #22

Yes but democracy is expendable triron Feb 2023 #80

Huh? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #81

I know tisis supposed to be sarcasm, but tell me: Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #10

Only took days to arrest 5 policemen in Memphis. Emile Feb 2023 #12

How many ex-presidents of the United States have ever been arrested? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #16

Trump is not the only subject of issue. PufPuf23 Feb 2023 #27

The poster I replied to made Trump THE subject. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #31

I would start with the GOP members of Congress that requested pardons from Trump PufPuf23 Feb 2023 #36

I am struck by the phrase "crimes that eluded full recognition and punishment" Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #38

How is this for a list? PufPuf23 Feb 2023 #39

Not very impressive at all. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #42

Your work is impressive as is your spin. PufPuf23 Feb 2023 #43

From your initial post (Reply 27): Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #46

Your post is 100% true. gab13by13 Feb 2023 #13

No, my sarcasm does not "presume your significant awareness of all of the above" Silent3 Feb 2023 #21

Your sarcasm did not address the historical context of denying DOJ your benefit of doubt. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #25

Did Nixon go to jail? Dig Agnew go to jail? Silent3 Feb 2023 #32

Let's forget for a moment that Nixon received a presidential pardon and was never a target of DOJ. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #37

A war crime doesn't *have to be* handled by the International Court... Silent3 Feb 2023 #44

Ok, if you insist. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #50

I totally reject your position on where the burden of proof lies here Silent3 Feb 2023 #74

Misplacing the burden of proof is the theme I see throughout your posts. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #76

Great court decisions like granting the presidency to Bush over Gore? Silent3 Feb 2023 #78

Let me repeat something you must have missed completely: Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #79

I didn't miss anything, I just didn't care Silent3 Feb 2023 #82

Well, color me shocked! Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #83

What can a list of court decisions prove about cases that don't even end up in court? Silent3 Feb 2023 #84

Seriously, what do the non-cases that don't end up in court prove about justice? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #85

Don't you get the all the anxiety about Trump being brought to justice... Silent3 Feb 2023 #86

I get all the anxiety allright! Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #88

"What I don't get is the insistence that anxiety drives justice." Silent3 Feb 2023 #89

When yo fail to define justice in any meaningful way, and then claim anxiety over something Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #90

What kind of "meaningful way" are you looking for? Silent3 Feb 2023 #91

Talking about justice without defining what it means to you is pretty ridiculous on its face. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #92

Unless it needs to be a deeply technical discussion (hint: no it doesn't)... Silent3 Feb 2023 #93

There IS a common meaning of the idea of justice Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #94

"FOLLOWING THE RULE OF LAW WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR." Silent3 Feb 2023 #95

I see, you are now willing to go along with the universally accepted definition for the rule of law, Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #96

So, whatever the DoJ has decided to prosecute (or not) in the past... Silent3 Feb 2023 #97

Bingo! You are slowly getting there. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #98

So, Al Capone's involvement with the St. Valentine's Day Massacre is a "non-event"... Silent3 Feb 2023 #99

I can't believe it, you're right again! Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #100

So, if getting Al Capone on taxes didn't work out.... Silent3 Feb 2023 #101

I thought we covered this before. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #102

Yes, we covered this before, and you've now made the same ridiculous interpretation Silent3 Feb 2023 #103

All that is indeed evidence iemanja Feb 2023 #58

I agree. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #62

Give a gold star to Garland iemanja Feb 2023 #64

Ask Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #67

The evidence for prosecuting Trump would be clear. iemanja Feb 2023 #57

The evidence is but the prerequisite for an indictment. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #61

But you yourself have shown that precedents do matter iemanja Feb 2023 #63

Context matters. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #65

None of the critics care about Garland's "performance or expertise" iemanja Feb 2023 #66

That's the problem, isn't it? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #69

Since when is it a citizen's job to praise administration officials? iemanja Feb 2023 #70

Since when is it a citizen's job to bash administration officials? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #71

Criticism is not bashing. It's democracy iemanja Feb 2023 #72

Unfounded criticism that doesn't end is bashing. It's not democracy. And it's repugnant. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #73

Yeah, we don't want to rush this. Lancero Feb 2023 #15
