He appears not be directly claiming EP, but separation of powers Fiendish Thingy Feb 2023 #46

I was wondering. So bluestarone Feb 2023 #47

It only took SCOTUS around two months to rule against Trump's EP claims. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 2023 #48

Two months would be fine, BUT bluestarone Feb 2023 #49

We shall see, but I don't think Pence is as significant a witness as the media says Fiendish Thingy Feb 2023 #52

One more question. bluestarone Feb 2023 #56

Well if they refuse bluestarone Feb 2023 #58

Well, a refusal to hear the case at all could be a good thing Fiendish Thingy Feb 2023 #61
