We know that if the things were opposite, a GOP senate would dismiss a similar impeachment against a Trump official. They would state that the Constitution does not say the Senate must conduct a trial only that the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. IIRC, concerning the previous's s...

Now, they get to go on Fox News and the website formerly known as Twitter and whine that the evil libs stood in the way of justice and the courageous Republicans Trumpistas who wanted only to return to constitutional goverment. Yeah, but they wanted to make those whines on the Senate floor as well....

You know, you've been calling that guy a jerk for years. "Some jerk" was my Twitter handle, until I got bored with it. (Everyone thought they were soooooo clever by saying, "Your name fits." :roll: :yawn: .) And Rondeau keeps baning me :bag: , so I don't bother referring to my c...

I saw that; I just didn’t know if they also plans to use them for some other Rule 404 purpose. This is what's on the second page: The People's February 22, 2024 motions in limine already disclosed the misconduct and uncharged criminal acts which the People intend to use at trial as substantive proo...

It’s not enough to identify the prior bad acts; the prosecution also has to explain the relevance (motive, absence of mistake, intent, etc.) The notice says that, if the defendant testifies, it will use these acts to impeach his credibility. Impeaching a witness's credibility always is relevant (su...

And, even if the failure of his department to deport an individual who should have been deported, how is that a "high crime and misdemeanor"? To paraphrase Ford, "'High crime and misdemeanor' means whatever De Facto Speaker Greene wants it to mean." To paraphrase Schumer, "...

Miller said "in our lifetimes." I don't who this nebulous "our" refers to, but Miller was born in 1985, well after the Kennedy administration.

Lake writes a letter that says Richer actually benefitted (fundraising-wise) from her attacks and she doesn't owe him squat. https://frontlineamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/FILE_1677.pdf This is a profoundly dumb letter to send.

You guys? Anybody think they'd make a great juror in this one? Great ... for whom ? Obviously, "justice," yes; sure. But "good" jurors are routinely bumped by one side or the other due to their perceived ability to "harm" the desired outcome. Engineers, for example. Yo...

"They" filed charges where the defendant committed those crimes.

Those rat bastards!

Too, also I was curious about the phrasing “guilty defendants”. I may be picking nits, but is that a thing in lawyerland? I shudder at attempting to read Giuliani's pickled brain, but I infer he's referring to "defendants awaiting sentencing" (yaknow, those already found guilty). Or, simp...

🚨Judge Merchan reportedly refused to dismiss a juror who was posting videos of what Trump's legal team believes were anti-Trump events around the 2020 election Merchan said he "looked her in the eye and thought she could be fair" This is RIDICULOUS That's fairly routine for jury selection...

Republicans walk the impeachment articles to the Senate And of course Moscow Marge is participating in this MAGA theater event. Participating? Greene was named a co-manager!

Considered that, Bob. Haven't paid attention to Young Turks in a long time, but during the Birther Age, they were allies. Suppose there was a PAC called "The Larry Fund," its mission was the betterment of attorneys named Larry, and its founder was Larry Klayman. I would conclude it is jus...

Donald Trump's lawyers told the court that former president changed his mind about wanting to be at sidebars. He signed a form waiving his right to do so and confirmed that audibly to Judge Juan Merchan answering, "yes." This is not surprising, as sidebars tend to be about objections. So ...
