I stand corrected. His minor children benefitting from his position would present a legal a conflict of interest, but his elder son benefitting from h...
That’s not the case because there are conflict of interest statutes on the books, violations of which are criminal offences. As I’ve said before, inve...
I say it’s “required” because the president has a duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”. So it is clearly right that he make sure g...
I think equality, as an ideal, should only apply in matters of law and justice. But outside of that I cannot see equality as anything worth striving f...

Who's going to fire him? "Use of the word “other” to link “high crimes and misdemeanors” with “treason” and “bribery” is arguably indicative of the ty...
No you're right. I was specifically speaking of the smear campaign involving Giuliani. I imagine smear campaigns against American diplomats is par for...
The first amendment protects every citizen, even government officials. The only reason a civil servant can be fired or disciplined is if his speech vi...
No, I meant the House, so we disagree. It's obvious what Trump has done, and none of it rises to high crimes and misdemeanors. In fact I think he was ...

You just assume that Trump pressured Zelensky. All parties involved say the opposite. So why do you believe Trump pressured Zelensky? Is there any evi...
Retreat into your equations all you want. You’re assuming Trump pressured Zelensky without being able to prove it. All parties involved say there was ...
