I'm not familiar enough with the Clinton case to comment. My comments on Senatorial duty apply... always.
February 03, 2020 at 03:49
That is not a rendition of my argument.
February 03, 2020 at 03:47
Every example thereof. The meaning of a term always includes the term.
February 03, 2020 at 03:46
So long...

That's also not the only place in the Constitution where the separation of powers are set out.

Touching fire causes pain. The correlation drawn between touching the fire and the ensuing pain makes both meaningful to the creature drawing the corr...

Give me one example of meaning that does not consist of a plurality of things as well as a creature capable of drawing correlations between different ...

In: Truth  — view comment
Statements are the sort of thing that can be true/false. "Truth" can be used to denote true statements. "Truth" can be used to denote coherence/consis...

Depends upon who you ask. There is no single accepted answer. It's a motto, a slogan... most often employed by people who cannot further explicate it.
February 02, 2020 at 18:52
Causality needs no creature capable of drawing correlations between different things. All meaning does.
February 02, 2020 at 18:49
None of it is clear. Not the first, not the last. Makes no sense to me. Define the terms. Substitute the definitions for the terms. See what it looks ...
February 02, 2020 at 18:48
Causality is not a type of meaning.
February 02, 2020 at 18:45
No, they are not. Their job - as clearly demarcated in the Constitution - is to act as impartial jurors in a presidential impeachment proceeding(the t...
February 02, 2020 at 17:53
If the meaning of a term consists of the term, then when one cannot remember the term, one cannot remember the meaning... Pretty simple and always tru...
February 02, 2020 at 17:50
You're increasing the complexity of your argument without considering what I've just said with regard to what the meaning of a term consists of. The t...
February 02, 2020 at 17:47
Causality is not existentially dependent upon meaning. Some of the most rudimentary level thought and belief recognize/attribute causality. Causality ...

Take all the evidence. Lose Trump as the individual. Imagine another. What does the evidence warrant regardless of who the defendant is? That's impart...
February 02, 2020 at 05:34
The overwhelming majority of the citizens want to see the evidence being suppressed(key witnesses). When an overwhelming majority of the people want t...

If truth was being sought then anyone and everyone so seeking would take every action in order to disclose it. The contrary(concealing it) is also tru...

One cannot do both, argue on behalf of following the constitution all the while simultaneously neglecting what it says regarding one's own sworn duty ...
February 02, 2020 at 02:16
And to think that the defense argues on procedural grounds. Shameless and without integrity.
February 02, 2020 at 02:13
For the very first time in American history, the president's defense team included most Senate members of his own party during impeachment proceedings...
February 02, 2020 at 01:04
A political sham. Shameful and very dangerous precedents are being set. A judge who allows a juror to remain despite that juror's public admission tha...
February 02, 2020 at 00:54
This makes no sense on my view. Meaning consists of correlations. Your asking me what meaning I would ascribe to the meaning of a term that is at the ...
February 02, 2020 at 00:25
No.
February 01, 2020 at 09:16
This is incoherent.
January 31, 2020 at 07:54
Glad to be such an inspiration... :wink:

You're not the boss of me. :wink:

If what Donald John Trump has done does not count as obstruction of justice then nothing will. There are many who are complicit as well.
January 30, 2020 at 15:59
The impeachment process itself has been corrupted. The Judge is allowing jury members who cannot perform the only job they have here...

When profit is the sole motive... to hell with what's good, right, just, best, moral...
January 30, 2020 at 15:55
Corruption is the problem. One general one anyway.
January 30, 2020 at 15:54
Trump is not the problem. Trump is a symptom thereof. Fox is not the problem either. The problem with an "anything goes" societal ethics is that anyth...
January 30, 2020 at 15:53
That would be thinking about thought as compared/contrasted to thinking about something other than thought. The term "require" is being used nonsensic...

Unless the tribe dethrones the chieftain.

Judge Kennedy can surely know that the framers did not intend for a Senate majority leader to publicly disavow his ability to do what he gave his word...
January 29, 2020 at 06:59
There's nothing to look into my friend. This is uncharted territory.
January 29, 2020 at 05:17
Judge Kennedy needs to do his job. A bit more than warning the kids to quit the practice of name calling.
January 29, 2020 at 05:09
McConnell, by his own admission, cannot execute the exclusive duty of Senate members to be an impartial witness during an impeachment trial in the Sen...

There is no way that the framers meant for a president to invoke executive privilege as a means to stop direct witness testimony of an impeachment pro...

Congressionally appropriated funds for Ukraine have nothing at all to do with Biden. Yet, Trump kept insisting upon tying the two together, as did Tru...
January 28, 2020 at 15:45
Distraction. It is not the reason Trump pressured Ukraine.

I want Alan Dershowitz to testify as a witness/expert opinion regarding the constitutionality of the current impeachment process. I think Trump is gui...

No matter what? Good thing you aren't making any important decisions around here. :smirk:
January 28, 2020 at 04:06
Current or future observations refute falsifiable hypotheses.
January 27, 2020 at 16:05
Falsifiable hypotheses can be shown to be false.
January 27, 2020 at 16:04
I second that... Thanks to for taking the time... The defense is diversion/distraction and amounts to throwing as much shit as possible against the Am...

All butter melts at some temperature less than one hundred degrees. So, I suppose I'm not seeing this problem that you're referring to.
January 26, 2020 at 21:50
You seem to have trouble with copying. Get what I wrote right first... As I said, pay attention.
