  • This Republican administration is doing everything in its power to establish the precedent that it can disappear whoever it wants into a foreign prison over which even the leader of that nation claims to have no aithority, and further that it can do so whenever it wants, for any reason it wants, entirelybregardless of any other governmental ruling, including a direct court order.

    Very obviously, this is not a power that an office in a nation of liberty and justice should ever possess, for any reason, ever.

    One would think that Republicans would be particularly determined in their opposition to that, rather than being the ones responsible for it.





  • So they’re basically voting explicitly to void the Constitution.

    Interesting tidbit there…

    Clinton was impeached for perjury - specifically for lying under osth.

    The thing is though that the “lying” part of it wasn’t the actual crime. The “under oath” part is the actual crime. Perjury is actually the violation of a legally sworn oath, and it’s just that the oath to tell the truth in a court is the one most often violated

    But violaing an oath of office is also technically perjury, and a crime, and impeachable. And congresspeople swear oaths to, among other things, uphold the Constitution.

    So that could be interesting if the Democrats demolish the Republicans in the midterms.

    It likely won’t be, since Congresspeople are pretty much universally corrupt cowards, but still…
