I'm CONSTANTLY horrified & bemused by the same people who screamed "Read the Constitution!" every time a #Democrat was in the WH so CLEARLY never did so themselves.
#TheFoundingFathers SO strongly believed EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS BASIC INALIENABLE RIGHTS, that the right to #DueProcess does NOT apply only to "citizens".
THE ENTIRE REASON for having a prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (#Gitmo) was b/c if the prisoners were on U.S. soil, they'd have a right to a fair & speedy trial.
@realTuckFrumper
I SIMPLY DON'T UNDERSTAND how anyone is taking this "#immunity" claim seriously (particularly the #SupremeCourt.)
The requirement (as laid out in the #Constitution) for impeaching a president is "high crimes & misdemeanors".
Now how does one commit HC&M if #TheFoundingFathers believed the #POTUS was "above the law"??? ๐คจ
@noondlyt
I wonder if even THIS right-wing #SCotUS could be THAT stupid? ๐ค
The conditions (as laid out by #TheFoundingFathers) for #impeachment are for "High crimes & misdemeanors".
Now, how does a #Potus commit "High crimes or misdemeanors" if the Founders believed the Potus to be "above the law"???
Seriously? ๐
