Impeachment Case; Says Bolton Book Claims
Aren't Impeachable, Either

Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz gave what may be the most persuasive case against impeaching President Donald Trump while in the well of the U.S. Senate on Monday evening. Speaking as a representative of Trump's defense team, the lifelong liberal Democrat urged senators to not "let the feelings about one man, strong as they may be, cause irreparable damage" to the fate of other presidents. "Passion and fears of the moment must not blind us," he pleaded. Giving a clinic on the history of impeachment in a matter-of-fact and understandable way,

I think now that the Senators have had time to sleep on it they can see that this is just a "Hail Mary" the Democrats are throwing into the Trial. There is NO reason to have witnesses. There is NO reason to believe the accusations of Bolton, a man with an Axe to Grind for being fired from the Job he had lobbied for since Trump was elected. He wants revenge! Don't give it to him!

I completely agree, #1. I was spellbound. Dershowitz' presentation was eloquent, to the point, and surprisingly humble. He demolished Schiff in such a delicate way that Schiff probably thanked him afterwards. Any person who loves this country HAD TO have been in agreement with his remarkable defense. What a brilliant legal mind.

Bolton's "accusation" was characterized correctly by Rush who claims he tells people he doesn't want to go to the dentist but he does. Even if Trump said he wanted to tie aid to investigations, he didn't!

Does anyone for a millisecond beleive RINOs like Romney, Collins and Murkowski actually understood a word Dershowitz said? One thing we all know is true, elected House and Senate people are less intelligent than the average garden slug and facts, logic and common sense are capabilities far beyond their meager talents. I doubt a thing changes in the Senate. This joke keeps going and going as long as Rebublicans collapse to Dem last minute gotcha schemes.

Dersh is on Team Constitution in this case, and I am glad somebody is defending it as well as he did. He did a fantastic job IMO, and his other shoe analogy is one I hope the senators take to heart in a most serious way. For if they do not, they are setting the stage for disaster, and it will be on their heads even if they don't care a bit for the constitution. I suspect that the reason we haven't seen viewer numbers yet is because the media is trying desperately to hide the fact that millions of people watched day 1 of the Trump response and listened as the Obama/Biden presidency went into the congressional record for all time. The take down and listing of the corruption during those 8 years was quite impressive, and made me feel good that at least it is all laid out for anyone to see. If this is the same Victoria Taft who used to have a radio show in my area, I look forward to more writings from her. For she is a feisty and steady supporter of doing what is right. I suspect that McConnell and Trump are letting this play out for two reasons. One is that the corruption of democrats is being exposed on a grand scale to millions of people of all political views and is going into the congressional record for all posterity. Two, McConnell can no longer be accused of being unfair and partisan if he holds the vote rather than delay it. This has indeed gone on long enough, and it needs to be quashed for good.

The Dershowitz Test The test: Do you love the country and love the Constitution more than partisanship? Some Senators will make this clear with their votes concerning the impeachment of President Trump. The people will reject or retain the president in the upcoming election just months from now. It's interesting to note 150,000 people have requested tickets to hear the President tonight in New Jersey. These people, from all parties, love our country and Constitution. Do you?

Romney understands what Dershowitz said. Romney is a Harvard Law graduate who probably had Dershowitz as his professor or at least knew of him. Romney is pursuing a personal grievance that has nothing to do with what is legally correct.

I was never a Dershowitz fan because he has always been working for leftist causes. BUT, the most amazing thing is that he is an honest man, and will stand up for what is right....regardless of the politics of the issue. That is pretty rare these days. Lots of good wishes for Mr. Dershowitz, and he gets a lifetime spot on my "good guys" list, whether we might agree or not on a particular issue.

One of the most despicable things about the Biden administration is that, even as it doubles and triples down on the COVID restrictions it wants for Americans, it’s utterly unconcerned about the diseases flooding across the border along with the illegal aliens Biden is unconstitutionally welcoming in. The president and CEO of Greyhound Lines, though, is demanding that, at the very least, its workers and other passengers get protected from the COVID so many illegal aliens bring with them. From the start of his campaign, Biden weaponized the Wuhan virus against Trump. Informed and intelligent people realized very quickly that Trump was moving with extraordinary rapidity

Biden has issued Executive Orders that ban enforcing immigration law while simultaneously inviting in a new wave of illegal immigrants. These EOs also suspend deporting illegal immigrants, even those awaiting trial for felonies and other serious crimes, and signal that all new arrivals will be eligible for social benefits such as healthcare. Cesar Chavez’s struggle in the 1970s and ‘80s can help explain the impact this will have on labor markets in general and working-class Americans in particular. Chavez understood that illegal immigration diminishes workers’ earning power.

It began with throw pillows. Pillows shouldn't matter much, but like every decision we make now, they matter more than you think. The old sofa had to go. It had lasted 25 years, by some miracle. The old sofa was U.S.-made. Only 20% of today's furniture is. It was expensive; the store owner told us we'd be able re-upholster it down the road, though that would be expensive, too. He was right on both counts. He retired. His kids run the store now. We managed to find a new sofa, also made here. A different color. So we needed throw pillows.

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cited precedent and prerogatives of current presidents to justify putting a majority of Democrats on a so-called “1/6” panel to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, others in her party have another reason why they don’t want to seat many Republicans. Quite simply, some Democrats say, they don’t trust the post-Trump GOP to seriously probe the incident because they believe, without evidence thus far, that some Republican members were either in on it or responsible for it. “We do not owe delusional deniers a role or a platform in a commission designed to try to ferret out extremism and violence

This fortune cookie lived up to its name. Ernesto Sorzano’s Chinese-takeout dinner paid off big-time when he played the set of lucky numbers in his fortune cookie on a North Carolina Powerball ticket, according to UPI. Sorzano said he used the numbers when buying a $3 power-play ticket — and they ended up matching four of the winning ones, landing him $500,000. The Florida resident — who is in the process of moving to Huntersville, NC — told the news agency he’ll use his winnings to buy a new house there. “This was a good investment,” Sorzano said of his rice and shrimp dinner, plus dessert cookie.

Activist judges pushing a far-left agenda have been legislating from the bench, and a handful of Supreme Court Justices committed to upholding the Constitution is the only thing stopping the left's total transformation of the country. For that reason, Democrats have been lying in wait for the opportunity to take out the Supreme Court. Democrats are no longer hiding their disdain for the high court. Democrats openly admit to hostile court-packing plans that would stuff the Supreme Court full of activist judges who would then sign off on everything Democrats couldn't sneak past the voters.

Unfortunately, we also experienced the reality of large-scale private election funding for the first time — and in the process discovered the reason we had never allowed it before.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
