President Trump delivered a historic State of the Union Address on Tuesday night.
Upon entering the House chamber President Trump handed Speaker Pelosi a signed copy of his State of the Union speech as is required.
According to Carl Hibgie — US law requires that Pelosi preserve any official government document: [tweet]
Nancy Pelosi chose to very publicly destroy the document instead. [Video]
According to 18 U.S. Code § 2071.
(a)Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing,

Gosh... it's an anachronistic law...and, in this case, everyone who wants to see the printed speech can find it. Her lack of decorum and rudeness .. for everyone to see... is enough of a testament of her insanity than a vote to condemn her or charge with destruction of documents. It's a "trivial pursuit" at best.

#2, what law did Pres. Trump break? She should at least be censured. (But, it would be really nice if, after trying to take out Pres. Trump, she herself was taken out of office!!!!)

The only way you'll remove her from office is with a stretcher. She should be censured, for sure, though, at a minimum.

Pelosi just gave every GOP House member running for election a killer political add for nothing.

She is living in her world of hell right now. I can only imagine that she is in her own special state of insanity and that darkness for her is comforting to her. For her there is no god. Only her personal ego and quest for power which in the end means nothing. She is a very unhappy person and her outward actions show that inside she is a total bitter hateful and spiteful hopeless lost soul. She is sick mentally physically and spiritually. All the signs are there that she suffers from alcoholism. How much did she have to drink before and after the speech? Probably a lot.

#7, I can see it now... In the ad, have every person pictured who was recognized and what they've accomplished, talk about black and Hispanic unemployment, and wanting to stop sanctuary cities, then show her ripping it up, and say See, The Dems really don't want you to experience success and the freedom that comes with it.

This is a perfect example of the extreme double standards of the dems. Republicans can be impeached on a whim but dems can flaunt and break the law at will. The only law dems care about are the ones that benefit them. That is NO law. That is anarchy.

The fact that she tore it up reveals several things. It was very similar to someone throwing the game board after they lose a game. There are at least three things that have to have been true for her to do it. 1. She must have felt she was fully and completely beaten. She has tried and tried to defeat PDT. Impeachment, Muller, Bad press. And he just keeps getting more popular. This speech was filled with accomplishments, any single one of which would have made any president proud. PDT did them all. 2. The stakes must be high. No one wastes big displays on small defeats. The President brought out his plans, all of which played well, and all of which are heresy to the Democrats. Same with his accomplishments. 3. She must hate him passionately. No one throws a public fit of this magnitude without having feelings only hatred can bring out. No other president reminds you so blatantly how much he has beaten you than President Trump. I believe Nasty Nan was telling the truth when she said that was the only socially acceptable display that she could have used. In spite of her using every dirty, illegal trick and the blatant help from the press, he daily accomplishes fantastic things. She must have felt like jumping on his back and screaming. Thanks for letting us know how well we are winning Nan!

Sandy Berger in a white dress. The President should at least scare her with the threat of punishment for what she did. Imagine the crying and gnashing of false teeth that would cause.

Readers forget that on December 19th that Nancy said her religion prevented her from hating President Trump. Despise him, revile him, spit on him for doing such a great job for Americans, of course. But not hate him. If she hated the President, she would have set the papers on fire during the speech and not torn them up. She also made the document comfortable before her decision to terminate it

Well we'll well. Someone in the House finally delivers indisputable evidence of an impeachable offense.

Who is responsible for enforcing the Laws? Laws that are not enforced are worth nothing. It's like having a Stop sign that every runs through or not paying your taxes. WHY is it that there won't be any consequences for what she did before the world? Trump should insist that the law is followed no matter how much foot stomping from the Democrats. Does anyone think if a Republican did something like that Adam Schiff wouldn't scream for them to pay a price? What the Speaker of the House did should not be ignored. SHE needs to pay a price!

Remove her from office. Lock her up.
Investigate how her husband made millions off her decisions as Speaker, then lock THEM up.
They made their bed. Being a political figure doesn't exempt you from regular crimes or crimes against the Constitution.

The word "law" is meaningless. Power has supplanted law. Words matter, they are used to represent agreements. When you change a word or the meaning of a word you change the "agreement." Clearly some people are above the law but no one is above the power. The power no longer resides with the people as it once was assured by words.
We have so many laws it's impossible to get through a day without breaking some law. Those with power get to decide when or when not to enforce them. The proliferation of laws, regulations and the selective enforcement of them, has facilitated creeping dictatorial power hiding under the facade of the constitutional republic.
By calling laws "regulations" we don't need due process and balance of powers or a presumption of innocence. It's a way around the constitution.

Twist Shakespeare a little:
"Richard: "Off with his head!" King Richard III (III, iv, 76) Richard shouts these words in the Tower of London, where he has accused Lord Hastings of plotting to destroy him."
"Lonestar Jack: "Off with her head!" Texas (right now) Lonestar shouts these words on the plains of Texas, where he has accused Nancy Pelosi of plotting to destroy our duly elected President Doinald J. Trump."

I hate to agree with poster #6, but so far I haven't seen much action from Mr. Barr.
According to the posting ot the law. Pelosi is indeed guilty,but why waste time on a futile effort.
Nancy Pelosi will not be charged , nor will she face an ethics complaint.
But there are other things and other people who are guilty that Mr. barr should be going after and isn't.
Politics is a truly corrupt business.
AND a get out of jail free card for it's major participants.

If AG Barr acts now, the Left will use this as Trump trying to influence the election. And as Mini Mike has millions to spend on attacking PDJT, these accusations will be pumped into every home in America, all day, every day.
It would be better if Barr and Durham hold their fire until after the election.

Wonder if she truly realizes that her legacy in history is hanging on by the thinnest of threads right now? Does she even care anymore? It is truly sad and pathetic to watch arrogance drive a person to madness as it is Speaker Pelosi. Her Captain Ahab-like obsession is painful to watch.

Wouldn't it be nice if we have a referendum attached to our ballots this November regarding this issue with Mrs. Pelosi - truly let the people decide whether she should be charged and which of the three possible outcomes suits her. With a precedent set Mrs. C should be next. Nan can easily afford any fine, so a short rest in jail and removal from office would be my vote. The other gal has much more serious charges and her term in jail should be back-to-back for each offense she is found guilty of. I think I'll fashion a tinfoil bedcap and go back to dreamland.

Leftists aren't used to Pubbies fighting back. She thought she had a spectacle. She likely didn't count on the Pubbies pulling out the Congressional rule book and throw it at her!!
