I think the Stone commutation should be challenged as the product of a criminal conspiracy. You can’t win the case you don’t bring. We made law in DC by bringing the fist case of urban warfare homicide liability for ALL participants in a gun battle committed in a manner that ...
endangered the lives of innocent bystanders. I was told it couldn’t be done because there was no precedent. We did it, and the DCCA sanctioned/adopted it as a lawful theory of homicide liability. I was told I could not try a killer in absentia from his hospital bed at the
United Medical Center after he starved himself into physical incapacitation such that he could not be transported to the courtroom to be present at the “commencement of his trial.” I was told it couldn’t be done because there is no precedent (indeed, there is contrary precedent).
Why has no one tried to put a stop to McConnell’s unconstitutional/illegal running of the Senate? He thwarts the will of the people by disallowing legislation to be debated. Regarding the Merrick Garland nomination, McConnell violated the constitutional “advice and consent”
requirement by refusing to allow a vote on President Obama’s SCOTUS nomination. Could the Obama administration have announced that, because McConnell violated the Constitution by refusing to hold a confirmation hearing, thereby wrongfully abdicating
the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities, Judge Garland will take his position on the Supreme Court because Mitch McConnell’s refusal to hold a hearing is deemed a waiver of the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities. What would have happened then?
