@blakesmustache @cspan Indeed. Having been a prosecutor dealing with grand and petit (12 person) juries, I’m expecting the Judiciary Committee to collect evidence before listing the charges. OBSTRUCTION EMOLUMENTS
and NATIONAL SECURITY have been topics they investigate and litigate. #FollowTheFacts
@blakesmustache @cspan Anyone who participated in a grand jury or in a felony preliminary hearing presents the facts from an inspector and the live witnesses themselves. Although only an inspector is required in CA (with the case file being hearsay), we used live witnesses to test their credibility....
@blakesmustache @cspan ... and to let defendants know that the witness was going to show up. My cases were domestic violence and sex assault so witness intimidation was REAL and sometimes we added tampering charges against defendants. Here, Mueller was the Inspector not a live witness. We need both!
@blakesmustache @cspan So Judiciary has to litigate to get the live witnesses before the Committee. Last summer Nancy Pelosi warned you that Kavanaugh was nominated BECAUSE he would protect Trump. Giuliani said that Trump would fight subpoenas to the Supreme Court; Newt agreed: thehill.com/blogs/blog-bri…
@blakesmustache @cspan From the month she got the gavel, Madam Speaker has been in court: fighting to defend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; intervening to oppose the Census Citizenship Question; litigating to get live evidence for 6 House committees. That’s her path!#FollowTheFacts

Respectfully @Rosbake1 I’ve known Kamala Harris since law school — your analysis is flat wrong. Having manners is different than leaving people behind. Harris has excellent courtroom demeaner yet never yielded to old bull judges; I doubt she’d yield to old bull segregationists.
Do lawyers and Congresspeople have to exhibit manners and *civility*? Of course! But the key issue here is when you make the deals - in the courtroom where 98% of cases settle without trial or in the Congress where all must compromise - did you leave people behind? Kamala didn’t.
The analysis isn’t therefore “would you be civil to segregationists?” but “would you leave people behind in cutting a legislative deal with segregationists? Would you find common cause with them to specifically leave people behind?” Answers for the Kamala I know: No and no.

You know what’s sober? The evidence against Trump - and the judge ruling that upholds Dem subpoena for Trump financial records politi.co/2JPw8ou via @politico
It’s “simply not fathomable that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a president for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct past or present even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry”
The sobriety of THAT ruling in favor of Speaker Pelosi and the US House of Representatives having the Constitutional right to Trump’s financial records WITH OR WITHOUT IMPEACHMENT is what has 45 shook. He can’t delay by waiting for impeachment — the evidence is coming regardless.

We have reviewed the video of the media interview by the Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and surmised that President @MBuhari should save the judiciary and the nation further troubles by immediately throwing in the towel...
...and vacating the presidential seat following the official admission that he (Buhari) does not possess a WAEC certificate, contrary to his claims and disposition before the law
Our party mocks the Buhari Presidency for pushing out the video wherein the Minister pleaded with Nigerians to pardon President Buhari over his false WAEC certificate claims.

1. The House Democrats appear to be taking off the table the threat of jailing Trump officials who continue to defy congressional subpoenas. That would be a mistake.
2. They are, I think, moving in the right direction. A resolution heading to the floor on June 11 would give the House Judiciary Committee sweeping powers to bring future contempt charges.
3. The measure would find Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn in civil contempt, a move that if passed would trigger a lawsuit over who gets what kind of access to people and documents.

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.

Judiciary Committee Seeks Documentary Evidence, Releases Original Ford Letter Ahead of Kavanaugh Hearing

@drawandstrike @ThomasWictor @HNIJohnMiller @catesduane @rising_serpent @_ImperatorRex_ @Debradelai @GodlessNZ @almostjingo @tracybeanz

grassley.senate.gov/news/news-rele…
WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee today called on Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to disclose before Thursday’s hearing evidence related to Dr. Ford’s allegations dating back to their high school days more than 35 years ago.
Chairman Grassley also released the original letter that Dr. Ford first sent to Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein back in July, which Feinstein kept hidden from most of her colleagues for nearly six weeks, until last Thursday.
