Was asked what gives the Chief Justice the authority to refuse to read a question from a senator (as Roberts did with Sen Paul question about the whistleblower.

Good q!

Thread/
2/ Former Senate Parliamentarian tells me: Article I, Section 3, Clause 6

"...When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside..."

Much there for the Chief Justice to decide at the time and in his discretion, with advice from counsel and others
ALSO: The Senate led by McConnell can always step in and overrule the Chief Justice by a simple majority vote.

It hasn’t.

Thread. Read. Learn. Understand.
THIS ☝️ is why no proof is ever needed to 'justify' US and Israeli "pre-emptive defence" war crimes.

Word 'magic'. And ✡️ 'values'.
If you do not understand the ✡️ psyche, ✡️ values, ✡️ 'morality', and ✡️ #law making and *interpretation*, then you do not understand anything about how 'our' world actually works.

You are ignorant, and blind.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Massive line-up outside courtroom 6-1, the largest courtroom at Superior Court for Day 1 of serial killer Bruce McArthur’s sentencing hearing. Everyone must go through a metal detector before entering the courtroom. Metal detectors at also the front doors of the courthouse
This morning we expect to hear a long version of the agreed statement of facts. That could take quite awhile as the crown will likely go through each victim. How they met Bruce McArthur, how they were killed, dismembered and disposed of.
Crown Attorney Michael Cantlon indicated last Tuesday when Bruce McArthur pleaded guilty to 8 counts of First Degree murder, that some family members of the victims have already indicated they will sit outside court when those details are read out. They will likely be horrifying

Watch live: anti-trans activists who pretend to root their activism in faux-feminism spread lies about trans people to give Heritage’s hateful rhetoric the veneer of bipartisanship.
Just kidding, please don't watch this.
One of the biggest lies underpinning the Right's use of anti-trans faux-feminists is their crocodile tears for the poor gay and lesbian kids and tomboy girls and femme boys.

"Some very young boys like to wear dresses! Hormone blockers erase these kids!"

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
