All that will happen now is more violence and potentially more death from both left and right. You don't broker peace with an opposition followers by canonising Trump in the eyes of his supporters. Trump has shown he is incapable of stepping down willingly , so he has to be taken down for good ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Impeaching a former president, the wobbly precedents notwithstanding, would represent the large expansion of the impeachment power of the Congress. I think the Roberts SC would nullify any legal action arising from such a decision, as I have outlined. Really? "In 1993, the Supreme Court held that it’s not for the courts to review the propriety of impeachments. As Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote, neither any extrinsic evidence from the Constitutional Convention nor contemporaneous commentary suggested that the founders even contemplated “the possibility of judicial review in the context of the impeachment powers.” It’s ultimately Congress’s call — for former officers as much as current ones."

Popular Post ballpoint 15,573 Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 (edited) "Trump has been consumed by the unraveling of his presidency during his last days in office, according to people around him, which included a casual discussion among advisers recently about a possible resignation. Trump shut the idea down almost immediately. And he has made clear to aides in separate conversations that mere mention of President Richard Nixon, the last president to resign, was banned." Trump explodes at Nixon comparisons as he prepares to leave office - CNNPolitics I get the impression he's stalking the corridors of the Whitehouse, muttering to himself, not trusting anyone around him, and shouting at the shadows. Perhaps, in another hundred years or so, a new Shakespeare will come along and write "Donald the First". Maybe drawing upon Macbeth along the way: (Donald is) "but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Edited Monday at 06:12 AM by onthedarkside quote of hidden post removed 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
