Thereās no way his people would allow him to without medication or a half dozen lawyers physically surrounding him.
Slick Willie, had I been old enough to watch politics I would have watched testify as well. I probably would have given him halfway good odds at coming out unscathed.
Clintonās testimony in the investigation of himself is where that famous line came from, where he said something like, āIt depends on what the definition of āisā is.ā
Exactly. They had at Bill until they had him totally painted into a corner, and the āāisā isā quote was the best he could come up with. This was a career lawyer who could think on his feet, and it took hours to get to this fumble. And, strictly speaking, I get what he was sayingāthat strictly speaking, the tense of āto beā > āisā is āpresent tenseā and that the truthful opposing statement would have been, āthere had been something going on with Lewinskiā. But everyone knew that was bullshit, and not just because he fumbled the delivery of his grammatical truth point.
Re: Trump. Strongly agree. I think Trump under oath would incriminate himself within about 500 words. Iād measure in sentences, but he doesnāt seem to speak in those anymore.
This impeachment is a weird game of Russian roulette, where probably the Senate will acquit him and voters wonāt really care about any of this by next November, but maybe, maybe, maybe, enough senators secretly hate him that heāll be out next month
Super unlikely. The right wing values loyalty so much, that otherwise perfectly staunch conservatives who donāt support Trump are treated as Traitors. Youād have to have a bunch of senators who hate Trump so much that theyād be fine ending their terms next year. Really, Pence is just not popular enough that anyone would wager their reelection chances on the consolation price of Prez. Pence. I just donāt see it. Suuuuuper unlikely.
Awkward metaphor. Itās more like Russian Roulette if the revolver has 1000 cylinders, and only 1 is missing a bullet.
I was going to make a joke, something about her name and a former job, but after a bit of Googling, and thus a reminder of Rule 34, now Iām just nauseous.
I think being unqualified if kind of part of their qualifications. The more qualified and committed to the law a judge is the less their political leanings will sway their decisions.
