Since when does abuse of power not count as a high - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 08:49:04

Since when have you cared what the founders intended? (nm) - ummmm MU - 12/10 08:54:24

Regularly, in fact - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 08:56:12

No you don’t. Try “never” instead of regularly (nm) - pickle MU

You just proved my point. (nm) - ummmm MU - 12/10 08:59:31

good. But as you refuse to acknowledge or potentially - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 09:00:35

We're not talking about the world at large here. - ummmm MU - 12/10 09:03:43

I'm saying that it should not be absolute meaning 100% - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 09:06:07

But it does have absolute meaning (nm) - pickle MU

Blue doesn't like the absolute meaning sometimes - ashtray UF - 12/10 09:27:45

not at all. Nothing to do with party (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 09:28:09

It has everything to do with party (nm) - pickle MU

- 12/10 11:09:27

It has absolute meaning. The words were written and - ummmm MU - 12/10 09:09:37

don't you think the Constitution should be? - ashtray UF - 12/10 09:02:19

To have a basis of protections for citizens from gov't - MrBlueSky MU - 12/10 09:05:12

Of all the truly ignorant things you have ever said - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 12/10 09:14:52

that's a horrible idea - ashtray UF - 12/10 09:10:38

And it's unworkable. How are we supposed to know if - ummmm MU - 12/10 09:12:02

or acting constitutionally with anything? - ashtray UF - 12/10 09:14:32

That basis of protection is not absolute, as you just - ummmm MU - 12/10 09:08:18

The context of this charge, and the fact that it is really - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 12/10 08:51:48

Okay, well that's a different issue than this: - ummmm MU - 12/10 08:53:38

Nah - it will trigger two things - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 12/10 08:43:24

yeah, they should have drawn up bribery - ashtray UF - 12/10 08:36:47

Both of these charges are very subjective and neither - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 12/10 08:45:16

Which would have specific actions that would have to be - DHighlander NWMSU - 12/10 09:32:39

I think they will still have to prove specific acts - ashtray UF - 12/10 09:33:49

I think they will simply throw every grievance they have . - DHighlander NWMSU - 12/10 09:52:03
