Federal judge accuses the DOJ of hypocrisy for ‘flouting’ Biden impeachment inquiry subpoenas

Congress can certainly look at private citizens. The famous instance of Joe McCarthy and the Committee on Un-American Activities is the most obvious example.
Of course, we know how that turned out.

This time around the righties have made their own bed and now don't like it. Trump ordered staff members not to testify and ignore subpoenas. Other Republicans followed suit.

Now they don't like it because their weaponization of the House committee system is the weaker for it.

 

If you did when you thought Trump did, hard to not complain now.

 

You mean the HOUSE Committee on Un-American Activities?

 

It's ongoing have you missed it? Have the Biden's turned over the records yet? Has Hunter given the public testimony he demanded? Have they document the business records yet including the loans?

We still got a ways to go to make sure we get it ALL as much as you want a cover up.

The one you attempted.

I believe you were one of the ones who said the only reason that Trump got off in the Russiagate thingy was that he could not be taken to court because he was President? Is my memory failing me? Hunter just attempted to get his COURT charges dropped and lost on all accounts so his trial will be beginning did you miss that? Did you even know Hunter had been indicted and going to trail on criminal charges?

 

Why, yes I do !

Gomer and his gomerettes are well on their way to an even bigger failure than the HCUA.

 

Sotomayor was picked to pander to latinos. Kagan filled three quotas-Jewish, Gay, female plus she's hard left as is Sotomayor

 

Yeah that's some gospel there. Gun banners hate Thomas because he's the best on the second amendment .

 

You mean Sotomayor was picked to REPRESENT Latinos who are the fasted growing demographic in this country.

Good that Kagan fulfilled all your dreams.
The court needs to be balanced for all the fascist righties who have been on and added to the court.

 

so you on the woke left think that the purpose of the supreme court is to be a REPRESENTATIVE BODY? OMG is that hilarious

 

So you on the fascist right think that the purpose of the Supreme Court is to keep us in the 18th century ? OMG that is hilarious.

 

why do you dishonestly misinterpret what I posted? is it because you cannot actually address my point. The purpose of the supreme court is to apply the constitution as it was intended to be applied and to decide if laws passed by congress are in violation of the constitution. I realize the woke left hates the constitution and thinks it is an obstacle to their creeping crud of collectivist leftwing authoritarian schemes.

again-do you think the purpose of the supreme court is to be a representative body?

 

Why do you dishonestly misrepresent what I posted ? Is it because you cannot actually address my point ? The purpose of the Supreme Court is to apply the constitution. Given that the originators could not possibly forsee the future , the difference in interpretation boils down to an originalist or a “living document” interpretation. I realize that fascist righties don’t like “interpretations” because they tend to be, realistically , progressive and modern. The originators of the Constitution could not have foreseen the invention of the Gatling gun and nukes.

“Collective leftewing authoritarian schemes” are just crap posited by fascist righties to advance their agenda.

Yes, the Supreme Court has to reflect the values of the times. If not, Brown v Board of Education would have never been overturned.

 

that's completely silly. if you want to change the constitution, then amend it versus the leftwing scheme of changing the meaning of the document. Gatling guns were easily contemplated. Of course to leftists who know nothing of firearms, they are ignorant to the Puckle gun which was an early version of the gatling style weapon. ANYONE CAN EASILY contemplate a firearm that shoots more rapidly than one they currently can obtain just as any race car driver in the 1920s figured at some point, those winning the indy 500 would be averaging more than 200 MPH.

and the purpose of the second amendment doesn't change based on the rapidity of fire from small arms. it's all about the fact that the federal government didn't have any proper power to interfere with the arms of the citizenry

 

Nice deflection.
News flash. The constitution has been amended several times since it was ratified. And not by “left wing scheme”.

BTW, am I permitted to have a nuke in my basement as per the 2nd Amendment ?
It is, after all, an “arm”.

 

Yes, I support amendments, I oppose crap like Wickard style rulings where the FDR pets on the court pretended that the Commerce clause allowed congress all sorts of powers that were specifically NOT granted the Government in the constitution,

 

that's a tenth amendment issue not a second amendment one.

 

Gee, you must have been outraged when Miguel Estrada was borked by Democrats, think of all those poor Hispanics that weren't represented!

On Thursday, Miguel Estrada asked President Bush to withdraw his nomination as the first Hispanic on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Estrada’s nomination had been held up for well over two years. Despite impeccable credentials and a bipartisan majority supporting his confirmation, 45 Democratic senators persisted in a filibuster through seven attempts at cloture. Given his record, why did these Democrats block Estrada’s nomination? Put simply, because he is a Hispanic who broke from the party fold.

Despite their inevitable protesting to the contrary, it is clear that Ted Kennedy’s gang of 45 discriminated against Estrada because he is Hispanic, like they discriminate against another nominee, William Pryor, for his devout Catholicism.

First, the Democrats treated Estrada differently than non-minority nominees. In the D.C. Circuit, for example, John Roberts, a white applicant, was confirmed without fanfare, while Estrada was filibustered. But aside from ethnicity, there are few substantive differences between the candidates: Both were voted unanimously well-qualified by the American Bar Association; both went to prestigious law schools; both clerked for the Supreme Court; both worked at the Justice Department; and both went on to prestigious law firms where they argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court. And yet John Roberts was asked relatively few questions during his confirmation hearing, while Estrada was pummeled with over 200. Roberts, nominated the same day as Estrada, was confirmed by the Senate on a voice vote, while Estrada was denied the opportunity to even have a vote.

Democratic Racism: The Real Reason Behind the Borking of Estrada - Ashbrook

 

[

thomas was to pander to blacks, Kavanaugh to drunks, and Amy to repressed cahtolic broads
Alito to pander to gays, my friend sister‘s mother‘s cousin said he secretly a homosexual

 

that so stupid I am laughing. and I think you know it is stupid. As to Thomas-since three of my closer friends were part of that decision let me edify you as to facts. After Bork was denied a seat he should have received, the democrats in the senate flexed their muscles. When Thurgood Marshall's seat opened up-Senate Majority leader Mitchell told White House counsel attorneys that if Bush picked someone other than a BLACK, that nominee would be "Borked". Thomas, who was a top student at the College of the Holy Cross (a strong liberal arts college) and top half of his class (something Clinton didn't accomplish) at Yale Law and who had both federal administrative and judicial experience, was the best choice from an extremely limited pool of candidates. BUT FOR MITCHELL, the seat would have most likely gone to a white male.

The Crap about Kavanaugh being a drunk is just idiotic. He had an exemplary record on the DC court of appeals. Barrett, according to the Dean of Notre Dame, was the best student that school produced in THIRTY YEARS. now you all are clamoring about Kamala Harris being on the Supreme Court and you complain about the credentials of those justices? Give me a break

 

My old college roommate, former Acting AG Peter Keisler-Yale Magna Cum Laude, top of his class at Yale law, clerk for Assoc Justice Kennedy was treated the same as Estrada. There were undertones that Keisler-a Jew-was upsetting to the left because they thought all Jews should be leftists. Others were mad that he was a founder of the federalist society..

when People whined about what happened to Meritless Garland, I had no sympathy after what was done to Estrada and Keisler

 

Wow I’m clamoring for kamala? That’s news to me! lol
So you deny Thomas was pandering and then admit he was lol

 

you just didn't bother reading what I wrote==BUSH HAD TO PICK a black or the Democrats would have blocked the appointment

 

So he pandered but it was the dems fault lol

 

again-he was forced to by the Democrats. it was pick a black candidate if he wanted to fill the seat

You dont' seem to understand the term "pander"

if a robber puts a gun in your back and says "Gimme your wallet" are you pandering to him if you do?

get a dictionary, look up the term

 

Wow so he was bushs affirmative action pick?

lol forced by the dems. Pretty sure none of them wanted him.
