Even though only months into the Trump administration, it is clear that an election has been hijacked and a political sociopath is now in the most important job in the world. The Russian connection will drive this man from office, I believe, within three years. Our Constitution gives us three chances to live on before four dreadful years allow us to be rid of this catastrophe. They are the impeachment clause, the 25th Amendment, and the clause providing for a trial for treason.
In 1787 when the Constitution was struck in Philadelphia, our English forebears' were debating in Parliament the impeachment of Warren Hastings, governor-general of India. In colonial times their precedents went back through the Stuarts, who pretended to be tough, to the Tudors, who really were. In English law, impeachment was a criminal process, and while we kept the English criminal language, we stripped from the English law all criminal punishments. The only penalty was removal from office and, perhaps not allowing the convicted defendants to ever again run for office or vote. Of course crimes were often impeachable but so were civil wrongs of the right "wrong" nature. "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" remains our constitutional language....

I was telling a college student the other day that it is good that I am not attending college. I would be forced to bitch-slap some professors.
The fantasies of idiots and morons are always a good read until you get to the second paragraph...
If you can stand more than that you have more patience than I do for the stupid and ignorant..
Let me know if this fantasy ever comes true, but I will not be holding my breath..
Maybe someone needs to send the author a road map back to reality.
He really hits the idea that Trump is guilty of treason. There are only three things missing—any evidence of “collusion,” any evidence that even one vote was changed because of supposed Russian interference, and the fact that the US has never declared war on Russia. It’s a stretch to say that Trump gave “aid and comfort” to Putin by saying a couple of nice things about him (as GWB did earlier), but Putin is not legally an enemy of the United States.
The author is a “Perfesser” at the University of Utah Law School.
Pity the poor ConLaw 1 student who draws the class of the creator of this ignominious pasquinade.
I didn’t want decrease my IQ by reading beyond the first few words. Just when you think someone can get any lower on the scale; along comes something like this...
I had run-ins with a handful of left-wing professors when I was in college nearly thirty years ago. And I didn’t even know what “left-wing” was back then! I just knew they were biased and ripping me off by teaching (if you call it that) from one perspective or spewing nonsensical psychobabble in place of actual knowledge.
Sad to see it not only continuing but on steroids.
Bwahahaha
Delusion runs deep
Wonder what his FR signon name is?
I wasn’t gonna say it.
>> I believe Russian money by the millions will be found in offshore accounts into Donald Trump and his associates’ pockets.<<
Once again, a dim’s extremely limited view of the world bites him in the butt. Donald Trump is worth an estimated 8 BILLION dollars. Millions of dollars are essentially sofa change to him.
The super-duper rich only use money for one thing: keeping score. Donald Trump is now in a completely different game with completely different scoring system.
These idiots in general and this idiot in particular think the clintons and obozos in their maniacal pursuit of lucre is normal. That just isn’t so for most of the Presidents we have had. Reagan, both Bushes and Trump had/have no need for more money and that is not why they pursued nor used the Presidency.
How old is this guy? And he thinks and writes like a 14 year old drunk on lunatic propaganda.
Russia Russia Russia.
Forget about that illegal server. Forget about stealing the d-rat nomination from sanders. Forget about pay for play.
Russia Russia Russia.
Not only that, but does he think Trump would actually itemize “bribes” from Russia on his 1040 form? LOL
I thought it said Professor Irwin Corey
It's also defined jackass as "providing aid and comfort to the enemy". You know, like holding a clearance sale at Gitmo prison effectively reinforcing the enemy for 8 long years, or releasing 5 Taliban commanders for a defector to the enemy, or giving the #1 sponsor of terrorism Iran $33 billion dollars effectively financing terror via Iran or arming Al Qaeda to take out the leader of a completely neutral country - Libya - destroying millions of lives and creating a mass refugee crisis, then incredibly, protecting Al Qaeda by lying after they killed 4 Americans including a US Ambassador or assisting a terrorist organization like the Muslim brotherhood take over the country of Egypt after which the people rebelled. You want to talk treason mofo??
Wait wait wait wait. Surely they mean Professor Edwin Corey, not Professor Edwin Firmage, wrote this.
First of all, it’s hilarious to think that there are numerous deluded law students turned lawyers who were taught by this imbecile. It should be his fiduciary responsibility to release the names of all his students who passed his class — because I suspect that any dimwits who passed his class should NOT be hired to be an attorney.
2. it bugs me when people conflate impeachment with removal. They are two related, yet completely distinct, actions by the Congress. And it’s especially annoying for a law professor to be so dumb as to use “impeachment” to cover the entire process of impeachment, trial and then removal by 2/3 of the Senate
3. there was something useful — if it is true. I didn’t realize that the Medieval practice of quartering was to keep the body parts from finding each other on resurrection day.
Other than that little tidbit of Tudor and Middle Ages savagery, it’s complete drivel.
Imbecile
