The demographic shift due to the flood of illegal and legal immigration into America will bring a one-party rule. First it will be the presidency, and eventually the Senate and the House. This is the path we are on. This is the destiny we will have. And the Democrats from top to bottom can smell it. They are stupid with power lust and simultaneously hysterical with frustration with the Bad Orange Man.
The Lefties learned from 2010 that getting universal healthcare was not the holy grail of progressivism. Obamacare was gutted after Trump was elected, as it should have been. The Dems are gnashing their teeth with the regret of having both houses and the White House in 2008 and not passing amnesty. In one stroke, the Lefties could have ushered in the golden age of Socialism by turning 30 million foreigners into democrat voters. Except for Donaldus Magnus.
And to ramp up their situational awareness, the quiet ticking sound in the background is the ongoing investigations of their treachery and greed. Their window of opportunity is closing. They are manic with malicious ambition and terrified of a decimation of their party.
The Trumpster is reversing the ratchet effect of creeping governmental domination. He is moving the ball up the field instead of down. He is undoing the agenda of Barrack Mohammed Obama.
Stuck between these two extremes, total dominance and utter annihilation, their desperate fury is scorching the earth with the game clock winding down. So, the screaming meanies are in full battle mode with their allies in the media. They threw everything at him. The kitchen sink did not work either. Now, it is the fake impeachment ploy. At most, this will only scratch the surface of the mounting momentum of the Trumpster’s re-election. And they can smell that too.
The sweet aroma of absolute power and the stench of burning flesh of their destruction are driving them mad. We use the shortcut of Dem for Democrat. Now we can use Dem as in Lock Dem Up.
I like the rant - it gets the gist across while not turning into the tome it could be if one wanted to “be thorough”...
FReepers appreciate your donation - would be willing to put up with a lot of pap from those who refuse to donate and think we care what they have to say. If they would shake loose with a few bucks now and then...but their words don’t count as much as those of a mind to pay their own way...being invested in FReedom tends to make posts more relevant....hence my tagline.
They had total control in 2008 but were scared to pull the trigger and go all the way to their communistic utopia.
They won’t be so timid next time
Currently the Legislative Branch is expressing their “impeachment authority” as part of the Legislative Branch purpose.
So that raises the issue of an entirely different type of subpoena: A demand from congress that penetrates the constitutional separation of powers
and further penetrates the legal authority of Executive Branch executive privilege.
======================================
POINTS TO PONDER
It was separately established by SCOTUS during the Nixon impeachment investigation that
*IF* the full House votes to have the Judiciary Committee commence an impeachment investigation,
then the Judiciary Committee has subpoena power that can overcome executive privilege claims.
<><> There has been NO VOTE to create that level of subpoena power.
<><> ergo, the House has not created a process to penetrate the constitutionally inherent separation of powers,
<><> nor the legally recognized firewall known as ‘executive privilege’.
<><> a House vote authorizes the committee impeachment investigation,
<><> only then does the committee gains judicial enforcement authority.
<><> thus creating the penalty for non-compliance with an impeachment subpoena.
======================================
A demand letter only becomes a “subpoena” (technically ‘a request for the production of documents with a penalty for non-compliance’) when the committee has judicial enforcement authority.
Only then does that process establish an enforcement penalty.
The current demand letters cannot carry a penalty because the demands do not contain judicial enforcement authority....simply because the impeachment investigation was not authorized by the chamber.
The reason judicial enforcement authority is constitutionally required is because creating Judicial enforcement authority, creating the penalty for non-compliance, gives the Executive Branch a process to appeal any legislative demand via the Judicial Branch (federal courts).
Absent a penalty for non-compliance, which factually makes a subpoena a ‘subpoena’, the Executive Branch has no process to engage an appellate review by federal courts.
This, then, is the purposeful trick within the Pelosi/Lawfare road-map.
