Were the opposition to match tit-for-tat these Democratic means, then the republic would not survive.

Most legal experts, Left and Right, have noted:
1) Bragg promised in advance that he would try to find a way to indict Trump.

You: You make a pitiful, weak argument and ignore the big picture..
So you don't want the original Constitution? You want the one with the 16th and 17th amendments?
This is what I was responding to. Goodbye......
“.....with a New Constitution”
No, restore the original. It is best.
And I was agreeing with you noting that "Especially considering that the 16th and 17th amendments have been a disaster."
To which you replied: You make a pitiful, weak argument and ignore the big picture..
An attack for which I requested clarification regarding the 16th and 17th, because I originally thought we were on the same side. (i.e. restore the Constitution to its original passage, with just the original ten amendments in the BOR
Instead you chose to be an insufferable twat. Which is your right under the 1st.
“Instead you chose to be an insufferable twat”.
Sorry about that. I guess I’m getting old.
