Alan Dershowitz Explains How the Supreme Court Just ‘Pulled the Rug Out of Part Two of Impeachment’
CF Conservative Fighters ^ | December 14, 2019

Posted on 12/15/2019 4:17:14 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Alan Dershowitz believes one of the “most important” developments in the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump happened Friday.

Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday, the Harvard law professor explained the Supreme Court — by agreeing to hear a trio of cases involving subpoenas for the president’s financial records — just “pulled the rug out of part two of impeachment.” . . .

“Now, we don’t know how the court is going to come out. But they made it clear that’s a viable issue,” Dershowitz went on to say. “So, that charge, that ground of impeachment, should be immediately removed by the House and not sent to the Senate. There’s nothing to it anymore after the Supreme Court today said you’re entitled to a review on an issue when the president challenges the subpoena power of Congress.”

So the Dims are trying to impeach Trump on obstruction of congress while the SCOTUS is reviewing if the president has to answer congressional subpoenas.

What the Dems need to do is tell the courts they can't review the case.

Dershowitz was on Levin's show last night. I wasn't listening carefully but basically he was saying 1) that he voted for ILLary and 2) that this whole impeachment thing is a disgrace...a serious violation of the intent of the Founders regarding the subject of impeachment.

Exactly so. The whole notion of Checks and Balances is now being perceived as Obstruction of the Democrats in Congress. Apparently, no one has the right to stand in their way.

Impeaching because of hatred, should be overturned by the Supremes.

The courts are just trying to keep their place as a co-Equal branch of government. With the Botox Babe encouraging her minions to keep saying Article l is superior t Article ll, then it means Article lll is subservient to the two above.

Congress is trying to cut out the courts completely.

Democrat friends and relatives must be ostracized for Christmas

They have these last two weeks forfeited their right to not only co existence, but are no longer fit to be part of America.

It’s hard, but if they come to visit, they must be turned away, ostracized.

I avoid my democrat relatives like the plague. Luckily none of them live in visiting distance so I can pull this off.

Or, you could make Christmas all about Jesus by putting up a nativity scene instead of a Christmas Tree and telling wonderful stories about His love. They’ll be so uncomfortable they’ll slip out through the bathroom window.

Yep, this is a full-stop question: The republic stands or falls based on it. Seriously.

That is the exact question we have been asking since Jan 2017, and will be asking for God-knows-how-long.

It’s like being impeached for going to court for your speeding ticket instead of paying immediately by website or mail.

I get it - the so called/faux “obstruction” article of “impeachment” is a farce and the Supreme Court is signaling that it us aware of this by taking on these cases.

Ignoring the subpoenas falls under legitimate executive privilege, and the Court knows this - it is not even a gray area.

President Trump knows the game is being played for all the marbles.

He will take strong action

If you can’t bring yourself to believe that, then you believe the President is stupid. (Generic statement, not directed at you personally)
