Over 500 Constitutional Scholars Sign Letter to Congress: "Impeachable!"

" (CNN)More than 500 legal scholars signed on to a letter published Friday accusing President Donald Trump of having "engaged in impeachable conduct" in his dealings in Ukraine.
"There is overwhelming evidence that President Trump betrayed his oath of office by seeking to use presidential power to pressure a foreign government to help him distort an American election, for his personal and political benefit, at the direct expense of national security interests as determined by Congress," they wrote. "His conduct is precisely the type of threat to our democracy that the Founders feared when they included the remedy of impeachment in the Constitution."
The letter comes after four other legal scholars testified at the first House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing Wednesday, with three of them making the case for impeaching Trump.
The dozens of academics -- hailing from a variety of educational institutions including Yale, Columbia and Rutgers -- said in the letter that they were not taking a stance on whether Trump committed a crime.

"But conduct need not be criminal to be impeachable," the group added. "The standard here is constitutional; it does not depend on what Congress has chosen to criminalize."
They pointed to treason and bribery as the two potential charges prompting impeachment "because they include conduct undertaken not in the 'faithful execution' of public office that the Constitution requires, but instead for personal gain (bribery) or to benefit a foreign enemy (treason).""

Someone isn't a scholar because they say what you want to hear. You're confused.

PT's definition of "scholar" is someone that agrees with him.

Hello evince,



Having a dysfunctional education system helps the Republican party tremendously.

If people were better educated they would be better able to distinguish fact from opinion. Since so many Americans are unable to do this, it allows 'infotainment' opinion shows like Fox to be swallowed as fact, when really, the are mostly opinion, cherry-picking and spin.

This is surely the the results of a dysfunctional education system...




...and obviously, you're a part of it's dysfunction.

Polisquawker is an arrogant son of a bitch!!

[cancel2 2022]

Republicans have a toxic skepticism of science, knowledge, facts, institutions, government, achievers, schools, and knowledge.
They think uneducated and unsuccessful parents should shackle their children's ankles to their own mediocrity and
to their negative social environment. They hate well funded vibrant public schools that uplift, teach and socialize children
in a loving, caring and violence free environment.

Looks like McSquawker has found Desh, someone who is on his intellectual level.

[cancel2 2022]

so you agree schools need more funding?

or do you just want more school shootings because you hate schools, education and children

What do you know about schools? You obviously didn't even get as far as community college ffs!!

hogwash.
the MS press is fake news and there are lots of examples. Just this week CNN covered the Horowitz hearings,
but cut away from Lindsey Graham. Of course the only coverage the had was "no bias" and not the slew of FISA abuse

They do it all the time,and the fact you can't see this means you need to diversify your sourcing-
nothing to do with "education" -except being curious enough to search

I don't watch commercial for-profit news media as a habit.

I like NPR, PBS Newshour, BBC, DW, and NHK. And since I use this forum as a platform to spark my own online research, I often am aware of stories before I see them on TV or hear them on the radio.

If you want to post knowledgeably just look at the thread titles, use those for searchwords. Then browse a bit, select sources you think are the best, and read up. Then, when you post about that discussion, you are better informed for your comment. Or at least read the link from the OP. I was amazed one time I did a thread and it had over a hundred replies and I went back to the OP link and realized I had done it improperly so it didn't work. LOL, and nobody said anything about it. LOL. That's when ya know most people here don't click the links or bother to read and learn.

Democrats and their unions control the dysfunctional education system.

They own it.

Their dysfunctional educational system harms their dependent voters.

Repub teachers join those unions just like Dems do, Mr. Earl.
