The charge is “incitement to insurrection.” Which is appropriately Orwellian, since there was neither “incitement” (see this) nor an “insurrection” – except to the degree that any protest against the government that involves any violence at all could be labeled … Continue reading →
I came across two older posts of mine yesterday, and decided they are worth revisiting in light of recent events. The first is from December 12, 2016, about a month after Trump’s election. Here are some selected quotes from it: … Continue reading →
Common sense would dictate that the answer is “of course not.” Impeachment and conviction is a remedy with the purpose of removing someone from office. However, one can find a lawyer to argue whatever is expedient. And so it is … Continue reading →
This video of lawyers David Freiheit and Robert Barnes is long. but I strongly suggest you watch about an hour and a half of it anyway – or as much as you can – from the part where I’ve cued … Continue reading →
