Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You continue to think Trump cares about the rule of law.
He'll demand the lawyer's release. Judge will say no. He'll sue. At most, we'll get some appelate ruling that says he's not going to dismiss the contempt charge, but he is going to let the laywer walk free while the case proceeds. It'll go up to the Supreme Court where they'll just rule that contempt charges are pardonable, then it'll all go away. Have you not been paying attention for the past month? The guy does not care about the rule of law, the Supreme Court already ruled that he doesn't have to, and Congress isn't going to do a damn thing about it.
These people weren't willing to hold Trump to account when he was a private citizen? WTF makes you think they're going to do anything to him while he's POTUS? This isn't the only judge that has been trying to push back on Trump's bullshit. But the only thing they've managed to do so far is to reissue their court orders while adding the legalese equivalent of "pretty please". Show me where these judges are threatening actual consequences for these actions and somebody actually willing to enforce them. Because all I've seen is a bunch of judges making empty threats, Trump saying "Fuck you, and what are you going to do about it", and a whole bunch of people with a whole lot of nothing for answers.
I don't actually. I think the judiciary is quite capable of killing a presidency let alone a president.
Appeals courts have exactly zero to do with contempt the only ones who can deal with that are other judges. Again it has nothing to do with the guy and everything to do with other branches of government fighting to keep their power so they aren't expendable.
And yet you're knowingly basing crazy arguments of ignorance from empty words.
