Politics Thread

Both Biden and Pence invited the FBI into their homes to search for any papers they may have inadvertently taken,
Papers were recovered at both places, and neither was charged.

If you can't understand the difference in those cases, and Trump taking hundred of pages of presidential records that go to NARA and top secret papers...and then refusing to turn them over after they were subpoenaed, and instructing his attorneys to lie, and then having a search warrant done so the top secret papers could be recovered fully (although some may have been shipped to Bedminster)...then you may be a master of something, but it's certainly not reality.

Dunno. Ask Hur. That was his finding.

It is a GD fact. Why is this hard for you Phan?

Speaking facts. Joe Biden want to introduce legislation to introduce term limits to the Supreme Court. Wonder why he is targeting term limits to the Supreme Court yet wonÂ’t do the same for Congress?

Well, we know it's to placate the extreme left. Doesn't really matter though.

You'd need a constitutional amendment and while the chances of that ever happening for the supreme court are extremely low, for Congress it's zero. Congress will not get two thirds to vote themselves out of power

I'm okay with Supreme Court term limits. They can apply to every justice confirmed to the Court from here on out. They cannot, obviously, apply retroactively to those already on the Court.

Phan - term limits on Congress won't solve the problem (unless your goal is to eliminate age related cognitive issues, which is a legit argument).

The fundamental problem with our system is money, in particular, the influence exerted by the donors. We have to find a way to take money out of the process. Why do politicians need money for their campaigns anyway? Why not make it illegal to run ads on TV, radio and the internet (including PACs)? Why not make it illegal for politicians to work for or sit on the boards of gov't contractors and corporations that were impacted by legislation that they voted for, after their careers are over with? Why not put their investment portfolios under the limelight somehow while they're in office?

Why not create a system where politicians are encouraged to debate more often, and pen more articles to make their case? Major money is not needed to run a campaign if the playing field is level for all involved.

100% agree and would be welcomed by a majority of citizens in this country. That’s why I find it funny that people want to argue about topics such as abortion instead of common sense legislation such as what you have mentioned above. This is what the American people should be demanding if they want to Make America Great Again or Build Back Better.

You supported his opponent in the primary. Try to keep up. You called Vance every name in the book.

Typical MAGA flop.
