Impeachment Fiasco

Posted Monday, January 25, 2021, at 3:26 PM

The impeachment fiasco playing out in Washington is a total disgrace. I have now seen reports the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may refuse to hold the trial. If so the Constitutional requirement of an impeachment trial cannot be met, thus ending this travesty fostered by the Democrat Party. This effort is so legally juvenile I cannot believe the Democrat Party has wasted resources, read tax payer money, pursuing such. The legal system requires the Plaintiff have a concrete injury to some Right. It also requires a causal connection between the injury and the Defendant’s conduct. Thirdly required is, re the conduct by Defendant, “it must be likely-not merely speculative- that the injury will be reduced by a favorable decision.” As is obvious the Senate at trial can only render a decision resulting in the Defendant’s removal from Office. This is the sole Constitutional remedy. Clearly the trial cannot render a favorable decision, i. e., removal from Office for the overt and obvious reason, the Defendant is not in Office.

There is another very basic requirement to be met if the trial is to proceed. The case must be dismissed if the Plaintiff “fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.” Here the Plaintiff prays the “Court” remove the Defendant from Office. As the most casual observer can discern, the Plaintiff cannot be granted the relief he seeks, ergo, he has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Aside from the well founded legal concepts outlined here, the Democrat Party seeks only to castrate the present Republican Party so as to assist their aim to rule in perpetuity. This sham proceeding is without question political, not legal. This precedent, if allowed to continue, will insure any and all past Presidents will be impeached. The Democrat Party evidently think they will rule in perpetuity so no impeachment can occur without their acquiescence. Not going to happen. Your naïve and evil opinion of the American people will be radically altered in two years. I guarantee it.

Donald J Trump dissolved the Corporate United States (Washington DC) thru Bankruptcy. Trump can legally do this as the C.E.O. of the Corporate United States!

This means that there can not be anything done legally in, for or by Washington DC. The Corporation does not exist any more. It is just a vacant piece of Real Estate up for grabs, if you want to pay off the Bankruptcy, lol.

Congress has no legislative Power in Washington DC. The Senate has no Legislative Power in Washington DC. The Supreme Court doesn't have any Judicial Power in Washington DC. DC is just a foreign Country sitting in the USA as the land ceded over to congress for the Capital of the US for the purpose of running the USA.

No laws can be made today. No Legislation at all is legally recognized if done in Washington DC, since Dec 6, 2021.

Biden can not be elected nor inaugurated as anything. There is no power in Wash DC except the Military.

Trump is taking a well deserved Vacation while the Military runs the Government and deals with the Criminal Mass Arrests.

Joe Biden is pretending to be the President. He is Role Playing and so is everyone in Washington DC. There are no people with authority in Washington DC except the Military. The Congress is just Role Playing along with Joe Biden in this movie, because they have already been arrested in DC and evacuated. Joe Biden's Clone is allowed to continue acting to entertain the people while they are doing the Mass Arrests.

Sui, please, please tell me what your garbage espoused has to do with the subject matter of my blog entry.

Karl, I don't usually post to your blogs anymore since I don't like spending time and effort just to see it disappear when someone posts something off topic or that you don't agree with (such as above). But I do agree with you that this impeachment thing is a fiasco. It is also a tragedy and blatant cry for attention and help from the demonrat party. But why bring criminal or civil law into the discussion? Impeachment has always been political, not criminal. And since they have not even one scintilla of criminal evidence, this is purely political. It is the sad, desperate attempt of a failing political party to shore up their future existence. Of course this won't work, but they are going balls to the wall to prevent Trump from running for office next time. They know their only hope of staying alive as a party is to prevent him from being a candidate in 2024.

If they succeed in getting enough Rinos on board to convict Trump (who is no longer in office and therefore cannot be removed from office) and convince we the people that he can't run in 24, I doubt there will even be a presidential election that year. The dimcraps would be happier having their civil war than they would be allowing a fair election.

Fair share, I appreciate your comments. I would just point out the Constitution requires at least allegations of "high crimes and misdemeanors," which are of course criminal offenses. He was impeached by the House while a sitting President, now the Dems say since he is no longer President, trial conductance by the Chief Justice is not necessary. When is someone going to point out he is not now a Federal employ!! In what tome is memorialized the proposition the Congress can charge and sanction any citizen it so chooses for any reason it chooses. The Dems cannot have it both ways. Charge when President, convict when he is not with only "punishment" available is removal from office.

Interesting, a 14 term and current Democrat Congressman was formally a United States District Judge. In 1988 he was impeached by a Democrat House by a 413 to 3 vote. In 1989 he was convicted by a Democrat Senate by a vote of 69 to 26. In 1992 he was elected to the House as is still there.

Of the tens of thousands Art. III judges, (life time appointed judges, not bankruptcy judges, et al) have served as Art. III Judges. He was only the 6th Judge to be impeached and removed from the Bench.

By the way, his name is Congressman Alcie Hastings, Democrat of the 20th District of Fla. He voted to impeach Trump twice.

Interestingly, perhaps the Nations top legal mind, the Chief Justice, refuses to sit for the trial so the Dems pick a political hack who has been in Washington 45 years and has never been a Judge to conduct the trial. How wonderfully fair.

-- Posted by cmcclanahan on Mon, Jan 25, 2021, at 6:05 PM
Yup. Senate does not have the authority to try a private citizen. The dimcraps have gone completely crazy and are pushing us closer and closer to having to refresh the tree of liberty.

There are about 150 legal scholars, including members of the Federalist Society who signed onto a document stating that Trump could be impeached once he left office. This is a statement from that document - �But despite our differences, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former officers, including presidents.�

-- Posted by tcreek on Mon, Jan 25, 2021, at 10:38 PM
cmcclanahan, if you took the time to read my comment, you would have realized, as a legal scholar of some sort, that I was telling you that Congress does not have the standing to bring Trump to any trial. Also you should have known immediately that since the Corporate United States has been dissolved, there can be no employees of the Corporate United States. You know, like Congressmen and Senators and behind the Capitol Build Supreme Court Justices. The Supreme Court justices will be taken down because they refused to hear a Constitutional Case on Voter Fraud. Wait for it!

In spite of everything you are trying to tell us... ONLY the Military has any power in Washington DC. now. This is called Martial law for those who don't know it.

How did that happen? The Democrats staged the insurrection which gave Trump the power to enact Martial Law by waiting until the Protesters did their crimes. Only after this did the President tell everyone to go home peacefully, just as it is stated in the Insurrection act.

Trump is no longer in charge of the Corporate United States Government, but has taken down the Congress, Senate, Supreme Court and every federal corporation in all of the States, like the Court Houses and every Judge that isn't a common law Judge, which by the way Carl, Trump has appointed only Common Law Judges.

You see Carl, Congress doesn't hold Court Hearing, only Congressional Hearings that never mean anything that I have ever witnessed. So with all the Congress (Legally) out of a job, they can't do sh!t to anyone! All they can do is make videos of something happening to make the public THINK they have some kind of super power. All they have done is take away all the Federal Pensions from Federal employees. Don't think the Federal Employees are gonna look at Congress the same way from now on.

Not to worry! Most of Congress won't be here in 2024. In fact, they may not be here on March 4th, 2021. That is my Birthday and when Trump will be inaugurated as the 19th President of the RESTORED REPUBLIC with JFK as VP.

If no one did anything to Biden, his body would rot in another couple weeks. His clone is on the way out as we speak. You see a clone can't last long when the person is dead...Executed. I don't see how my comment doesn't fit right in with your story about Biden not being the President and why?

Well what do they expect people to do when they tell them they can't drive their car when drunk? People still have to get around.

Blessed, You didn't tell the cops you saw me do it, did you? I hope not! Your wife and kids will want to know what you were really doing every day this week on Horse Mountain Road at the 437 intersection! They might think that is where you get those mushrooms that guy bulldozes up for you when he goes home from his Kingdom.

Carl, have you brushed up on Common Law yet? That will be the new law starting in March. A whole new Old Law. lol. Look at all the volumes of Legal Books that can be tossed out forever. Every Lawyer and Judge and Law Enforcement agencies will have to learn and teach Common Law, the Law of the Land.

That's what I'm talking about! Ignorance of the Law is no excuse!

-- Posted by sui on Thu, Jan 28, 2021, at 7:33 PM
Sui, obviously your law school failed to teach you about scienter.

-- Posted by cmcclanahan on Fri, Jan 29, 2021, at 11:56 AM
That's funny Carl.

Sui has no knowledge of his actions.

When every one of his predictions fails to materialize, he blames it on clones, underground aliens, or some other nonsense.

-- Posted by quietmike on Fri, Jan 29, 2021, at 5:09 PM
Quite Mike, I agree. When there is no price to pay for one's action or espousals one can be as maniacal as one chooses go be. Whatever school Sui went to their clear aim was not to educate but to indoctrinate. The same phenomena being employed by our institutes of higher learning and unfortunately to a degree in our secondary and primary grades.

cmcclanahan, no I didn't go to a Law School.I studied law in a law library in Murfreesboro at their college in order to defeat the Irs in 1999, without having to go to court.

You are talking about actus reus and Mensrea!

"ANONYMOUS Wrongdoing generally requires two elements: a guilty act, actus reus, and a guilty mind, mens rea."

Without the criminal act and the Intent to commit the crime, there is no crime to be charged.

Also, you may not realize this, but if you had the criminal intent to commit the crime but changed your mind at the last second and the crime didn't happen, the case has to be thrown out. If the crime did happen accidentally by some freak accident and can be proven it was an accident, there is no criminal intent and must be dismissed.

You may want to do some more reseach on that, Carl.

Guys, you just have to be smarter than what you are working with.

I have told all of you that if you go to a school to learn, you will only know what they teach you, or indoctrinate you to believe. There is a whole world out there to learn from, so why be limited to what someone else wants you to know?

I actually have to dumb myself up to talk to y'all just for the fun of it.

While fighting the IRS, I had to look up Supreme court cases to defeat the IRS. That wasn't really hard, They don't know anything about the law or their rules and regulations that they were suppose to follow. I think I scared more IRS Agents in 5 different states than they thought possible. When someone send you a law telling you the crime you have committed, it tends to scare them.

No IRS Agent would sign his or her name to any letter they sent to me, because I could charge them with Fraud and since they did it thru the US Mail I could go after him or her for Mail Fraud and there is no statute of limitation for fraud.

They would pass my file over to another agent to send me demands that I would rebut. If I didn't rebut any letters they could win the case. They never gave any proof of ID that I could get them on. They told me I had 90 days to petition the Tax Court. Told me 2 or 3 times. I just ignored their demand. I received threats from IRS agents in FL, GA, AL, MS, TN, TX and MO. Just like a wife, they were always demanding money. I learned early, that you never send them a dime or you have agreed that you owe the debt.

A sovereign can not be sued in his own court without his consent, so I never petitioned the courts or I was consenting. All Federal Legislation applies only in Federal Territories unless a contrary intent appears. Bell Buckle TN is not a Federal Territory so their Federal demands didn't apply to me. Today, I know a whole lot more than I did back then.

In my studies I learned about the Corporate United States Government that was a foreign territory in respect to the 50 states. Today the Federal IRS has been dissolved with the Foreign Corporate United States Government. All Federal Agencies are operating outside of the law today. That is why most of them are closed, not because of Covid-19. Call the Federal Agencies and see if they are doing business or closed or just not doing public duties.
