  • No, the 2nd Amendment clearly says that the right to own guns is for the purpose of a well-regulated militia. The courts are the ones who interpreted that to mean every citizen [1, Heller]. And the courts also are the ones who have afforded such State restriction legislation as being Constitutional [1, Cruikshank].

    In any case, it would likely require an amendment to the Constitution to directly change the qualifications for being President.

  • Pretty sure diplomatic immunity is a thing that would come into play.

  • I still love my Firefox since that doesn’t affect me. My videos are easily transcoded if needed and I keep to 1080p so size isn’t a real issue as well.

    I guess for some, it can be problematic. So they’ll have to put up with ads again.

  • pets Firefox …Who’s a good boy?

  • The usual response from the whiny degenerates.

  • I don't disagree at all. But I can walk and chew gum at the same time on this one :) In other words, they're not mutually exclusive.

  • The world is what we allow it to be made as. You are, of course, free to be as defeatist about this as you want. Doesn’t at all mean I can’t want or expect him to sit in prison.

    And since when is expecting just consequences considered entitlement?

    I, for one, will not abide Trump, Fox News, or any other propaganda machine to eat away at the rule of law just because they or others might think something is unrealistic or unfair. He is guilty of breaking laws — of this and most likely much much more, as the future and trials will ideally prove. It’s long past time he pays for it.

  • So because it’s Trump, he gets a lighter sentence? That doesn’t seem rational to me. I agree American prisons are horrible, but I see no reason to spare this particular dirtbag business person from it.

  • Because it’s now a garbage site? Oh right, the verdict. So that AND it’s a garbage site.

  • Supposedly in NY State, he has to be a convicted felon and be in prison to be disallowed to vote.

  • Only 30 days? Why not let him rot in prison through the whole appeals process like the vast majority of normal convicts do?

  • I am not a lawyer, but this site states:

    “A litigant who loses in a federal court of appeals, or in the highest court of a state, may file a petition for a "writ of certiorari," which is a document asking the Supreme Court to review the case. The Supreme Court, however, does not have to grant review. The Court typically will agree to hear a case only when it involves an unusually important legal principle, or when two or more federal appellate courts have interpreted a law differently. There are also a small number of special circumstances in which the Supreme Court is required by law to hear an appeal.”

  • Please, no. Nope. No. NO!

  • This matters to intelligent, educated, and critically-thinking people. So, no, it doesn’t matter to his sycophants.

  • Sorry but if they have a spine, their hands are most definitely not tied. That’s the problem with the system as it relates to this piece of shit. Everyone makes excuses.

    Fuck that. It’s time to show that the rule of law matters no matter who the fuck you are. Maybe if he’s made an example of, Presidents will think twice before breaking the law.

    But, I agree that the GOP, probably this judge, the Supreme Court, and Congress — none of them have a spine.

  • A 12-pack of soda cost $2.50 5 years ago. It’s now $10. So yeah, some things are just pure unfettered greed.
