So Democrats are innocent of all and every accusation?

and

Republicans are guilty of all and every accusation?

Very interesting concept
A certain irrationality exists in this belief. If one has the view you describe, there is no room for reflection or analysis in the debate. It takes on the shape of political creed.

Liz Cheney (and her dad) can only be pardoned by their
creator. War crimes are immortal sins beyond redemption
in Biden's world. Kamala Harris could have won more votes
had she renounced Cheney's endorsement.

In other words then it is okay for him to be "above the law"!!
Wouldn't a Court and Judge make sentencing determinations?.

Some of us were discussing Hillary Clinton's mishandling of confidential communications earlier. In that instance, FBI Director Comey basically said Hillary violated the law, but didn't think the case should be pursued.

Then of course, there was the recent pardon of Hunter Biden by his father.

So you see, you have recent examples of other politicians or their families not being prosecuted or given prison sentences.

Accusations are one thing. Convictions before a jury of your peers is entirely different.

Title:
Fact check: Biden leveraged $1B in aid to Ukraine to oust corrupt prosecutor, not to help his son

Biden was so fckn concerned about a Ukrainian corrupt prosecutor that he decided to withhold 1 BILLION dollars? Give me a break. What kool aid are you drinking?

The European union was pushing Biden to do exactly the same. They wanted this prosecutor fired for the same reason Biden did - this dude would not go after corruption.
Is the EU on the same kool-aid?

I just want to say we are all very lucky to have an esteemed U.S. Constitutional legal expert such as yourself on the forum.
That doesn't require constitutional expertise.
It's just a fact that the decision was made already.

Now, this Supreme Court has shown it is perfectly happy to overturn previous decisions, but that doesn't change the fact that a decision was made.

This has been so diminished over the past 8 years. I work all over the world. I see how corrupt 3rd world countries work. That's exactly where USA is going.
They've been quite explicit about their corruption and their intent to have lots of it.
That's part of what "Make America Great Again" is all about.
In their view, there already is corruption, and the problem is that they aren't getting enough advantage from it personally.
So they need to fix that.

JD vance lied that The Jan 6th Violent Insurrectionists should not be pardoned:

"The violent ones won't be pardoned" was the fake reasonable position people were trying to take because just releasing everyone made some people uncomfortable.
They don't need to pretend anymore.

Yes a Court decision was made in 1898.

Tell that to the left here on Terb
I was directing my comment to them. This partisan view that Republican politicians are the only ones to ever be guilty of corruption or other crimes is a certain type of absurdity.

Yes, and I am surprised to see you stretching to find reasons to try and push for its overturning that have plausible cover and deniability.
You're usually much more straightforward.
If you think it is bad and the constitutional interpretation should be changed, just say so, don't hem and haw with pretending to not know if it has really been decided or what not.

Just say that you think people disagree now and so the rule should be changed and interpreted a new way.

I'm not pushing for anything. Let the Supreme Court decide. They will decide if mothers who enter the country illegally can guarantee citizenship for their children.

Regardless of the Court's decision, I don't really see any political ramifications for Trump. Do you know any Moderate Democrats? I would find it it hard to believe they are concerned about this. Some issues are just media-driven.
