Okay, beyond the Legal problems here (Many, many legal problems) there's also some major Logistical problems here. Who are you going to get to do the Labor, in the desert, without using Immigrants? White people? I've worked with white people, so let me say no. (As an European American myself.) Not enough of them that are willing to actually do that particular labor, and stick with it until it's end. The counter-argument is "Job Creator," but that's not just a Job, the way they rhetorically use it, in the term "Job Creator." Jobs aren't a resource, like Labor is. Or money is, he can appropriate the money for the concrete, and steel, but somebody has to dig the ditch, to lay the concrete, and set the steel in it. You ever been to Nogales? Yes, Backhoes are going to do it, but have you ever sat in a backhoe, anywhere in a border state? (Waves from Waco) The real limiting factor I see here, in practical terms is Wages. How much is the Government planning to pay for these "Jobs?" In a real estate scam right out of the Lex Luthor playbook for the purposes of embezzling from, overseen by Auric Goldfinger? I can't describe the Working conditions to you, but a backhoe operator starts at $25.00 an hour (Roughly what you'd expect as an EMT in an Ambulance in this economy) and if you do the math for the thousands of miles we're talking about here... Creating "Jobs" isn't enough. They have to be jobs a Mexican would find worth it for the money, enough not to walk off of, legal, or illegal. After you deport all of the cheapest, hardest working, and most tolerant of all workers on this continent.

Black people? Get the blacks to do it? Think about that, for 1 second. Okay, who else is left. The Chinese Ameri. Oh. No wait, what about the Native Am. Uhm... He just systematically alienated (Literally, and figuratively) everyone that would actually be capable of carrying out his Executive Order. Might want to build the wall, and Then kick out the workers, (That aren't demanding reparations for slavery, mass incarceration, and Genocides) next time. I don;t know if he's already considered this (But he did Pardon Joe) but unless his supporters, who pledged support actually show up to do Mexican work, at Mexican wages, he can;t use Slave Labor. So, he'll have to resort to the next best thing: Prison Labor. He's already got the Labor Camps.

How many allegations didn't ruin Chief Justice Kavanaugh's career, on his way to the highest bench in the industry, despite refusing to answer direct questions, repeatedly, when he himself would have imprisoned anyone for Contempt of court, where he ruling? Acosta lost his job, for this level of government corruption, and interference with due process of the Justice system? What has he been charged with? "Ruined his life." Right, tell that to the 30 victims, he kept in the dark, for decades, until they saw him on the news again. Oh right, he didn't lose his job. He resigned, to avoid prosecution. He basically retired, from getting pedophiles off.

The biggest dent we can put in emissions is in heavy freight fleet vehicles. Electric tractor trailers, and container ships are also poised in industries where they could actually change-over, a lot more easily than consumer cars, and trucks. We don't have to put in the infrastructure of plug-in stations to replace gas stations. Fleet vehicles stop multiple times to transfer goods at warehouses, and even long-haul truckers can just jack up the trailer, then drop it in to a fresh fully charged tractor. You can't do that with your car, and the Companies like Amazon could see real savings in efficiency to pay for the change-over in a matter of years. Not to mention the fact that everything around you, right now, was shipped to you by a diesel engine. At least one, more likely several in stages, and the diesel for those trucks was shipped to them in a tanker truck. The motors that run the peckerhead pumps in the oil fields are run off diesel, delivered from the refinery, by diesel engines.

I'm not a Lawyer, I'm an Industrial Engineer, and I designed a single stage diesel still you can drive around on a 1 ton flatbed. An oil company (Can't say which one as per agreement) bought it, and the patent rights, to bury it. So, I'm glad that we have Lawyers like you on our side. Unfortunately, the politicians, and supervillains with real estate schemes right out of the Lex Luthor Playbook (Build a wall, he says. Right, who's subsidies were you planning one using, and embezeling from to build it there, Goldfinger?) have a lot of lawyers on their side, too. The problem is that it's not going to be profitable to clean up this mess, and the ones that made it also made a lot of money at it, to pay for their lawyers.

Neither one is "Best." It's not Superman vs Homelander, "Who would win in a fight?" At the time the Constitution was written, a direct vote democracy wasn't possible, because the votes had to be counted locally, and a Representative had to go in and vote, later. Because we had Horses, sailing ships, and no nationwide Post Office, there was literally no way to reliably gather all the votes, and count them (Without some of them being lost, stolen, and destroyed.) So, we got a Democratic Republic, because of the limitations of voting on that scale. We took the island of Briton's laws, when we're not an island, where nobody lived more than 2 day's horse-ride from anyone else. We're 13 colonies spread across a coast from Maine to Georgia. Now, we have the technology to fly votes, securely from all over the country, and count them together (Probably in Kansas City, 200 miles from the geographic center of the continental US) on the same day. It's just a question of A, Manpower, and B, Precedent. Unfortunately, Precedent wins out, so we're stuck with a system that dates back to the Constitution, sailing ships from Maine, and Georgia to Philadelphia, and white male landowners over the age of 35 writing the best qualifications to chose a President, FOR THEM. Keep in mind, this was the "Best" system for the white male landowners over the age of 35, not for America. If women, and slaves could have voted, the first 200 years of Presidential succession could have gone a lot differently.

Politically, the argument is that "X is best," so eliminate Y, entirely. That's not Partisan, it's Totalitarian. "Capitalism is best, so eliminate ALL Socialism from the country," McCarthyism, after the broad Socialism of FDR, the most successful president in History, just going by Votes, and won Elections. Anti-socialism, scare tactics, basically the biggest greediest richest Sociopath wins. Every election. That's not what we set up a Democratic Republic for, it was for the Republic to check the Democratic part, and the Democratic part to balance out the Republic. (Across the board, the 3 branches were supposed to be like a Tribunal, so no 1 had too much power, the other 2 could always step in to check 1, if they started gaining too much Power.) That's how the Constitution was set up initially, but now the Popular vote is "The President is more important than the Senatorial race, and the Senate is more important than the House of representatives..." Hierarchy, while we have to explain the Electoral College every 4 years, while we wait for the Olympics to start. When the truth is, the Senate is the most important race, every 2 years. Most Americans don't even know who their Senator is, let alone who he's running against.

@DrDrao So, he said/she said, without any witnesses. That's all you have to rely on, if he assaults her, she fights back, and wins, she goes to jail. Now, this is an extreme example, because she's a super-hero, and can level planets, but if she just Maced him, he sues her for assault, when he stepped into her face, harassed her, and yes, touched anything she is wearing or holding. That is assault, "I just touched her sweater" is not an excuse. The severity of it, whether you forceably rip them out of her ears, or gently tug on them to get her attention is assault. That's why they have Aggrevated Assault if it's a more severe case of it, but patting a little kid on the head is assault, and I got arrested for it. Went to jail for it, without witnesses, just on the word of a child. This case is no different, simply because she has the power to take on a space-armada.

@phoenixnoire2435 Just 2 examples of how they can punish people for being poor (Or female, minorities...) without explicitly making it Illegal, because such laws would be unconstitutional. Kinda not unlike how they could start off one document with "All men are created equal," and keep owning men (And women, children...) for generations like Cattle. There is a very important difference between making something like Poverty ILLEGAL, and using something like Poverty to profit off of the people that prop them up on the top of their scrotum pole. If they make it Illegal, they have to charge you, and give you Due Process, in a court of law. If they don't, they can just take you away from your parents, and lock you up in Kidternment camps indefinitely, because "National Emergency." If you declare something illegal, or declare war, then you have to follow the law (Or international treaties, like the Geneva Conventions.) If they don't, then they can just make you go away, and never worry about being held accountable. With the law, what you say, and how you say it is critically important.

@phoenixnoire2435 There's no THE answer, because there's no THE problem. False Dichotomy. The rich can afford to buy the courts, the legislature, and the Oval Office, and they set it up in the first place. The Founding FATHERS made it so that you had to be a land (And therefore Slave) owner just to be elligible for the Continental Congress, or the Presidency. They wrote the 27th Amendment in 1789, and it was ratified in 1992, after the 13th, and 19th Amendments, just to name a few. This corruption isn't new. The disparity between wealth and power predates the Discovery and conquest of America, by Genocide for Profit, and Poverty was never "Illegal" throughout that entire history. The truth is that Poverty is Profitable. It always was, it's the cornerstone of Capitalism. If they criminalize it, they would jeopardize the power structure that's literally based on it.

The preferred defense for Trump appears to be not showing up to Defend Himself. Instead, watching it at home, then coming out to read hearsay testimony back to Reporters, of what he was said to have said, by someone else. In other words, change of Venue from the House to the Court of Public Opinion. I can't think of any other time the accused just refused to show up for his own trial, and everyone was cool with that. Nobody's going to point out that he's not even there? You're the lawyer, can anyone else do that? In any jurisdiction, court, or legislature, anywhere in the world. In recorded history? Just try me In Absentia, I'll tweet my replies, and shout them from my front lawn with notes of what I said scrawled in Sharpie. Is there a word for that defense?

They abandoned their original charter. They weren't "Guns Rights lobby." They existed to teach people gun Safety, and Security. Basically, they got taken over by paranoiacs, who got into guns in the first place as a Security Blanket. It made them feel safer against teh aliens, commies, government, and/or lizard men. (Eventually, and unironically to defend against the "Terrorists." Until they started shooting up school kids, and changed the narrative to "Guns don't kill people..." What did you buy that gun for, to protect yourself? From what, school children?) Then, they felt Powerful, and then they became Powerful. The NRA went insane. That's what heppened to it, when originally, they just taught new gun owners to treat them as always loaded, and never point it at anyone you don't intend to shoot.

The burglars have no expectation of safety committing the high risk act. The decision was on their part, and he turned the knob. The Brineys didn't wound him, he wounded himself. If he had slipped on a loose rug, and fallen down the stairs, then there would be no question. He knew what he was doing was dangerous, and considered the risk (Or arrest) worth the reward. I suppose he was wrong. It's their property, they can decorate it any way they want Assuming the decor isn't illegal in, and of itself. Does Iowa have any laws specifically against lethal force in a trap? (Some jurisdictions do, for Poachers.) So, it's not a question of the law, it's a question of State law, possibly county as well. On it's face, there's nothing federally illegal about it, in America. Local laws may vary on these fine points.

"It couldn't be murder, because they aimed at non-vital organs." It's still assault with a deadly weapon, and manslaughter. A lawyer would know that, in this case Pre-meditation is a factor, but intent to Kill is not, and nobody was murdered. This is not a legal argument. Say for the sake of argument that there was a gas leak, and the blast ignited it causing an explosion, and a wildfire that swept over the town. It could have happened, and would have posed a serious public danger, but 1: is unlikely, and B: Was not the homeowner's Intent.
