"Justice and the rule of law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. John Adams was the foremost constitutionalist among the Founders. He also said: "A system of Laws, and not of men." -- John Adams. Thus the oath is sworn to protect and defend the Constitution -- the supreme Law of the Land, not to the person occupying public office, including the president.

@masonainsworth False. "Justice and the rule of law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. They are not the same ting, except to those who like muddying the waters in favor of political attacks on the rule of law. The Constitution is the supreme LAW of the Land. The Impeachment Clause is incorporated in the Constitution. _Ergo_, impeachment is a LEGAL process, made political by those who aim to subvert the law.

@anandanewsnetwork He is witnessing from the Democrats adherence to the Constitution and facts. Have you any other false cheap-shots?

@Jon Oz It never ceases to astound that those, such as you, who know nothing of law, aren't smart enough to know your limits, and thus remain silent instead of pop off destructively about that which you know nothing. Especially when irrationally couched in the word "perfect". If you're "only" "playing devils advocate," you are choosing a stupid time to do so. Whether the Constitution and rule of law survives is the stake here. This isn't Saturday morning cartoons.

It required more than one Justice to delay hearing the Trump tax cases. Do you know the actual names of those Justices?

@Rickybobby1340 Trump and Barr are about locking people up WITHOUT EVIDENCE OR TRIAL. As for Giuliani -- remember him asserting: "Truth isn't truth!" Ask yourself: is that a truth? This isn't a ball game where the most sensational and outrageous wins. This isn't a game. This is about whether YOU could survive an "investigation" by your enemies. This is about whether the rule of law, DUE PROCESS ITSELF, survives.

@arinabee2 It isn't up to Schiff alone to persuade Republicans. The Republicans must also be willing to be persuaded.

@buildthewallwiththewoke How many times must it be pointed out to you that that is a lie? Lying is immoral. Stop pretending you are concerned with morality, and right and wrong.

The Democrats are all for having witnesses. The Republicans have the majority, so at any time they can call those who testified. And they can call those the Democrats are asking being called. And that 75 per cent of We the people DEMAND be called.

This is no more about faces than it is a baseball game. The Constitution and rule of law are at stake. Better you hope Roberts not only understands that, but also wants no part in their destruction, and will act in keeping with that premise, instead of sitting quiet and watching the destruction -- which would be part of HIS legacy.

@harmonytrump4775 You mean that Schiff is a Democrat, Obama is black and a Democrat, and your hate is immoral. In simplest terms: you are unable to rise above the gutter-personal insult, even when they are lies.

Have someone read to you the definition of "relevance" from "Websters". The Articles of Impeachment name Trump. They do not name the Clintons or the Bidens. The Clintons and the Bidens -- and all the baseless and false smears against them you haters stupidly believe and swallow -- are IRRELEVANT.

@Rickybobby1340 Remember what Giuliani said -- "Truth isn't truth!" Ask yourself: is that a truth? If it is a truth, then isn't it false? And isn't a falsehood not truth? Learn how to think for yourself, instead of gullibly swallowing Republican nonsense.

@Rickybobby1340 If he's acquitted, it is the destruction of the Constitution. And you believe you'll survive that?

@Rickybobby1340 If he is acquitted on the ground that Dershowitz asserted -- which are a direct attack on the Constitution -- Trump will continue to ignore the rule of law with the imprimatur of the Senate Republicans. Tell us, moron: What will you do when the law is gone, and you are prosecuted for having the wrong politics? Will you blame the Democrats for the Republican acquittal? As for your assertion that Schiff isn't serving his constituents: it never ceases to amaze how stupid you Trump supporters are as concerns how our gov't functions. When you call your congressperson (you don't, of course), does your conpgressperson answer the phone? Or does a staffer? Every member of Congress has a staff that addresses constituent concerns. Every Congressional committee, in both House and Senate, has a large staff that does the research, the day-to-day grunt work. Schiff has been repeatedly elected by his constituents because his office -- like most congress members' -- serves his constituents satisfactorily. If you want to criticize a gov't official, do it on the facts -- otherwise and you only prove you are a foul-mouthed nihilist who -- yes -- hates the rule of law.

Mike Hall Why do you hate the rule of law?

Michael Meyer Why do you hate the rule of law?

@MrNyassae Why do you love the ever-shifting "argument" of Trump's lawyers?
1
Michael Meyer Your hate is baseless, except that it is based on hating Democrats. And your hate is immoral -- and you have the hypocritical gall to pretend you're concerned with his morality? And pay attention, moron: Schiff and the Democrats are not accusing the president; HIS OWN APPOINTEES WHO TESTIFIED AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTS TO THE INVESTIGATION ARE THE ACCUSERS. Unless you were only born yesterday, AND live under a rock, can you not know that Trump is a CONSTANT LIAR -- why are you not offended by that? Because he's a Republican (which may be a lie), and you hate Democrats. Schiff isn't lying; he's presenting the facts that are in evidence -- and the evidence was provided, as everyone knows, BY TRUMP'S OWN APPOINTEES. So yes: you DO hate the rule of law -- and those who do not -- especially when applied to the criminal enterprise being run by Trump.

@Daekj32 That makes no sense. But that's all you name-callers ever do: guzzle and vomit sewerage.

@masonainsworth It is a principle of law that justice and the rule of law are ABOVE politics. That's why politicians, upon election, cannot legally prosecute their political opponents. In other words: it isn't a crap shoot, all up for grabs. In dictatorships, "successful" politicians do go after the POLITICAL opponents with the power of the law, imprison, and even execute, them. That's why Trump's "Lock her up!" was immediately alarming: no evidence, no trial, just incarcerate. Adams was the foremost constitutionalist among the Founders. He was being aspirational in that statement, or in his statement, "A system of Laws, and not of men" -- the oath is to the constitution and laws, not to the person in whatever the office. THAT TOO separates law and politics.

@masonainsworth Law is not mere "social convention". "Social conventions" don't put your ass in jail. Massachusetts made two efforts to adopt a constitution. The first was drafted by the legislature, and submitted to the electorate for approval or rejection. It was rejected in large part on the basis of this question: "If the legislature can adopt a constitution, then can' it also amend or even repeal it at whim?" The result was the invention of the constitutional convention; thus every element of gov't -- including the legislature -- was put UNDER the constitution. That second constitution was written by John Adams, establishing separation of powers, and was the model for the US Constitution. A law is not a "social convention," especially when inconsistent with the Constitution.

And the Senators have the right to ask questions. And, as Roberts declined to read one of Rant Paul's snide BS questions, he has the authority to not read irrelevant questions. He read Warren's because he recognized that it is wholly relevant. Being a lawyer -- you obviously aren't even reasonable -- Warren recognizes that the survival of the Constitution is at stake. If the Republicans vote as YOU want, the rule of law will be GONE. The rule of law includes the RIGHTS you rely on to protect YOU.

@WilliamHMusic-oldschool Because they don't engage in childish name-calling and insult? Is that the height of your "intellect" -- baseless hatred because you can't think for yourself?

@bfettrulez6734 The house DID call Bolton, and his deputy Kuppermann. Kuppermann went to court to challenge the subpoena, and Bolton refused, saying he would rely on the court's determination. The House Manager's have made that clear, repeatedly and clearly. And it was reported in the independent -- not corporate media FOX -- at the time. In short: you are being lied to, to your face, by Trump's lawyers, and your too stupid to realize it.

@Xxwill55xX George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. John Adams didn't, and was opposed to slavery. You refer to the "Alien & Sedition Acts" -- which were ENACTED BY CONGRESS. Until then, Adams wasn't able to sign it. So why single out Adams, and deceitfully leave out the Congress? Because you put politics above the rule of law. And, as is typical, you have to engage in deceit in effort to defend Trump. You're welcome to point to any of the Founders as being perfect human beings -- except, of course, John Adams, because you don't like the Constitutional principles he enunciated and emphasized, because they are as a noose around Trump's neck: "A system of LAWS, and NOT of men." .
