A distinguished group of retired four-star generals and admirals from the U.S. military have argued in a brief filed in theĀ U.S. Supreme CourtĀ on Monday thatĀ Donald Trumpās claims of absolute āpresidentialĀ immunityā from criminal prosecution tied to Jan. 6 is an āassaultā on the āfoundational commitmentsā underpinning democracy and if his argument is allowed to succeed before them later this month, it threatens āto subvert the careful balance between the executive and legislative branches struck in the Constitution.ā
The 38-page amicus brief features 19 authors, all of them decorated retired admirals, generals or secretaries from branches of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force respectively. On April 25, the high court is poised to hear Trumpās question of immunity against prosecution for his alleged criminal conspiracy to subvert the results of the 2020 election. and according to the brief, these are arguments that should be approached with extreme caution.
First link is about someone on parole voting, when they canāt.
Second link is about someone who got caught when trying to do fraudulent voting activities.
The third link is a person with a prior felony conviction (that she pleaded guilty to), that is ineligible to seek office, trying to seek office/vote.
Those are three one-offs, in the margins. None of those prevent the system from working overall.
Youāre grasping at straws.
Participate.
I question whether youāve ever actually participated in an election before.
Actually, Iāve voted in every election I was asked to.
Extreme Weasel Word Phrasing
How so?
