Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
Watch the video. They claimed to represent the whole House which the Star Chamber was preventing from participating in an inquiry that is important to all of them and their constituents.

You didn't prove it, did you? It's just your assertion.
You didn’t provide any evidence either. But it’s obviously implausible that Democrats would agree with dubious claims made by Trump’s partisans. Indeed there’s no reason to assume that all the Republicans in the House agree.
quote:
But I do have to admit I'm predisposed against everything Leftist. Pelosi comes out and says something about how Trump is in a bad place, and all the rest of the evil Left says similar things day in and day out, every hour and minute of every day so you try to stick a few "facts" into this poisonous caldron and want me to forget the vile nature of the whole?
Trump IS in a bad place. For instance, his missteps in Syria have cost him even with Republicans.
The fact that you feel the need to malign anyone who dares speak against Trump shows us where the problem is. It’s you.

Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
You really think the 234 Democrats in the House accept these 24 Republican yahoos as their proxies?
How can the reality of this situation escape you so easily. These yahoos say they represent "the whole House" for their own partisan political purposes but they don't even represent a minority of the membership.
Pull your head out of it, Love. Their statements are self-serving and false. Anyone who understands our congressional system can see this on its face.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

It really is simple Faith.
The number of Republicans in the House = 197.
The number of Republicans that were in the Committees vetted for that security level = 45
The number of deplorable idiots having their temper tantrum = 24.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
That's fine, I wasn't counting, I'm just happy that some Republicans got up the guts to confront this Kangaroo Court which is just the latest in the Liberal fishing expedition to find something against a duly elected President they simply dislike. The rest of the House should have joined them but wimpery reigns it seems against these criminal Leftists who are out to destroy all legal and constitutional forms for impeachment.
And oh how I hope Horowitz's investigation doesn't let us down, or Barr's. We on the Right know there's tons of criminal stuff the left has done against Trump since he started running for President. LET ALL THE TRUTH COME OUT.
If it doesn't all come out, if the suppression continues because the forces of evil really are that strong in America these days, then there is no hope for this country at all.

What Kangaroo Court Faith.
So far all that has been seen are 24 more crybaby deplorables who have absolutely no respect for either reality or national security or the rule of law or even the very procedures put in place by House Republicans.
They are at best pitiful but realistically just sophomoric.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
Oh the behavior of Schiff and Pelosi is enough to tell me this is a Kangaroo Court. They found a way to have a completely private fishing expedition for any shred of misbehavior they can trash this President with. Since they already have lists and lists of allegedly impeachable misbehaviors you'd think that would do it for them, but they know none of it amounts to more than wishful thinking, none of it would stand up in court. so they keep looking and looking and looking and pretending what they've found is devastating for Trum when it's all just puff. When they get some little thing that rubs them the wrong way from someone they are interviewing they leak it out as evidence that Trump is a miscreant who is going Down. He's been going Down according to Schiff for months now, years, and yet Trump has not gone Down and shows no signs of going Down. Still the fantasy continues, the vendetta, and the Kangaroo Court is the latest manifestation of it. Since they have nothing to charge him with, the drama itself has become their method of impeachment. Keep up the badmouthing that has no foundation, the innuendo and empty accusation, and maybe that will be enough to keep the public deluded.
AbE: Oh keep calling us Deplorables, keep calling Republicans Deplorables who got up the guts to face down this corrupt impeachment charade, it only tells the voters you have nothing and it motivates them to take you all down.

Again, that is simply a really silly assertion. The rules were set up during the Republican Majority era in the House.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
OK jar, what rules are you talking about?
the rules that govern how congress operates
https://www.govinfo.gov/...ICE-115/pdf/GPO-HPRACTICE-115.pdf
What do they have to do with impeachment?
they govern how the committees that are currently conducting the impeachment inquiry operate.

No, tell me specifically what rule they are following and what it has to do with impeachment. I'm not going to read your link right now.

He gave you the rules! Read them!
If you want to still claim that the committees are violating the rules, then point out which rule is being violated and explain why it's a violation!
If you know anything about what you are constantly babbling, then that should be fairly easy for you to do. If you actually have no clue (which is obviously the case), then you will continue to evade and obfuscate.
We all know how this will play out.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
fine I retract my claim that the actions of the impeachment inquiry are within the rules, now it is your turn to substantiate your claim that they are against the rules. i want the specific rules they are breaking.

Re: It really is simple Faith. Simpler than you think, jar
OH thank you! You actually concede that it's got nothing to do with rules regarding impeachment.
But I haven't claimed they are violating any specific rule that I know of, it's more a violation of the spirit of justice, they are doing a distraction and rationalizing it on the basis of irrelevant rules. If they are doing an impeachment inquiry, which seems to be the case, it needs to include the entire House and not be some closed-door private meeting where a few get to interview some witnesses and the rest of the House doesn't get to cross examine them. The Clinton and Nixon impeachments allowed normal rights and due process to the President, but this seems to be nothing but a thinly rationalized way to deny the President or his lawyers any rights in the proceedings at all.
