The Second Amendment has always been somewhat confusing. Why this preamble about a well-regulated militia? Why not just say the federal government could not prevent people from having guns? Because it wasn't an individual right. The concern was that since Congress had been given powers in the Consti...
Yes. Russia wins and they will seek to undermine and destabilize other neighboring countries. Heck, they've somewhat successfully been able to undermine and stabilize our country to some extent in an effort to get us to withdraw from NATO/become isolationist. They have enough influence in the Repub ...
No Russia collusion? Trump just happens...for some reason no one knows why...to hire Paul Manafort--the guy who worked for Putin's pawn in Ukraine who got forced out-- to run his campaign and Manafort then shared polling data with a Ukaine associate that is believed to have been given to Russian int...
These aren't normal times. A sitting member of Congress--MTG-- advocated secession today probably because that's what Russia wants her to do. The Republican Party has been corrupted by Russia and is willing to maintain power through undemocratic means. Therefore Fetterman getting elected was far mor...
Nope. Youvare not reading it correctly. Defendant argued how they could know what act would violate national security, that's too vague a concept. The court essentially responded that the requirement of the statute that a defendant have "intent or reason to believe that the information to be ob...
Gorin v United States. Looking at the case again the Court rejected the argument thst the statute was vague because there was intent required under the statute "In each of these sections, the document or other thing protected is required also to be "connected with" or "relating t...
It's more complex than that Brad. There is a federal statute making it a crime to with "gross negligence" allow classified documents to be removed from secured areas. The problem is that there is a Supreme Court case back in the 1940s on an espionage case that in order to find the statute ...
Yes, Pence's case is similar to Biden's--inexcusable sloppiness but not criminal. Trump's actions were criminal and he should be charged. One starts to wonder why all this is happening now because it sure is helpful to Trump.
Yes, Brad not keeping classified in secured locations is wrong. Regardless of how they got there it's wrong. Having said that, justice requires that in determining the blame worthiness of conduct we don't just lump two similar situations together and say they are equally wrong. Trump's case is far w...
Peter Daszak and his Ecohealth Alliance is at the center of all this--their collaboration with WIV, their proposal to DARPA to insert furin cleavage sites in a SARs-like coronavirus. Though not funded the concern is that the work might have gone on anyway at WIV/North Carolina at Ralph Baric's lab. ...
The science can get kind of technical but one thing that those who oppose the lab leak theory have never been able to answer is how the Pandemic started in Wuhan 1,000 miles away from the bats with SARs-like viruses and wild bats were not being sold in markets there. But they were in WIV... China's ...
