Yes. Clearly they can as far as Federal Law impacts who is qualified to appear on ballots within the State, because Federal Law also applies to the States. The specific issue here is what are the qualifications that must be met by someone wanting to run for President of the United States. One...

I hope this idea of Republicans withdrawing in sympathy with Trump becomes contagious.

How is it possible for anyone, such as yourself, to get things so upside down? No conviction of sedition is required to be ineligible to run for Federal Office under the 14th Amendment. Few, if any, of the Southern Confederate insurrectionists made ineligible by the 14th Amendment to run for...

Read the 14 Amendment. No mention of conviction!

There is not. Read the Smith Indictment to see what the specific charges are. Trump is not being charged with Insurrection in the D.C. case being brought by Smith. 2 felony counts (including one conspiracy count) of obstructing an official proceeding under 18 U.S.C. § 1512 | 1 felony count of...

States law must follow the Constitution. Colorado's high court agreed with the lower court that Trump had participated in an insurrection but disagreed with the lower court on the issue of whether Trump is an "Officer". The higher court said Trump is an "Officer" and therefore subject to the...

The world seems to be coming apart at its seams. I hope this is an overstatement; I fear it is not. "From advising former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to heading up the US / Middle East Peace Project, Daniel Levy has had a front row seat at some of the most consequential peace...

Thanks I appreciate that. I just looked it up and you are right! (The -ae is the Latin plural I believe and the -a ending should be the feminine singular (it's been a few years since my junior high Latin class, so please forgive me if I haven't it quite right.) I changed the ending because I...

I don't know if this is the gist of what Dimon said, you did let us know you were paraphrasing. I'm hoping, however, Dimon was more circumspect then your brief paraphrase would suggest. Trump may, or may not, have had correct information re China, NATO, Energy, and the Military. Assuming he...

"He's a great 'choose' to lead the NY Fed." ??? apparently I sent this post without reading it first. "choose" => choice ; "minutia" => minutiae ; wavelengh => "wavelength".

That's John C. Williams. He was at the San Francisco Bank previously. He's a great choose to lead the NY Fed. He'd be one of my top picks to Chair the Fed Governors. He has a detailed understanding of Fed operations down to minutia, and he understands U.S. fiat money. He is up to date. He...

I'll second all of that.

I see little substantive difference between Sinwar and Netanyahu. They are both vile criminals. Choosing between them is like choosing between Hitler and Stalin.

The cat's already out of the bag. Globalization is here and it is unstoppable. You might as well accept is and move on. Once you have the internet, there is no putting it back in the bag.

Here is another post to bookmark. I have an advantage. I have lived much longer than you, so i have seen all this before. I know how a conflict between a big bully country with a powerful army and a smaller country that doesn't want to be bullied ends. It ends once the big bully's soldiers...

:rolleyes:

This former U.S. military attache explains in simple words why it is in my view impossible for Russia to prevail in Ukraine.

Gore is a busy guy, what with his inventing and such. I wonder what he'll invent next. Maybe crypto, or did he already invent that?

Your being facetious, right?

The West withdrawing support for Ukraine is a necessary but insufficient condition for Ukraine to lose. Even if all the NATO countries withdraw support*, and that's not happening, it will still be impossible for Russia to win in Ukraine, unless the Ukrainians give up. We see zero signs of them...
