@Marnix I guess I naïvely expected at least some attempt at argumentation and citing of prior caselaw. Am I missing something or does the argument here come down to "lots of people voted for me, therefore opposing me is a crime"?
@WilliamGunn Or one could just as easily say “This judge is way outside his authority, but he’s slowing down Trump, so he can rule however he likes.”
@JeffBerman If one were to engage in partisan rhetoric, yes. I'm more trying to understand what's actually happening than whose side benefits.
@WilliamGunn Yes, I hear you. Of course, rhetoric sounds partisan only when it comes from the opposing point of view. I guess we’ll hear the arguments once it gets into the House.
@JeffBerman I see the distinction between partisan and non-partisan as one of intent - is it trying to persuade or inform. Partisans often try to disguise themselves, sure, but not every argument is partisan. Distinguishing the two is a real exercise in wise judgment, particularly given that one must recognize the way one's own mind filters experience.
Anyways, yes, I hope we do see arguments and not just a further iteration of more impeachment of those who dare to present an opposing view.
