Separations of powers is just impotence. We should un-separate the power and place it all in the executive, who must be above the law.

That is precisely how nations that were once democracies become "president for life" banana republics.

If anyone thinks that Trump is subverting the Constitution they should take the time to read about what Lincoln did......
Of course. Lincoln rode roughshod over it.

But the ironic part is that the first instance of "voter retaliation" resulted in the election of Abraham Lincoln. The second instance, if it occurs, would result in the election of Donald Trump, the Revenge of the Lost Cause.

Sit back and enjoy the show.
So, no court has pronounced him guilty....so, he is not guilty. Thank you.
I have been enjoying the show. We should nominate Schiff for "Entertainer of the Year" award. He could go to the podium and give one of his awkward stares at the audience in place of an acceptance speech.

Which court pronounced Clinton guilty?
The Arkansas Bar Association........they have a right to determine whether or not a member is guilty of violating their ethics....which perjury does. I believe the Bar Assoc. is responsible to the state for discipline of their members.

The Arkansas Bar Association is not a court of law, and an ethical violation is not inherently a crime.

That doesn't mean he is innocent, either.
A presumption of innocence does not mean that person is literally not guilty.

Acquittal
At the end of a criminal trial, a finding by a judge or jury that a defendant is not guilty. An acquittal signifies that a prosecutor failed to prove his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt, not that a defendant is innocent. Thus, a person may be acquitted of a crime but found civilly liable in a civil case regarding that same crime, e.g. O.J. Simpson, because civil cases have a lower burden of proof than criminal cases.
