Don't act like one of them.

Saying "lawfare" has never been properly defined =/= saying lawfare doesn't exist.

Without a proper, universal definition, the statement of whether it does or doesn't exist isn't logically possible

AOC says the Democrats are looking at impeaching Supreme Court justices for "legalizing Trump's criminality."

Obviously she means Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

KBJ, Kagen and Sotomayor are safe because they rule the "right" way.

And you thought they were gonna focus on gas prices?




Lawfare isn’t a worry if you think the “right” way

How about this:

lawfare - the use of civil or criminal process, especially by a party or politicians in power, against political enemies when such legal process is driven primarily by the intent to harm a political rival.

I just made this up, but I think it's close enough for discussion.

At least from where I sit, President Trump has been a victim of lawfare, and he also wielded it as a weapon. Democrats have done the same; indeed, they started it, at least with respect to him.

I would love to see lawfare recede, but it is hard to imagine with the rising time of Democrats giddy about prosecuting crimes they've yet to identify,.

Who the frick is supposed to define this so you will stop this shite?
Wikipedia? CNN? Lady Gaga?

There will certainly never be a universal ruling to define that specific term.

However it is used here and everywhere in between to clearly communicate the use of the justice system (which whether you like it or not is inherently politically biased depending on who the people are that are adjudicating the case) to try and strongarm someone that is not politically aligned with those that are initiating the "investigation."

It's the reason certain cases get conveniently sent to certain courts that offer a more favorable outcome. You're a fricking lawyer and you know this.

So that's it. That's the definition for the purposes of this website. SPeak to that when you hear the term lawfare. Give your opinions based on that contect and stop the fricking games man.

Trump needs to just go ahead and give/sign pre-emptive blanket pardons to EVERYONE in his administration, staff, cabinet, etc. F the dems.

If I was Trump, each and every time the Democrats brought forward a name or person to "investigate" with their lawfare, I would immediately issue a pardon for that individual. Do it one at a time, every time the Dems issue a subpoena or "investigation". He can do this for the next two years.


Yep.

If Biden can pardon people the way he did, Trump can too.

I legit can't fricking stand people like him. People like him have such a distorted high opinion of their own intellect that they are incapable of grasping the very thing that makes someone truly smart. The ability to know your own limitations.

What these discussions always devolve into is a discussion about legitimacy.

Perceived illegitimate actions = lawfare

Perceived legitimate actions = not lawfare

And that legitimacy is almost always built around the team concept

The definition is largely personal.

Not only that. There will never be universal application of that term, either.

ETA: If you'd like an amazing display of this in action, with another echo chamber term, go read the BRICS thread and see how "globalism" is being used.

What does double jeopardy have to do with Congressional investigations?


Double jeopardy exists because of the lawfare you pretend to not grasp because you'd rather distract and troll.
