@oralloy,
Most democratic governments have checks and accountabilities for such things:
- In a court, a mistrial may be declared if the judge was friends with one of the parties.
- In government, misconduct charges may be brought (if such things exist) if politicians don't declare their conflict of interests.
- Same goes for government employees who make decisions (in this case, of relevance, a police officer investigating a crime alleged to be perpetrated by his friend, and not declaring the friendship or excusing himself from the investigation)

Of course that's how it works in Australia. I would be very surprised if there aren't similar checks and balances in the US.

Surely you know these sorts of things.

I was using your phrasing back at you. Same goes for my argument - your legal 'facts' are irrelevant to my argument regarding the right and wrong of it.

The President's powers are pretty absolute when it comes to executive authority.

Impeachment and elections are about the only checks against abuses of this power.

The President of course doesn't have any legislative or judicial powers.

@glitterbag,
Oralloy has fantasised about desecrating the bodies of children murdered by his NRA chums.

Don't expend anything good to come from there, he's like Gollum with all the warm fuzzy bits removed.

@izzythepush,
The NRA doesn't murder anyone. They protect against murderers.

I've hardly fantasized about such desecration.

Isn't Oralloy someone you will not talk to, only talk about? You have a bad habit of hiding behind gossip that is usually just another lie coming from you.
