    should be impeached if he had done anything illegal but that actions made by a president to secure election as part of his commitment to the public interest would not necessarily and automatically be a quid pro quo if those actions were not illegal.
    In his lawsuit, Dershowitz said CNN edited his remarks to distort his meaning, according to Law and CrimeDershowitz wants $50 million in compensatory damages and $250 million in punitive damages.
    He spoke about the lawsuit during a Tuesday appearance on the Fox NewsCNNNick Sandmann over its reporting of an incident involving Sandmann that took place during the 2019 March for Life.

      Don't trust the media, and people are tired of Entitled millionaires preaching to them (which is what these "award shows" have become).
      Same can be said about a lot of the Millionaire/ Billionaire athletes, preaching about the oppressive USA (which allowed them the freedom to make the choice to become an over-payed athlete).

          Since he supports trump, it sounds like he is saying it is okay to give tax breaks to corporate billionaires who survive off of gutting the poor and middle class, but don't listen to athletes who make their money from people who willingly pay to see them play a game.
          When billionaires are given huge tax breaks that money has to be made up somewhere. Can you guess where? Yup, the poor and middle class.
          It is funny how conservatives willingly vote against their best interests.

            That's a good tax analysis....if you're in the 2nd grade.

            I'm not gonna get into a lengthy tax discussion because I know it would be a big waste of time.

            Ronald Reagan actually reduced taxes on big business and a strange thing happened: The government collected more taxes

            Evidence found here: https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/_c...april-1996.pdf

              How's Trump Doing ? With the collected more taxes??? Yep FAILURE

              The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated that the budget deficit for fiscal year 2020 would increase to a record $3.8 trillion, or 18.7% GDP.

                and MOST of the deficit comes from the "corona relief" that NanNan loaded with pork.

                  Just to follow up...

                  I read this morning that cities run by liberals are spending that money on liberal projects that have nothing to do with the actual corona virus.

                    You mean the one that gave 1200 dollars to you and was pass in The Republican control Senate and President Trump signed ?

                    How could that happen under the Republicans?

                    Surely your must have returned that money as it would add the the federal deficit

                      I know none of you will read the data in the link I posted as I don't think yall are genuinely interested in learning. Nonetheless, maybe you guys will read this one paragraph from the link that I posted:


                      The criticism that the tax payments of the rich would fall under ERTA was based on a static conception of human behavior. As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid. Unfortunately, estimates of ERTA byDemocrat-controlled CBO continued to show falling tax payment byupper income taxpayers, even after actual IRS data had become available showing a surge ofincome tax payments by affluent taxpayers.

                              Liberals never make any sense.

                              It's been proven time and time again that there's massive government waste in everything from medicare to the military. But instead of reducing the size of the government, liberals want the government to control more of the economy.
