"Bullpoppy" is D.C. code for Bullshit for those not in D.C. As to reality, the Democrats are still looking for a crime that doesn't exist and it's costing us millions of dollars. Remember that at the polls. Whoops, looks like Mr. Smith removed his post. Heh. I took it down because of a mistake I made. I know, hard to believe ... about the mistake, I mean. I reposted a corrected version. Good eye, Bruce.

If you are referring to "Fonnalack," it is certainly not a Mwaukee suburb, but its very own entity at the base of the quite large Lake Winnebago. About an hour's drive from MKE.

Can we please get back to bitter name calling and character assassination? It's not even 9:30 am here on the east coast. Most of the name calling and character assassination isn't awake yet. Give it a couple hours.

He killed off my favorite character in Constable I. I think that was a mistake.
(unless Don is planning on bringing him back as friendly ghost or talking bush, kind of a broaden the audience deal or something)

Some folks were claiming that this impeachment didn’t count because... Whatever. Looks like it’s the real deal now, by any definition: Of course, this argument has no merit. The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment." Multiple past impeachments have gone forward without any authorizing resolutions. Just last week, a federal court confirmed that the House is not required to hold a vote and that imposing such a requirement would be "an impermissible intrusion on the House's constitutional authority." More than 300 legal scholars have also refuted this argument, concluding that "the Constitution does not mandate the process for impeachment and there is no constitutional requirement that the House of Representatives authorize an impeachment inquiry before one begins." The Trump Administration has made up this argument -- apparently out of whole cloth -- in order to justify its unprecedented cover-up, withhold key documents from multiple federal agencies, prevent critical witnesses from cooperating, and defy duly authorized subpoenas. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/house-vote-impeachment-inquiry-resolution

Your 300 legal scholars have confirmed what anybody with an 8th grad education and an ounce of common sense already knew; the house of representatives is responsible for impeachments and they make the rules. Period. What a waste of time and money to go to court to have a judge confirm what is down in black and white and in words anyone should be able to understand. In my opinion the courts ought to be doing something more useful. The Republicans know this. Despite that they've decided to make an argument that exposes the rank stupidity that seems to permeate D.C. They ought to either argue the merits of the case or sit down and shut the hell up. The Democrats aren't exactly covering themselves with glory in this whole affair either. Lately, they've started looking like they are poorly qualified for the important jobs they are supposed to be doing. What possessed the Democrats to decide to hold this whole thing behind closed doors anyhow? While they may want to argue that it's a bit like a grand jury there are enough lawyers in that bunch to know that grand jury proceedings are secret. This one is not. It leaks like the Titanic. To make matters worse, the leaks are selective. The Democrats let out only what they want to let out. Sure, that seems fair. Like it or not outside the beltway people notice stuff like this. And it stinks. Nancy Pelosi made it clear from the start that the impeachment inquiry was to be narrowly focused on Ukraine. Now the Democrats have secured access to the grand jury testimony in the Russian probe. Not very narrow is it? As of last night the Democrats had suddenly decided to hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry after insisting for weeks that it wasn't necessary. Either it is or it isn't. Make up your mind and then stick to your guns. Supposedly, Davy Crockett once said, "Make sure you're right, then go ahead." The Democrats give every indication that they have reversed the order of Davy's motto. And the #1 reason I'm fed up with this: Trump has been in the cross hairs since the day he took office. The Democrats have made no secret of their desire to drive Trump out of office. They started by alleging that Trump stole the election. They cast doubt on the legitimacy of his presidency. Then they set about looking for something anything, they could use to hang Trump. Now they've found the Ukraine scandal. My own thought is that Trump is a sleazy operator and his actions are not surprising. One of the troubling aspects of this is that there seems to be some reason to believe that Biden's actions should be investigated, political opponent or not. I've done a fair amount of reading and it's not clear to me that the idea of an investigation of Burisma or Biden's role in getting the prosecutor fired are entirely without merit. That puts a slightly different spin on things. The testimony we've heard from state department officials isn't damning if one considers the Biden angle. If we're going to investigate Ukraine, let's go all the way. Let's get the full story.

Constitutional amendment time. "If you're going to be 70 by the time you're sworn in, you're too old. If you squeak by on that, welcome to your one term presidency."
Arbitrary? Maybe, but so is 35.
