How many think Nancy Pelosi is a great Speaker?

   jackclee lmposted 6 years ago

   Just a simple question.
   Taking a pulse of hubbers here...
   Given all that we know about Nancy Pelosi...her past reign as Speaker of the House  during the Obama years...
   And now again under Trump, do you think she is a capable legislator?
   Yes and no and why?

            It would be the biggest mistake in their strategy.
            They should learn a lesson from the Clinton impeachment.
            Even though the evidence was substantial, Clinton was aquited by the Senate. It would be the same with Trump.

         Is that what you think? Are a conspiracy fear monger now?
         She got what she deserved.
         She has learned nothing in the past two years.
         She initiated this attack by sending letter to Trump postponing the State of the Union addresss... did she not?
         And we all know, when you attack Trump, he hits back twice as hard?
         Right?
         So, it is so predictable that Trump would counter attack within his power to take her trip away...
         There is no intelligence breach. She is not going is she?

            She cancelled obviously because Trump breached major security protocols.
            
            By your response, it sounds like you think Trump had a right to violate security procedures and put her in harm's way.

He's already got him on his dealings with the two women he paid off so why go for lesser crimes? If the report of him telling Cohen to commit perjury before Congress is true, he may be the first president indicted while in office despite Justice Department policy.

   You're simply wrong jackclee: Bozo Trump has according to Michael Cohen, conspired to influence an election which is a federal crime punishable by imprisonment and he's now an un-indicted co-conspirator according to many legal experts: Michael Cohen said this under oath and it's backed up by at least another witness: WHY do you think Bozo is in perpetual "Twitter Rant" mode ??
   
   Many other exhibit of evidence to potential criminal acts have been recorded and it's too bad for Donald that they are all documented on his little twitter pages and on film: The only positive for his last remaining followers which is a rapidly dwindling number of radicals, is the fact that he can't RESIGN for if he does, he'd be immediately indicted:
   
   As for Nancy "Powerhouse" Pelosi, the greatest speaker in history? She was very instrumental in saving our auto industry, saving our economy and millions of jobs from the republican ineptitude of George W. Bush and securing health insurance for tens of millions of Americans which Bozo Trump has been trying desperately to sabotage since day one of his nightmarish era which must END soon:

   Pelosi appears to be unable to make a coherent statement, many times. She can't think of simple words, stumbles harshly in presentation and is one of the most ineffectual speakers I think are currently in politics.
   
   I had wondered about this, but I just heard she's an alcoholic so that may explain some of her more bizarre appearances.

      Compared to Trump, she's a breath of fresh air. Or do you think he's a very coherent speaker? If so, have a hamburder on me!

         No. I wouldn't chalk Trump up to an inspirational speaker but he doesn't sound drunk, or appear to be suffering from some form of dementia as Pelosi does.

      Pelosi isn't an alcoholic.   Where did you get this "conspiraformation" from? Please tell us.  While I may not like Ms. Pelosi, to believe rumors that she is an alcoholic is beyond ad hominem.

         But, I didn't say it was true. I said I heard it and it would explain her inability to speak coherently. It could be dementia. She is a dinosaur.

         Nancy Pelosi just owned the shut down. She is the only one standing in the way of a wall, funding for it, and the pasing of the budget.
         She made this her last stand. She is willing to shut down the state of the union address. Who does she think she is? The President?
         Hostage taking is a term many used to describe this shut down. It is clear to every thinking person, left, right or center...she is the problem.
         When the GOP was in charge, they gave President Obama everything he wanted. He was the President. There was never a budget they did not pass. Now, it is quite a different story...isn’t it?
         She wants the government open before negotiating...
         Once it does, there is no reason to negotiate.
         
         If I was Trump, I would just keep the govenment closed. It is on her...

               So where is the Supreme court on this? Aren’t they the third leg of our government? Why are no judges speaking out? Is it Constitutional for a Speaker of the House to stop an agenda that American people wanted for many years and she even voted on a few years earlier?
               Where is rhe judicial ruling on this? These seems to be hiding under their bench.

                     Really? What am I getting wrong here?
                     The courts seems to get invoved with all kinds of stuff...that is outside of the Constitution in recent days...
                     Why are they exempt?
                     The Constitution is a living document? No?
                     Which is it to you?
                     In case you don’t realize it, we are facing a Constitutional crisis.
                     A high ranking member of Congress is defying the President the ability to communicate to the American people...it is unprecedented as far as I can remember.
                     She has no respect for the office and believes in her heart that Trump is illegitimate.

                        Well, since you asked. It is mostly your questions that indicate the need for a Civics refresher course.
                        
                        For instance:
                        
                        "So where is the Supreme court on this? Aren’t they the third leg of our government? "
                        
                        In your context, "leg" may not be synonymous with "branch."
                        
                        
                        
                        Then:
                        
                        "Why are no judges speaking out? Is it Constitutional for a Speaker of the House to stop an agenda that American people wanted"
                        
                        This also answered by the above quote; the "judges," (still speaking of SCOTUS, right?), are not directed to "speak out" on any issue that isn't placed before them.
                        
                        But I had to look elsewhere for more detailed Civics and the Judicial branch information, (the above was the extent of Judicial branch information in the American Civics 101 article).
                        
                        And I found this:
                        
                        
                        Then there was this:
                        
                        "Where is rhe judicial ruling on this? These seems to be hiding under their bench.
                        
                        They were so quick to weigh in on the Travel ban last year..."
                        
                        I think you are mixing-up your courts jackclee. It was Federal courts, (judges), that were "quick to act" on the travel ban. SCOTUS didn't act at all until the case was presented to them, and then they found in favor of the administration.
                        
                        "This is exactly what their job is. When the two other branches are at a dead lock, you need another party to step in and arbitrate..."
                        
                        Once more your American Civics 101 answers this question:
                        
                        
                        "We need a Supreme Court decision on who has the responsibility to control immigration to our country. The President or Congress?."
                        
                        This is an easy one jackclee. You know that Article 2 of the Constitution answers this for you, in broad terms. And relating specifically to controlling immigration, it is Article 1 Section 8, (and later SCOTUS decisions), that answers your question - Congress has the Federal power to control immigration.
                        
                        "The Constitution is a living document? No? "
                        
                        That is a matter of opinion, isn't it? I say no. Can you prove me wrong?
                        
                        "In case you don’t realize it, we are facing a Constitutional crisis. "
                        
                        Another opinion. And again I say no. Both the Constitution and SCOTUS are pretty clear regarding this responsibility. Can you prove me wrong?
                        
                        "A high ranking member of Congress is defying the President the ability to communicate to the American people "
                        
                        By "defying" do you mean denying? Or obstructing? Either way, All I see is her saying he can't do it in the House she controls. Pres. Trump is still free to communicate with the American people in a number of other locations.
                        
                        But, you might be right about Pelosi believing in her heart that Trump is illegitimate.
