Troubled

I'm looking at an apparent contradiction between some things Jesus says in the Book of John, using the same Greek word: troubled (ταράσσω) Look particularly at John 12:27: “Now my soul is troubled , and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to thi...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

So I suppose this topic is over then. There are two separate questions here. The first question is whether or not Trump is legally qualified to be a presidential candidate. The Supreme Court did not rule on that question. They simply ruled that State courts are the wrong forum to make that determin...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

MennoNet indeed does look that way if one simply ignores the Politics group, which is, well, where political discussion happens. A forum full of conservative Anabaptists is not a good place to go to find (a) denouncements of your political enemies, and (b) endorsements of your political allies. Act...

No more stare decisis, then? Just keep bringing lawsuits until you get the verdict you want?
It ain't gonna happen, regardless. A new lawsuit on this same topic probably wouldn't make it to the Supreme Court.

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trump was found innocent of the charges brought at impeachment. I definitely agree that Trump is eligible and will be on the ballot unless Congress acts. And that they are unlikely to. Two details I disagree with ......

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding. The legal standard is ⅔ of the Senate, which wasn't reached. Congress did act, but Trum...

But it's moot unless you can convince Mike Johnson to agree with you....

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Do you think "facts" and arguments can exist in a disconnected fashion? I think that arguments about facts usually come from motives of someone who actually has some other agenda. I think it's good to have everyone's motives laid out on the table and say why they are really arguing for th...
