Still, get ready for more of this because it's a warmup for what they're going to try if Trump loses in 2020.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "get away with it". I assume the ultimate decisions would be made by the highest state court. I don't think federal courts would get involved.
While they are technically non-partisan, they are elected officials (although if one quits, the positon is appointed by Governor until the next election). There was one up for election this week, and it was not the conservative who won.
Yup. King personally supported the IRA and then called for mass surveillance of American Muslims in the guise of “anti-terrorism.”Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 5:29 pm "Fiercely loved his Irish heritage" is an interesting way to say he was an unapologetic supporter of the IRA.

He was running fund raising operations for a terrorist group during the days the IRA was detonating car bombs in the streets of London.

I totally agree with that sentiment, but I can't get behind anyone setting off bombs aimed at innocent civillians. I get that sometimes the powerless have no other way of attacking, but King raising funds for the IRA is in no way acceptable IMO.EnochRoot wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:57 pmIt's not that simple.

“wiki” wrote:...the Weather Underground was a radical left militant organization active in the late 1960s and 1970s... Beginning in 1974, the organization's express political goal was to create a revolutionary party to overthrow what it viewed as American imperialism.
“wiki” wrote:Boudin was born in New York City. His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members.
When Boudin was 14 months old, his parents were arrested for murder in their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink's robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York. His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard. After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.

Responding to the indictment, a pale-faced Netanyahu said in a televised speech that the “false” and “politically motivated” charges amounted to an “attempted coup” against him. “The public has lost trust in the legal system,” he said.

This news makes me so, so very happy.
Yet the religious right in Israel and North America will denounce this as some sort of conspiracy. They may not share a belief in Jesus, but the black hat crowd shares with American Evangelicals the belief that someone who holds the reins of power can be done in by a conspiracy of liberals bent on the destruction of their own country.

This wasn't an investigation launched by political opposition. It was a police investigation. Politically, the Liberals in Israel have lost the country.
