Accusing someone of racism is about the most awful thing you can say. If you are going to say it, you damned well better bring the goods.</i><br /><br />The Left does this to demonize you. As soon as they started comparing Trump to Hitler, I knew violence was just around the corner - they need to pretend you are a monster so they feel justified in punching you. <br /><br />Here's a prediction to prove the point: at some point in the future, the Left will start a false narrative that conservatives are taking to the streets to shoot people they disagree with. That will be proven to be a lie, but not before the Left starts beating up people in the streets by pretending they are "monsters" that had it coming. <br /><br /><br />Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734571593963330215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-59485377810638089702016-03-14T05:17:39.114-05:002016-03-14T05:17:39.114-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734571593963330215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-67431753965858348132016-03-14T05:11:53.412-05:002016-03-14T05:11:53.412-05:00Lefties are such hypocrites.

And for better or worse it looks like its going to be Trump. What Perot couldn't do in 1992 and 1996 as a third party candidate it is starting to appear that the barely in disguised third party candidate Trump is about to pull off. If that is the case does the formal Republican party kiss and makeup with Trump and strive for victory while trying to seriously elect the most conservative candidates for Congress that is possible? Are they so stupid as not to do so? I'm afraid the answer is yes they are.cubanbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746305669005611456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-27125296928675348172016-03-13T16:42:29.471-05:002016-03-13T16:42:29.471-05:00The liberal media and the elite think they've ...The liberal media and the elite think they've found the formular to stop Trump. I hope they fail.<br /><br /><br />"It has been publicly documented that Occupy Wall Street-type protesters influenced by MoveOn.org, a group inspired by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and similar friends of fundamental transformer Barack Obama, purposefully targeted Donald Trump's Chicago rally with intent to incite violence and create chaos.<br /><br />On cue, major media networks, the DNC (redundant, I know), and GOP "elites" desperate to preserve the status quo of "Think Tank Life" seem motivated to stereotype Donald Trump and his voters as "the problem." Before our very eyes, we are witnessing "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosophy writ large. Strange bedfellows, indeed, when liberals, progressives, #BlackLivesMatter crazies, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich unite to defeat their arch-enemy: Donald Trump.

And if Trump filed a suit "just for discovery" that too would be very close to establishing a FRCP Rule 11 violation, for which a court could impose actual costs, court costs, and contempt-like penalties.<br /><br />If you are describing Trump as someone who has regularly abused litigation processes -- hardly a qualification for a President of the United States -- I might easily agree.<br /><br> I'm not a trump supporter. SO, im not syaing it IS a qualification for presidency. I was just talking about how litigious people use the court system. He may think he has a grievance. But may realize he will lose. But still go through with it ultimately becasue he wants to get info out in the public on who was pushign this protest. If that was his goal, but he said his goal was TO WIN, how would you prove him wrong? <br />This is the problem with the court system, actually. Trump, will use the court system to his advantage just like everyone else that does the same thing. No one goes in saying "my lawsuit is frivolous" they may realize it is (and I'm not saying he does think its frivolous) but they are not going to say it out loud. jr565https://www.blogger.com/profile/06250384040393259866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-22451541832321348192016-03-13T15:04:15.891-05:002016-03-13T15:04:15.891-05:00@ birkel...I pay my money to Limbaugh every year. ...@ birkel...I pay my money to Limbaugh every year.

And while I haven't checked, I think it is rarely invoked, and even more rarely with success.<br /><br />But if one wants to invoke Rule 11 in any "close case," then it would have an in terrorem effect on litigants trying to "change the law." So never mind the excellent substantive points you made (about who makes the laws; about federal versus state jurisdiction; about the strong precedents limiting recourse by "public figures"), let's just threaten to drop this procedural nuke.<br /><br />Would Trump be deterred by it?
