Clearly the GOP violated the Logan Act. Should they be prosecuted?

[Kondor3]

Is it Republicans who are the subject of the deal with Iran? What is the thread title?

Yes, what Republicans did, not your opinion of them which is what you wanted to discuss. I don't give a shit what your opinion of them is. I think they suck. The thread and my question is how they actually violated the Logan act since the OP gave no answer and you supported it

read the history of the act and how this issue has not been challenged in the high court yet

Yes, you don't know how the Republicans violated the Logan act, you mentioned that. Certainly explains you posting they did. They are Republicans, right? They must have...

a simple search will educate you. try it before you soil yourself again

Look it up is certainly an intellectual response to asking you to justify your statements. Well played, my friend. Well played

He-she-it has all the earmarks of an Intellectual Coward, alright.

Do low information lefties really believe that president the only one who is immune from prosecution under the Logan Act? You gotta laugh when the secretary of state deals with foreign governments as do ambassadors and the freaking white house press secretary not to mention the CIA and the FBI and every news anchor and the low information left wants to prosecute ....congress?

Uhm. It isn't "clear." It isn't at all true.

And so, naturally, there not only shouldn't be any prosecution, there really is no basis for even asking the silly question in the OP "title" of this thread.

What he SHOULD do is the business of each and every citizen of the United States, AND this thread.

ggod gawd, another Bumper sicker slogan?

Good grief Kondor Brown!

It is the business of each and every citizen of this country, to monitor and pass judgment upon the actions of those who govern us.

Do you dispute this principle?

Another bumper sticker slogan? Principle? Did you just pull this out of your arse?

Answer the question...

Is it, or is it not, the business of every citizen of this country, to monitor and pass judgement upon the actions of those who govern us?

Yes or No?

Or does the close scrutiny and criticism of The Governed constitute an impediment to your Emperor's activities?

Is it, or is it not, the business of every citizen of this country, to monitor and pass judgment upon the actions of those who govern us?

Yes or No?

Just answer the phukking question.

If you dare.

I believe we are to do our own research to understand Dante's statements, not ask Dante. Dante is is the process of leaving his corporeal Earthly state and has difficultly speaking in words rather than projecting his thoughts

why would any sane and sentient being continue in a conversation with you when it is obvious how dementedly goofy you people are?

You ignore and deny what is truth and fact and insist that people prove what is already proven. You need to get out more often -- out into the real world.

Of course it is clear. What is not clear is whether the act would pass constitutional muster. Myself, I say it wouldn't...

So what is the Logan Act? Unless you're familiar with rarely used, early American laws, you may have never heard of it.

It reads:

"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

"This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects."

nice to see you being honest and showing your hatred of freedom and the Constitution

twice in 1 week a leftist assbag has done that, seems you filth are emboldened with the open disregard your party shows the country

So it's so intuitively clear that Republicans violated the Logan Act you shouldn't have to do your own research, we should do it for you. And you shouldn't even have to identify what they did, we need to figure that out too. And because we don't just believe the liberal blogs where you do your research, that's on us. Yeah
