That's not what's in the legal brief, read it or don't bother replying.

Great quote from Barr, pretty much sums it up,
Barr said he is "prepared" to face backlash.
"I also think it's sad that nowadays these partisan feelings are so strong that people have lost any sense of justice," Barr said. "And the groups that usually worry about civil liberties and making sure that there's proper procedures followed and standards set seem to be ignoring it and willing to destroy people's lives and see great injustices done."

So, when Harper ran on reducing the  GST, for example, it still went through the House of Commons.  I don’t agree that having something in an election platform means you can ignore established parliamentary procedures. 

Liberals didn't win the last election. They just got more seats in a minority government which means Trudeau doesn't have the political right or moral authority to decree a ban on guns unilaterally. Debate it in the H of C in the form of a Bill & pass it using the same democratic tools always used.  That would be to pass First, Second & Third readings in the House by convincing the other parties to support the bill as we are in a minority. Then send it to the Senate for approval & finally Royal Assent by the Governor General.  Otherwise, what's the point? I'm not debating the merits of the ban. Just how it was done It's wrong. 

Privately, some Democrats are now lamenting the standard they set in 2018, saying it has backfired now that Biden has been accused.
"We set up a standard we can't live by. No one likes to discuss it but it's the reality," said one Democratic strategist who requested anonymity to talk candidly. "It looks terrible for him and for the party. You can't say you believe women and then take it all back because it doesn't apply to you."
The Dems have already made my case for me, I don't need to add opinion. 

Would be better to get back to basics, on this. 

Joe Biden is like anyone else in the public eye.  He can admit or deny the charge.    Reade's original complaint made on the Hill is going to come out.   This week, CBS, Washington Post, The Times, CNN and others have run editorial statements, calling on Biden to address Reade's accusations.  In his case, Biden has publicly denied them, on national TV. 
So, the marker is up there now..... either compelling evidence, incoming....or there is not.  Biden will simply have to take his chances, just like everybody else.   If the case can be made, he should pay the legal price, and regardless, the Dems would end up with somebody else on the top of the ticket.
Time will tell.

Trying to deflect are we, try to stay on topic, we are discussing Biden Reade and the standard the Dems have set in prior cases. 

Are you referring to the attacks on me personally? If so, how is that an opinion? 

The Kavanaugh hearing was the biggest political story of 2018, with media outlets scouring his yearbook, hounding former classmates and printing claims from women other than Blasey Ford in an effort to establish a pattern of misbehavior.
Several of the additional claims crumbled under scrutiny, including an allegation of gang rape made by Julie Swetnick, who was represented by Michael Avenatti. That allegation resulted in a criminal referral for conspiracy to lie to Congress.
Avenatti you remember him, doing time now  

In 2018, Biden said that if a woman comes forward "in the glaring lights of focus," you've got to "start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she is talking about is real."
Brzezinksi also singled out Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as Democratic women who said Blasey Ford must be believed but are now defending Biden against Reade's allegations.
"Are women to be believed unless it pertains to you?" Brzezinksi asked Biden.

There is a clear double standard between how the media and Democrats treated Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's allegations versus Tara Reade's allegations," said Mike Davis, who led the Senate effort to confirm Kavanaugh.
"It was stunning to see Democrats say they believed Joe Biden even before he'd spoken a word about this," he added. "And the media instantly and breathlessly reported on all of the allegations against Justice Kavanaugh, which resulted in three criminal referrals against accusers for conspiracy to lie to Congress."

It's the principle of the thing, he by passed the democratic process, that is a no no.

Trump is a piece of **** and will get what is coming to him when he is out of office. I have said from day one that he is a wise guy con man from New Jersey, all you have to do is look at his past record of failed businesses and criminal behavior. I just want to see all politicians held to the same standard which somehow makes me a troll and Trump lover.

I have never claimed Trump, Kavenaugh or any of the other predators were innocent of any of the allegations made against them. I am advocating for the same standard for all accused and victims, nothing more, nothing less. Biden set out the standard in the Kavenaugh case, yet he refuses to hold himself to that same standard. The man is a hypocrite and will only use that standard when it is to his own political advantage. That says a lot about the character of the person imo. 

Attack the post, not the poster, none of you can in this case, you have been exposed for the hypocrites that you are and have proven you are just the same as those you claim are beneath you.  

Nobody is defending Trump, people are defending Biden and dismissing the victim which is the hypocrisy they would like you to overlook. However since it suites their political end game, it's okay. 

Simply disgraceful behavior being shown around here today. It's not about Trump or the other sexual predators out there, it's about the lack of compassion being shown towards the victim and how quickly you all are to dismiss her. Double standard hypocrites the lot of you, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
