jackk-
1) The Supreme Court nominee should be a different discussion- I just brought up a point here that the nominee seems to rule the way she wants the law to be- not the way the law is. If she wants the law to be changed, there’s a different branch of the Government that deals with that.
Yes, impeachment is much more complicated that’s why I tried to break it down to a simple piece- the senators were supposed to rule on whether he broke the law or not by lying under oath, it was up to the House to decide if it was an impeachable offense or not. The senators were not supposed to vote on if they felt it was an impeachable offence or not. Can you please address that point?
I know about the other two impeachments that were brought since Former President Clinton. What’s your point? The second one had no chance of removing him from office as he had already left office. In my opinion it was brought as political revenge (do you recall Nancy Pelosi giggling while handing out impeachment pens?).
2) You seem to be avoiding the question here. Neither party is Frum or backed by the Torah. Yidden should vote for the party that has values that are closer to the Torah. There’s a party that’s trying to force the country to recognize relationships that the Torah calls an abomination. A Frum Yid should not stand behind that party.
3) You asked me to bring a source that this lawlessness is going on. Videos of people stealing merchandise in front of security guards who can’t do anything is lawlessness. By Democrats not allowing the thieves to be arrested for stealing less than a certain amount and allowing violent offenders to get released that same day without having to post any cash bail- they have removed all (or most) of the consequences. The majority of this is taking place in Democrat run cities.
4) So can you answer this question- are you for taking away benefits from able working people after a certain amount of time (say five years) once they had a chance to get back onto their feet?(Obviously with exceptions for those who fall on hard times again.)
5) No- there’s no modification that would have helped it. It needed to be fully repealed. The US is not in a place where universal healthcare (or any type of health care for everyone run by the Government) can work.
We can disagree here but I don’t think Republicans will ever abandon those that can not take care of themselves. It seems like you do feel that way. We’ll just have to disagree on that point.
6) I live in the U.S. because it is the country where Frum Yidden can live the most comfortably. We have equal rights and when choosing between two parties that do not represent the Torah we can, without fear, vote against the one that is more against the Torahs values.
I brought up the current Supreme Court nominee because she either clearly doesn’t know the constitution too well or decides on cases based on her personal feelings- this was relevant to the first point above. The three nominees from Former President Trump do not always vote Conservative even though that’s they’re view- they vote with the Constitution. Apparently Justice Kagan never had any ruling overturned but that’s just because she was never a judge.
I don’t stay home on election day because I need to vote Republican- not that I agree with them in everything but more importantly to vote against the Democrats.
