A ruling has already been made that we cannot bring up previous examples of past POTUS going outside the scope of their branch.

But yes, you're right. It's a failure to understand on my part.

Bfine, this is just dodgery.

No one has "ruled" you cannot bring up past examples or pertinent legal precedents for examining current candidates in a thread about their competence.  You just don't have any that aren't uninformed whataboutism and expansive equivocation.

No one would mind if you brought up Nixon's obstruction of justice or Reagan's Iran contra shenanigans to clarify why Trump is or is not obstructing justice. You just don't have anything on Obama like that. Whereas Trump is on record as committing similar abuses.

For the record, I have clearly stated that Trump gets away with it because of his party--i.e., their control of the Senate enabled by Republican voters. The judiciary is "fulfilling its duty" for the most part. My "issue" therefore is exactly where it should be--with Trump, his party, and the voters who enable both. (e.g., reread posts # 204 and 213 on this thread.) Not to mention Trump deflectors who "laugh" at those who refuse to normalize Trump's incompetence and character flaws.

So far, looks like I am right that you have failed to demonstrate you understand Trump's abuse of power and contempt for rule of law as such.
