Cornel West Calling Obama ‘War Criminal’

Bill Maher Panel Descends Into Shoutfest Between GOP Guests And Cornel West Calling Obama ‘War Criminal’

by Josh Feldman | 11:18 pm, July 12th, 2013VIDEO116

During tonight’s Real Time, Bill Maher confronted panelist Cornel West about his criticism ofPresident Obama as a war criminal. West stood by that assertion, and he immediately got into a heated argument with his fellow panelists, one of whom said it would be ludicrous for U.S. presidents to be prosecuted for engaging in things like drone warfare to keep the country safe.
West proudly told Maher he’s “telling the truth about Obama,” and while he doesn’t hate the president, he finds it outrageous that innocent children are being killed in drone strikes. Maher shot back that “Obama didn’t do it for shits and giggles,” while The Daily Caller’s Matt Lewis mockingly asked West about whether Andrew Jackson was a war criminal for what he did to native Americans.

Republican Liz Mair agreed with West that most liberals are not as consistent as West when it comes to criticizing Obama for continuing and expanding Bush-era policies, but while both presidents have “pissed me off tremendously,” Mair explained the bigger issue is how neither man has been upholding their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Lewis said if the U.S. prosecuted every president we’ll become a “Banana Republic,” and argued the better solution is not to prosecute Obama, but to beat him in an election.
The panel also talked about Edward Snowden and his revelations, which Maher somehow downplayed as insignificant. When West insisted that the NSA’s actions are “crimes,” Maher could only counter that by saying they were approved by Congress.

IOF - Legal error by Alexandre de Moraes, minister of the STF

    IOF Legal error The federal government's action of decree number     12,466/2025, 12,467/2025 and 12,499/2025  , published between May 22 and June 11.  before the Supreme Federal Court, it refers to the issue of constitutionality and not the merits of the issue. In legal terms, the "merits of the case" refers to the core of the dispute, that is, the main point on which the judge must decide in a case.   It is the central issue that defines the claimant's claim and the defendant's defense, and on which the judge must rule in the judgment.   In other words, the merits are what really matter in the case, the object of the dispute, the reason why the parties are arguing.   It is the analysis of the merits that will determine whether or not the plaintiff is right in his claim, and whether the defendant should be held liable.   Moraes suspends government and congressional actions on IOF The Minister called a conciliation hea...
