It's a damned shame (in this instance only) that the Commander-in-Chief is NOT
subject to the MCJ. But alas, under the constitution, and in the spirit of
"separation of powers," the Commander-in-Chief IS a civilian. In other words,
the US military is constitutionally under civilian control and command.
Therefore the military has no legal power of arrest. On the other hand, the
proper constitutional process is moving forward as we speak. Let us hope that
enough Democrat senators, assuming impeachment, will have enough respect for
the constitution, or if not, enough fear of how they will be historically
judged, to vote a just verdict, ie, the ejection of this Commander-in-Chief.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
