Wait till they vote on their party platforms in their upcoming convention.

What happened to bipartisanship and respect for other viewpoints?

See your previous post for a display of bipartisanship and respect.

Beau Ouiville

That was a respectful legal argument. Simple difference of opinion backed up by constitutional reasoning. I don't remember calling an adversary an idiot.

The guy who wrote the column can be classified as a nut job if he had a different opinion (on the same subject) for Cruz and if most legal folks think his idea is way off.

I believe applying a different standard or set of rules to 2 different people is known as a double standard or even being disingenuous. Calling somebody a nutjob surely isn't showing respect and obviously isn't a display of bipartisanship towards somebody who has a different opinion and is likely from a different party. These are all your words. I'm just reminding you of them.

Beau Ouiville

You equate me criticizing what was written by a person with a poster here making a blanket condemnation of millions of people as idiots? The two don't compare.

So that's where the line is drawn on behavior. It's okay for you to criticize one person but not okay for that person to "condemn" millions (although you've also condemned millions yourself in previous posts). Two sets of rules apparently.

Beau Ouiville

It is not two rules at all. Critical response to a legal opinion is expected; blanket condemnation of the majority party in the US is inappropriate. The concept is not difficult.

I'm not sure if you do this knowingly or it's just some habit you have when talking with somebody you disagree with. For you, it's apparently okay to bash a single person but "inappropriate" to bash the "dominant political party." Does that make it okay to bash non-dominant political parties and/or individuals? You tend to criticize people when you disagree with them instead of simply debating the ideas you disagree with. In an earlier response, you called a guy a "nutjob" then when I called you on that, you wrote above how "critical response to a legal opinion is expected." From what I saw, you didn't seem to do much responding, explaining or critical thinking" of the idea you disagreed with, just the personal insult you offered. Of course, since you disagree with me, you had to finish with something about how your concept is not difficult. As if I'm somehow dumb or lesser than you. At this point, you still haven't explained why you think the other guy was wrong and instead seem to be hiding behind personal insults. Didn't you complain about people using personal insults a while back? Does that mean it's not okay for somebody to insult you or your intelligence but it's okay for you to do either to somebody else on this forum? Just asking because that seems to be your MO on this forum.
