Socratic Seminar

The Justice Department points to an allegation that Mr. Trump may have violated a law that prohibits the solicitation of an illegal foreign campaign contribution, which doesn’t necessarily mean money, it can also mean a “thing of value.”

The question is not what you believe politically.  I do not want to hear any conversation about your “politics.”  We only want to discuss the matter at hand.  Your opinion for or against ouster does not mean anything about your political opinion.  If we were the Senate, we would want our decision to be objective and not dependent on our political alliances.

So here it is:

Do you think American presidents should ask foreign powers to investigate political rivals?  Why or why not?

Do you think that President Trump should be ousted from the presidency based on this law?  Why or why not?

“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” by Lauryn Hill https://youtu.be/3hvntSfvqGQ
My world it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight that I can’t breathe
And every time I try to be, what someone else has thought of me
So caught up, I wasn’t able to achieve

But deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny

I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know that His strength is within me

And deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny

And deep in my heart…
And deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny
“Hard Times” by RUN DMC
Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don’t let it catch you
P-p-p-prices go up, don’t let your pocket go down
When you got short money you’re stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the clock
And be on point for the future shock

Hard times
Hard times

Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don’t let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I’ll tell you what, homeboy, it don’t have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Because I need that dollar every day of the week

Pre-Trial Argument

Motion to suppress

A motion to suppress evidence is a request by a defendant that the judge exclude certain evidence from trial. The defense often makes this motion well in advance of trial—if the defendant wins it, the prosecution or judge may have to dismiss the case. Whether dismissal is appropriate depends on how important the evidence is to the prosecution’s case. 

Motions to suppress evidence are most common in Fourth Amendment, search-and-seizure cases.

Example:  Wallace and Poot are walking down the street. They aren’t behaving suspiciously, and the police don’t have any reason to suspect that they’ve recently committed a crime. Nevertheless, Officers Carver and Haulk pull up alongside them in a car. They order Wallace and Poot to stop, then jump out of the car and frisk both. Officer Carver finds an “eight-ball” of cocaine in Wallace’s jacket pocket. The prosecution charges Wallace with drug possession. Wallace’s lawyer files a motion to suppress the cocaine evidence. The judge grants the motion due to the fact that the officers didn’t have reasonable suspicion for the detention of Wallace and Poot, nor any basis to search them. Since the prosecution can’t prove the crime without the evidence, it moves to dismiss charges; the judge grants the motion.

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution places limits on the power of the police to make arrests, search people and their property, and seize objects and contraband (such as illegal drugs or weapons). These limits are the bedrock of search-and-seizure law.
