Fair enough.

If you are referring to me . . . for the record, I don't think Trump should have been convicted, and I think his conviction will be overturned on appeal due to faulty jury instructions on the second" crime needed to upcharge from misdemeanor to felony. I've said this before (Post #168). For...

Cohen admitted on the stand that he was waiving attorney-client privilege for his communications with his own attorney, someone other than Costello? Boy, you are going to have to show me that one. Here's a link to the trial transcripts (Cohen testified on May 13, 14, 16 and 20). Point it out...

You are now arguing that his letter to the Roman church supports its primacy, not that his letter to the Smyrneans does. If you think his letter to the Smyrneans does, tell me why. I've already told you why I think it doesn't, when read in the original Greek. (Gotta go to the Greek!)...

No, in that post I am saying that Iggy's letter offers no support for Roman primacy throughout the Mediterranean world. That's all. (Some of the other letters you cite do support it, some don't, but I haven't yet addressed my views on them.)

I haven't put up an "entire defense" for why I think Rome's primacy is wrong, not yet at least. Thus far I've only focused on one letter purported to support the notion. And I don't think the "defense" is mine to mount. I think it falls to the proponents of Roman primacy to support their thesis.

Well, I enjoy your discussions!

No. “A party seeking ‘to invoke the crime-fraud exception must demonstrate that there is a factual basis for a showing of probable cause to believe that a fraud or crime has been committed and that the communications in question were in furtherance of the fraud or crime.'” Matter of New York...

No, I am looking for Cohen waiving privilege so Cohen's attorney could testify.

Can you show me that one?

You mean Binitarian, not Trinitarian, don't you?

Only the client (in this case, Cohen) can waive attorney-client privilege. If he doesn't, his attorney cannot testify about what his client told him or what he told his client. You don't have a problem with that concept, do you?

Why then do so many Christians, outnumbering JWs a hundred to one, not see it the same way? Are we all blind? Stupid?

Yup, that's the one I mean!

Peter: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Grailhunter: "Wait a minute, Pete. Repentance and baptism are not salvific, so why even mention them? Just tell this crowd to believe in...

You mean Costello? He DID testify. Point me to Merchan's ruling excluding what's on that list, please, so I can assess whether his rulings comport with the rules of evidence. We'll know whether that claim is accurate soon enough, based on Stefanik's complaint. What I can tell you is that in...

Methinks you are overreaching a bit with this one, my friend. Names in Scripture suggesting Christ as head of the church were indeed suggested by Cardinal Bellarmine as applicable to the Pope (1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 4:15, 5:23; Colossians 1:18, 2:10). But that's as far as he went. He...

The New York Supreme Court is the trial court. Appeals are taken from there to the Appellate Division as a matter of right, and from there to the New York Court of Appeals -- the Empire State's highest court -- as a matter of discretion. SCOTUS won't review the New York Court of Appeals'...

Giving an improper jury instruction -- if indeed the appellate court decides it was improper -- does not make the trial "rigged." Trial judges make mistakes from time to time despite trying to get the instructions right. You are presuming an intentional misstatement of the law. But there is...
