Would you try a doctor for medical malpractice after he resigned?

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Let's say that a physician actually did commit serious medical malpractice, leading to the death or serious injury of a patient. Let's then say that this same doctor, recognizing his error, and already having been accused by the relevant credentialling body (the AMA, for example), resigned and is no longer a practicing physician. Should that body then go on to hear the accusation, and decide whether malpractice had occurred? Or should it just "let it go?"

Well, what about a President, who appears to have committed a seriously "high crime," and has been indicted (or in this case impeached) by the appropriate body (the House of Representatives), whose term then ends. Should this President still have that case heard by the body (Senate) designated to decide whether or not that accusation of "high crime" is justified?

If you answered yes to one, no to the other, what's the difference, in your view?

 

[Audie]

The analogy is especially apt but

Its important I think to investigate
everything.

Toss in Biden and his finances, re China, Ukraine and his overpaid kid.

No difference.

And in fact there have been impeachment trials after other people have left office so there's precedent.

Let's also investigate you and all your relatives because, of course, you are responsible for everything your relatives have done or are doing and we should investigate EVERYTHING.

Real and obvious crimes are different than alleged crimes with no evidence. I see, false equivalence from the right as usual.

Bring on the evidence, and let's do it!

No evidence. Droll!

And if someone sees diff., well,
make it false.

Me, " the right" As if. Like you know anything,
Just throw that out to score an imagined sure win.

The 'as usual" is there for sure.

Ha, alleged, false, no evidence!!
You right winger you!

Your talking about under qualified as well.

Biden was involved without a question.

I agree. If you go for one, you go for all.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

If you answered yes to one, no to the other, what's the difference, in your view?

He should face the Senate trial.
He should also face a military court over it.

Then you should have no problem find evidence of his wrong doings from a reliable source.

Should that body then go on to hear the accusation, and decide whether malpractice had occurred? Or should it just "let it go?"

The malpractice in your example occurs while the physician is still on the register.

So it's proper for them to look at the malpractice, and make a ruling on it. This will prevent the offender from re-enrolling, and may in future prevent his enrollment in another jurisdiction. Since he's admitted liability, it won't be particularly relevant to insurance claims by his patients, but that can be an aspect.

Well, what about a President, who appears to have committed a seriously "high crime," and has been indicted (or in this case impeached) by the appropriate body (the House of Representatives), whose term then ends. Should this President still have that case heard by the body (Senate) designated to decide whether or not that accusation of "high crime" is justified?

Yes, they should proceed to remove him from office and they should proceed to vote that he be debarred from standing for Federal office ever again.

If SCOTUS later determines that impeachment proceedings are ended by the expiry of the offender's term or his resignation (or whatever), so be it. That's for later.

But the problem with politics is, it's all political. We're looking at close to all the Republicans shaping up not to see justice done but to find the path of most personal advantage, failing which the least personal damage. It's called covering the back of your pants, or dress, as the case may be. Maybe someone could invent a snappier way of saying that ...

What do those have to do with Trump?

No goose gander in the land of the left.

Not much in the land of the right, either. But
you know that. I think despite how you come
across to most people on either side, and probably
how you think and feel about it yourself, you're
still upset about what's going on, and still trying
to help save humanity from itself. That among
other things.

I'm not sure whether in the end, it's you or me who
is the better realist. I'm leaning towards it being
you, on the theory there's something worth saving
that can still be saved, and you see it, while I don't.

Assuming what's happening in the South China Sea
region doesn't get way out hand, there will be folks
who someday look back on these days between 1/6
and what likely happens next, then draw comparisons to
the "Sitzkrieg".

Is anyone even thinking about how possible it will become
for a foreign government to install a puppet government
that both sides are convinced is native.

Strange to think the best chance Biden has of pulling
off the glorious salvation of America might possibly
be granted to him by Beijing over-reach.

Just my 2 cents. It's humbling to realize it no longer
makes a practical difference even to me whether
I'm right or not.

Of course the right doesn't do goose gander
and better than the left.
They are both eachothers evil twins.

Of course I'm upset, I'm an emotional person anyway. I care about the usa.

But I think this huge split in America is more
imagined than real.
The radio talk show people among others
hammer at it day and night us versus them or America is doomed.

The left- never mind. You live there.

But I think it will all wash away. People gotta get tired of it.

Of course, there may come a terrible reckoning
for your utterly profligate ways.

Bets are off, theUSA.

China, s China sea? I dont have a clue.

There are some serious outstanding issues that
both sides feel passionate about.

The less substance there is, the better.

Go full bore after one sides guy and give your own a pass, that's not a good formula.

But its not my country, just saying how it loos from here.

The anti-Biden authoritarians scoured the Earth looking for evidence and found nothing. Zero. Zilch.

Some continue to try to gaslight people that there's something where there is nothing.

So be it.

And if there was evidence does anyone seriously think that they anyone would stand behind Biden? The Democrats at least learned from the Republican mistakes. Unfortunately the Republicans are very very slow learners.

China, s China sea? I don't have a clue.

I'll PM you when I can later on today. South China
Sea region and Korean Peninsula both, I've learned.
