Folks: Constitutional law questions related to when a President may be impeached are of course entirely on-topic for this list. But I think that once the discussions starts focusing on purely factual questions related to international events, then it seems to me that it's no longer within list members' primary expertise. (The same, of course, goes for factual issues underlying a wide variety of other constitutional topics, such as the developmental stage of fetuses, or the practical issues underlying whether certain gun controls are effective, or economic questions related to the effectiveness of various tax policies.)
So let me suggest again a rule of thumb: If a post is tied pretty directly to a constitutional question, please include some language in the post that indeed does so. On the other hand, if you find that the language seems forced and not really well-connected to the post, then that might be a signal that the post is best handled off-list, or on some other list. Thanks, Eugene
