You can't arrest someone for being mentally ill. You can't even impeach them.

Glad another shitty week in America is over. What did we learn? You can't arrest someone for being mentally ill. You can't even impeach them.

1. You can impeach somebody for anything you like.

It is entirely a political process.

2. you can arrest them absolutely if a crime was committed then its up to the legal

system on what to do between institutionalizing or prison.

Impeachment can be done to any one subjected to impeachment, being crazy or not, for anything. Its a political tool for removal from office

3. Being mentally ill is not a crime. What they do might be a crime and they can be arrested.

5. Tell that to John Kasich

The press appears to be hailing him today as a tough talking Republican who is prepared to take small common sense steps. But when I heard him saying one of his solutions is to give law enforcement the authority to arrest the mentally ill all I could think was "Uh-oh." That would open the door for authorities (I.e., the political party in power) to declare their political opponents as mentally ill and arrest them. That so called solution is a recipe for guaranteeing authoritarian rule.

Kasich may appear to be disagreeing with Trump, but he is endorsing a measure that Putin would approve of.

4. Dump has enuff crimes in his past to be arrested and imprisoned.
