    The use of the word “charged” here is willfully dishonest.

      do elaborate

      In criminal cases, a charge is a formal accusation of criminal activity

        It’s a civil case.

        A civil case is a private, non-criminal lawsuit, usually involving private property rights, including respecting rights stated under the Constitution or under federal or state law.

        Which is also why it’s doomed to fail.

          Wait, genocide charges in a civil court? What are they even trying to accomplish? I’m certainly not a lawyer, but that doesn’t sound like it makes much sense.

            As far as I know there’s no way for members of the public to criminally charge the president under US system. What this accomplishes is drawing attention to the fact that Biden is complicit in a genocide.

          Obviously it’s doomed to fail, war criminals have never held to account in a totalitarian dictatorship like the US.

              If you disagree with my assessment, then perhaps you could provide an example of a US official being held accountable for the atrocities US commits.

                But we’re discussing your disagreement with my assessment that “charge” is willfully dishonest.

                  There’s no disagreement, it’s obvious that your assessment is sophistry meant to distract from the actual point being made. Nobody is falling for it.

                    What’s obvious is that my assessment is probably correct. The lawsuit will fail because the “actual point being made” is not a legal point but a political one. And certainly not a criminal point.
