Thanks, ramdatt!

THBT: DEVIN NUNES is GOD's GIFT to the CIVIL COURTROOM

PRO has forfeited the opening round, forcing CON to define the term of this debate

DEFINITIONS:

DEVIN NUNES is the U.S. Representative for California's 22nd congressional district, Trump stooge, and ranking minority-party member of the House Intelligence Committee during the 2019 impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump while corruptly failing to disclose his presence in some of the meetings and on some of the  phone calls under investigation. 

GOD is "conceived of as the supreme being, creator deity, and principal object of faith.  God is usually conceived as being omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (all-present) and as having an eternal and necessary existence.  God is most often held to be incorporeal (immaterial).
In agnosticism, the existence of God is deemed unknown or unknowable.  Many notable philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God"

GIFT is "something given to another voluntarily, without charge"

CIVIL COURT is "a court dealing with cases in civil law"


BURDEN of PROOF:

Wikipedia advises:

"When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim especially when it challenges a perceived status quo."

CON interprets the resolution to mean that PRO must prove that God has voluntarily offered Nunes to some civil court

ARG 1.1  PRO MUST PROVE GOD EXITS

ARG 1.2  PRO MUST CREDIBLY ESTABLISH KNOWLEDGE/INSIGHT INTO GOD's INTENTIONS REGARDING NUNES and SOME CIVIL COURT(S) SOMEWHERE

CONCLUSION

Since CON expects that PRO will be unwilling or unable to prove GOD, PRO's thesis must fail

CON looks forward to PRO's R2 reply

Devin Nunes is really a child who needs attention from his mommy.

Too bad he has become a burden on society.
