opposing the impeachment of a corrupt president in order to weaken the president's party in an upcoming election
There are many reasons why George W Bush deserved to be impeached, his outrageous abuses of power,illegal warrantless wire taps (some of these were U.S. soldiers in Iraq calling home to their families), extraordinary renditions, torturing P.O.W.s etc. In the 2006 election voters soundly rejected the radical Bush agenda, but when Nancy Pelosi became Speaker Of The House she said impeachment was off the table. Keeping Bush in office severely weakened the Republican party and helped the Democrats win the White House and gain seats in Congress in the 2008 election. This is the Pelosi Doctrine.

Get the Dontrell mug.A doctress is a female doctor. It is an old word that is no longer used because of the general movement in the English language to be gender-neutral in specifying professions. This is akin to actress vs. actor (although more women prefer actor now)
He went to Doctress Johnson after getting injured while plowing the west garden. Doctress Johnson's husband is also a doctor.

Get the Dotardess mug.Also known as "zerging", the Brannigan Doctrine is named for the eponymous Zap Brannigan, who threw "wave after wave" of his own men until the kill bots reached their natural kill limit and shut down.
The Brannigan Doctrine is a staple feature of Russian military "strategy", which appears to consist of throwing "wave after wave" of conscripts at smaller nations only to suffer humiliating casualties at the hands of technically inferior militaries. First seen in the Russo-Finnish war of 1939-40, and then again in the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Get the The Brannigan Doctrine mug.The term "Castle Doctrine" is used when describing law that primarily relates to the use of deadly force in situations of self defence. In simple english, it is the idea that a persons home is their castle and that any unlawfull intrution is considered a threat. The homeowner is then legaly justified in using lethal force against the intruder.
The opposite of Castle Doctrine is "Duty to Retreat" A simple example would be a person walking down a street at night who is confronted by an assailant. Legaly, the victim must try to escape or "retreat" before resorting to lethal force. But if retreat is impossible, then the person is justified in using lethal force.
Castle Doctrine originaly only applied to a persons home. However, in modern times it has been applied in different laws to mean a persons property, not just inside the home. A pesons car is also defined as a part of the home. Thus a carjacking victim is justified in shooting their assailant. Some states apply a persons place of employment to fall under Castle Doctrine.
Castle Doctrine also makes it next to impossible for an assailant (Or their family) to sue their victim after the fact.
