I think this is how it's gonna go down. As has been debated constantly, if impeachment is purely a political process, then - as we have seen - the courts are unable to issue an injunction over lack of due process.

However, since the Senate is in effect the judiciary for purposes of a political trial, then they become the substitute and can therefore intervene as would any judge under normal criminal/civil procedures.

By simply refusing to accept the articles, the Senate in effect would be issuing its own form of injunction.

Agreed. Whomever is floating this is STOOOOOPID.

They need to give Trump a stage to rebut Dem treachery.
They need to drag this out to remind voters how utterly
absurd the Dems have been. They need to keep Bernie,
Fauxahontas & Co. tied to their desks all Summer.

The pattern is there, say you’re gonna expose the Truth, and then run from it, and do nothing.

Encourage the Never Trump IG’s to solicit more Complaints about Trump, with no downside.

No

Grill the crap out of every dim "witness brought up before them, but I agree .... do not offer "defense" witnesses ..... at all.

After opening statements, "We submit for the record, THE record of President Donsald Trump" .... And drop a couple of TONS of paper on the floor for the dims to accept and read

What's to defend ?

Who needs defending ?

When it's all said and done, the dims will be wailing and bawling in front of the camera's after every trial day and state, "See ? ... Those Republicans are guilty and they know it, so they're not taking a chance on being exposed by (our) truth!"

And the trial will end in a few days.

The vote will be taken after a very clear explanation in the closing argument, that there is nothing else to be said about President Trump.

EVERYONE in America has been following this for the last two months and have already made up their minds .... nothing said by a dim or a Republican will sway anyone any more than their own consciences and conversations with friends.

He'll be found not guilty and the process will have shown America and especially the dims .... they have all been neutered .... they have no power, nor say in any matter except to vote.

Sit down, shut up and vote.

We adults will take it from here.

Either: send it directly back to the House with the statement that there was no due process - try again; or call witnesses and make very clear what was going on there. Don’t half-ass it.

The Senate RINOS cannot risk exposing Burr and McCain's ghost in an actual trial.

A Special Counsel would be the best way to deal with Schiff-head and the Pizzle-blower.

LINDSEY GRAHAM is floating it.

He said on a Sunday show, let’s the Dems have every witness testify to their content, and then Vote.

Mighty F’ing Convenient!

.....” I’m not convinced of anything right now. And I don’t say that lightly”.....

We’re in the risk zone now, either or could backfire for various reasons. But it would take the air out of the Dems ride of Impeachment throughout this next election year. They’ll try to keep it alive but it would be dead in the water.

They have the Option of dismissing it outright, but Romney, Rubio, Burr, Collins, Sasse, Ernst, want it all aired.

But, no Trump witnesses.

Welcome to the GOP RINOs.

Yes...ALL the rest of the critters can be dealt with without it being exposed further in this Impeachment....in fact already in process.

What? And give up all the free coverage on CNN, MSNBC and in the DailyKOS? Those leftist outlet would have to cover it. The Republicans need to spend days or weeks cross-examining Hunter and Joe Biden, the whistle-blower and all of his friends on the House Intelligence Committee staff, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi and anybody else they can embarrass.

Rhinos don’t rule as they once did.....the holdouts are always just looking for the highest payoff....quid pro quo time after time.

The leftist media will never cover it as it is, they’ll do as they always do and spin everything to the lefts advantage even when it’s absolutely clear otherwise.

Unless the public is sick of all this and just wants it to end. If that’s the case and the GOP does some drawn out trail, Republicans may get blamed too for wasting time.

The real criminals involved are the Clinton’s, who ran everything in Ukraine, and made far more money (min $25 million), in the Ukraine, and used Russian poc’s in Ukraine, as well as false Kremlin derived dossier information to kick off multiple kick off FISA, and many other “unmasking”.
