Impeachment is not a legal procedure. It is political. Besides, don’t have to be a lawyer to see this is a kangaroo court / show trial / coup to railroad Trump out of office.

So, if you are being railroaded by our Legal System you are not allowed to protest unless you are a Lawyer?

In my best Johnny Carson, I did not know that.

RBG would have made a great Nazi Judge.

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shut down President Donald Trump's attempts..."

Uh, sorry Ruthie. You didn't 'shut him down', you merely shot your mouth off. See if he stops tweeting, twit!

I would also point out that the law, as intended by the original statesmen and framers, was meant to be understandable and practiced by EVERYONE. Understanding of the laws and participating in the process necessary for a free state.

That Ginsberg has to screech “he’s not a lawyer” shows that she doesn’t really understand the concept of law and more the concept of power.
