Wrong!. The rules of impeachment thru to the Senate are decided by whomever is in control of the Congressional Chambers. We saw this clearly in the House, didn’t we? Nadler and Schiff simply did what they wanted under their own interpretation of the rules. Why in the world would you think McConnell would allow the Democrats to usurp his power as the head of the Senate?

I think maybe your tin foil hat is a bit snug.

“...The only obligations left to them [the House] are to notify the Senate of their conclusions, name managers of the process, and allow the Republican-led chamber to reach a verdict...”

EXCUSE ME???

“ALLOW” the Republican-led chamber (Senate)???

What has happened to journalism?

This article is FAKE. It’s WRONG! It’s author is IGNORANT.

Federalist #65 - Alexander Hamilton

Regarding Pelosi's requirement for "fairness" and Ginsburg's claim of partisanship:


A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. The prosecution of them, for this reason, will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused. In many cases it will connect itself with the pre-existing factions, and will enlist all their animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or on the other; and in such cases there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt.

The delicacy and magnitude of a trust which so deeply concerns the political reputation and existence of every man engaged in the administration of public affairs, speak for themselves. The difficulty of placing it rightly, in a government resting entirely on the basis of periodical elections, will as readily be perceived, when it is considered that the most conspicuous characters in it will, from that circumstance, be too often the leaders or the tools of the most cunning or the most numerous faction, and on this account, can hardly be expected to possess the requisite neutrality towards those whose conduct may be the subject of scrutiny.

However, the Senators running for President can not claim impartiality as jurors against a political rival

Warren Sanders Klobuchar Booker Bennett

Should all recuse

This sedition and traitorous behavior is getting to be too much. Arrest each of these bums-on-taxpayers’-teat losers. Give them a speedy trial. If guilty, seize their assets and the assets of their immediate criminal families and exile them for the rest of their malignant , worthless, acerbic lives. Enough already!

I never got the idea Pelosi wanted to impeach President Trump. She did it to keep control of her Party which is increasingly getting more radical.

She is weak, but as insane as most in her party.

Pelosi could keep the impeachment articles hanging over the next election and threaten a Democrat Senate to carry it through after the presidential election.

What does she have to lose in taking the chance of getting a Dem. majority Senate and dispatching the President after the election if he wins? She does not seem worried about the public’s approval as she has nearly half of the country behind her, plus all the illegals and dead people who will vote for Dems.

Some people might avoid voting for Trump if there’s a chance of him being thrown out of office.

How many FBI files, FISA wiretaps, and other blackmailing tools do you think the dems/deep state have on all 100 senators? They rigged the house against Trump and soon they will have a rigged senate.They only need 4 votes. They already have Roberts in their pocket.
My oint is that they may not remove Trump, but can certainly use the senate as a year long anti trump campaign commercial.

I’m not into conspiracy like so many here are. If the “deep State” had those “secret intel dirt files” so many think they have I am sure at least ONE of those allegedly compromised would have gone public or if not him than a Senator with nothing of consequence in his past would have done so.

Very few people (relative to the huge numbers of people in the country actually have things in their past which would compromise them in public office. Moral standards are so lax now that what used to be a career ender in the past would be a career enhancer today. Things such as homosexuality, drugs, dui and the like are shrugged off today.

Things have changed bigly. I recall when being divorced would kill a political career.
