after that is a vote on whether to hear witnesses
**************
Another opportunity for Republicans to lose. They should have dismissed this outrageous travesty on day one.
This sham is damaging the country and our institutions of self-government. It is also running roughshod over our fundamental belief in innocent until proven guilty.
Yet the Republican senate is legitimizing this kangaroo court. They once again dodged their solemn responsibility to uphold our laws and preserve some semblance of integrity and confidence in our government.
The votes to dismiss the articles of impeachment weren’t there.
And the President’s Dream Team feels confident in being able to take apart the House Managers’ case.
The President wants, needs and deserves his day in court. Its called due process, stupid.
