The Senate voted Tuesday to move ahead with the unprecedented impeachment trial of former President Trump after listening to hours of arguments on whether it is constitutional to try a president who is already out of office.

The vote was 56-44.

Trump's legal team said the trial is unconstitutional because he's no longer in office and can't face removal, which is the standard judgment of an impeachment conviction.

The vote was 56-44.


The vote to certify the stolen election was 93-7. Never forget. Never forgive.

On January 20,2021 when Joe Biden. the Thief in Chief desecrated the Holy Word of God be placing his hand upon a copy of the Sacred and Holy Word of God and deliberately lying and taking the Name of God in vain the Constitution became null. It now exists only as a piece of parchment. Thanks to the Republican Party. Aided and abetted by the media, the general public refuses to acknowledge now that a theft actually took place.

What this means, loud and clear, is that there is no rule of law anymore.

The law is what the democrats say it is. If they don’t like a particular law, they just ignore that law.

Hypocrisy doesn’t mean anything either. It has no consequences; they don’t care and their base doesn’t care; they just want to exercise naked power.

The bitter fruit of relativism.

The Federal government is un-Constitutional. I don’t need anyone’s vote on that either.

The US Senate can vote a ham sandwich is Constitutional, that doesn’t mean it is...

How does the legislative branch decide something is Constitutional, according to the Constitution? Is that their role?

The whole point of separation of powers is that the Legislative Branch doesn’t get to decide whether something is Constitutional or not. SCOTUS does that, and Roberts’ declining to officiate over this kangaroo court said it all.

Yes yes... I’ve heard the flimsy rationale’s already and they give tingles up Chrissy Wallace’ leg.

It’s still BS.

The vote by the Senate was unconstitutional. Only the Supreme Court can decide whether or not it’s constitutional.

You are right. Any election held from this point forward will be Soviet type that were held by Stalin. Only Democrats will be allowed to run. Only Democrat votes will count. The Republican Party helped the Democrats steal this election The Republican Party will help the Democrats steal the next election.

The GOP is not salvageable...

They committed suicide by allowing an election to be flagrantly stolen, and continue to show how useless and unworthy and our of touch they are.

When given the opportunity to vote in secret 3/4 support Cheney to stay in leadership... if they could vote privately far more than these 6 would have betrayed. They are done..

Votes no longer matter... and when votes don’t matter the next stage is billets...

We are now living in that moment in between.. and how long it will last, I do not know, but that is where we are.
