Then the Senate has to get a hold of this as soon as possible.
Is a president entitled to a quick and speedy trial like average citizens?
( ren’t those both synonyms? I think I got the phrase wrong.)
I would really appreciate an answer to whether the dims could impeach and then hold up the trial in the Senate.
I really am hoping that they wouldn’t be able to do that.
Mr. Publius do you know?
I would seem that his 6th amendment rights would apply to a trial in the Senate, doesn't it?
I can see why some argue the "speedy trial" clause doesn't apply to an impeachment hearing in the House as criminal charges have not been made at that point.
But once the House votes to impeach they are actually leveling criminal charges at the impeached person and 6th amendment protections should apply.
That's my Humble Opinion!
But democrats are making the rules up as they go along and the Constitution be damned as far as they are concerned!

Such good thinkers here one and all. I heard Shifty Shift say something about holding the impeachment in the House and not sending to Senate a month ago. That’s what made me think they could do it.
I’m currently on IV in hospital to get rid of water retention. Kidneys not doing their job. Prayers appreciated.
