“The Senate has the right to dismiss the charges of impeachment by a majority vote and refuse to hold a trial.”
I thought I read something somewhere that a group of GOP Senators had sent a letter to Lindsey Graham that this is what they wanted to do.
Since I can’t remember who, when, or where, and it’s not being reported on FR’s Side Bar, I’m likely wrong.
No, you’re right. A number of Republican senators want to vote to dismiss any charges that emanate from the House. McConnell, however, has said that if the House votes to impeach, the Senate will hold a trial.
“The Senate has the right to dismiss the charges of impeachment by a majority vote and refuse to hold a trial.”
If doable this is exactly what should be done!
Then have McConnell tell Pelosi, “You don’t like? Well take the Senate in 2020 and have the trial! In fact have your Senate Rat candidates run on that issue!”

The conclusion of the Democratic majority in the House is predetermined and does not rely on – or have any connection to – evidence. In other words, everything you see right now in Washington, related to impeachment, is merely a show. #ALSen
