It will either pass quickly or Trump and his lawyers will decide to drag some rancid meat through the swamp.
Hope it’s the latter. What a show that would be.
Interesting that the political betting site has 67+ votes for conviction at only 15% odds. It is infested with college libtards who skew the odds in that direction so not even the other side thinks the odds are great that Trump would get convicted.
About a week ago...some journalist noted that SCJ Roberts had made a private comment (I assume to McConnell/Schumer) that he had zero interest in being the sitting judge on this particular impeachment. No details were given but I suspect he knows it’ll drag up to be a case before the court within twelve months.
I think the Constitution says that the presiding official should be the Chief Justice. It doesn’t really say what happens if he counters them to say ‘no, I won’t do the job’.
They (the Democrats) might make up a rule out of thin air....bringing in some retired Senator or former federal judge to act in this capacity...but all it’d do is provide more problems in dumping the conviction if it went to the Supreme Court for review.
In simple terms....it just makes everything appear more like a government in Paraguay, than a legit government.
