[Traitor] Burr, who split from Republican voters and sided with the Democrats, released a statement following his vote that contained an admission that he believes he violated the Constitution.

“When this process started, I believed that it was unconstitutional to impeach a president who was no longer in office. I still believe that to be the case. However, the Senate is an institution based on precedent, and given that the majority in the Senate voted to proceed with this trial, the question of constitutionality is now established precedent,” Burr’s statement said.

“Traitor] Burr, who split from Republican voters and sided with the Democrats...”

Keep in mind that Burr was the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee (and, therefore one of the “Gang of Eight”) all during the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax”. Curiously silent when Devin Nunes was putting his a$$ on the line.

Is he saying setting an illegal precedent overrides the Constitution?? Wow. Guessing he is definitely not upholding his oath.

These people really seem to believe that reality is whatever 51% of them deem it to be.
