It's a wonder Trump keeps going, with so much stacked against him.

Of course, their path is being smoothed by House and Senate Republicans, who could be much more active in opposition, but most of them probably wish Trump would be removed before THEIR corruption gets exposed.
Impeachment is a sole power of the House of Representatives, it is not a trial, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments don't apply.
The correct response is to demand a floor vote ASAP, not on the procedure, but on the underlying question.
As I posted here a few days ago, this process follows the Watergate playbook in every detail. The Democrats want to remove a President without the popular support to do so, so they have to create the support.
It's not 1973 any more, they can't use Walter Cronkite to tell the people what to think. But just like Watergate, there's a script, disclosures (leaks) are timed for a specific goal or purpose, and the plan is to build and build the case through gaslighting and leaks until people accept the POSSIBILITY of removal, followed by a "big reveal" at the end to bring "reluctant" GOP Senators on board.
It's completely obvious - and very dangerous.

The House holds this power but not the power to violate basic civil rights.
That can be argued by another lawyer(s) simultaneously,while others lawyers are dealing with other matters, that what is taking place is tantamount and equal to jury tampering ,being forcibly hauled in without being read ones Miranda Rights and that they need SCOTUS to review this as they hold that power of Judicial Review. And if an co equal branch Congress) will deny due process and Trump is powerless thaen a branch equal to Congress (SCOTUS) can intervene.
The argument is that Congress does not have infinite power on matters of Impeachment or they would be beyond a couple equal branch.
Very few saw Marbury vs. Madison coming and it was a first, there’s always a first for everything, so who knows what SCOTUS might do, and we can create another first for God and Country.
