If they use Dominian machines to tally the vote, Biden will be convicted!

It won’t be secret long. The dim party media will let us all know who voted for conviction. Heroes of the Politburo.

Except for the usual 3, More likely they all vote NOT to convict.

The GOP is a lost cause.
It is true that a three party system is unstable, but who says the “Patriot Party” is the third party? By my reckoning, it is the GOP that is the third party, and will be pinched out of the game.

Start the new party.

Bringing back the Star Chamber. Why not just have the Senators vote using DVS machines? That would do what the uniparty wants.

If they want a secret ballot then we’ll have to assume the worst of each one.

What? Not Mail in ballots?

How will there be 121 votes for impeachment vs 47 for acquittal without them?

This "secret ballot" idea seems to just be a bunch of lame-ass journalists and bleating idiots, like Robert Reich and Laurence Tribe, speaking of their fantasies.

They are fainting with horror that Liz Cheney got a slap on the wrist for her impeachment vote.

There will not be a secret ballot and nobody of any importance is actually going to move in that direction, though there are likely a few who share the dream.

“There is also talk that Republican senators may choose a secret ballot . . .”

Never heard of a secret ballot in Congress; unrecorded voice votes, yes.

This sounds like something Jim Hoft might write.

I read that it was the Dems who wanted a secret ballot.

I think this will go to the Supreme Court if they go ahead with this.

Even the lousy, weak and treacherous Justice Roberts has said he won’t preside over this essentially political trial.

You cannot make this stuff up.

They just did. This is leftist fantasy, not reality.

May Ask for a Secret Ballot...

No! Just use Dominion voting system which will show all 100 senators voted for impeachment. Wait, am I going to get sued for saying that? I take that back. Dominion is the greatest voting system ever! Yeah, that's the ticket.
