Either Leahy is a round the clock boozer or he’s got a physical / mental problem that keeps him from speaking clearly and coherently.

I agree. The UniParty keeps pushing us every day. They are itching for CW2.

Don’t believe the gaslighting. The GOP Senators all want a Senate trial. The most rabid Never Trumpers want to stick another knife in POTUS and the rest want to put a 93-7 Senate vote to certify the stolen election farther in the rear view mirror. Support for Trump in a Senate trial is just the ticket to do that.

They just make up any rules for their show trials they want.

As long as the circus entertains the masses of idiots out there.

He has *already* been impeached. This is basically equivalent to being charged with a crime. The case now goes to the Senate to determine whether he’ll be convicted.

Not really. The impeachment article says President Donald John Trump. The impeachment (indictment) by the house is vacated as he is no longer President.

And the question is, can the Senate try a private citizen? The prohibition against bills of attainder would suggest, no.

It does because it concerns the President of the United States. So either the actual article of impeachment is vacated because Trump is no longer or he is the President and Roberts needs to be the Judge. Eitherway the article of impeachment is concerning POTUS or Former POTUS. They need to pick and decide but they cannot have him POTUS and NOT_POTUS.

You know what’s infuriating.
Senate Republicans are confirming Biden’s nominees left and right.
Yellen just got confirmed 85-15.
I bet even Kerry and Susan Rice will get confirmed easily.
This is a SICK joke

Not constitutional to do this

Leahy will be 81 in March 2021.

Biden turned 78 in November 2020.

Pelosi turns 81 in March 2021.

This is how they are spending the later years of their lives. A show trial on trumped-up (no pun intended) nonsense.

Simple question to ask - Does this article of Impeachment concern POTUS? If yes - then Roberts and only Roberts can preside. If not, then this is DOA as a bill of Attainder.

You would think at those ages you may want to get right with the Lord not with the evil one.

Patrick Leahy has been in the Senate since 1974—47 years. The first time I saw him on C-Span, I told myself, this guy has to be a Commie. You think this Commie would give Mr. President Trump a fair trial? No, we will witness a Soviet style show trial which were used used to eliminate opponents and intimidate the public. I hope this does not turn into a Soviet style purge with Trump being used as an example.
