That’s because Roberts knows it’s unconstitutional.
The Senate cannot impeach a private citizen.
Sham trial for a sham election.
Non legal. Illegitimate.
Insane.
[Senate President Pro Tempore, Pat Leahy (VT) will preside over the sham trial instead.]
No doubt choco rations are going up.
Double-plus good, eh?
Leahy is as brain dead as demented joe.
Leahy CANNOT Constitutionally preside over such a “trial” there is NOTHING for this incompetent to be positioned as such, inasmuch as there is no Constitutional provision for it— and 2.) he is a demonrat, a politically unsound non-impartial “judge” of the proceedings. He cannot perform this function.
The Republicans should walk out- as should any remaining democrats who do not want the wrath of the public on them in a manner they cannot conceive.
Leahy? Last time we saw him he could barely talk, was wildly confused and an embarrassment to this country. So what do the DEMS do? They trot him out again.
The bogosity of our government keeps going up.
I guess Democrats want to set the precedent that we can impeach them and have a Republican Senator be judge of the proceedings next time.
He told himself. There is no role for him here in the Constitution, as we are now impeaching a private person. And it makes this “impeachment” a Soviet style show trial.
Next we can impeach Roosevelt for interning the Japanese, and Obama for stating the Russia collusion hoax.
The constitution is very clear on this one but the dems don’t care. Again, will the lurking fbi folks get the significance of this?
WHAT A BUNCH OF CLOWNS!
What irony— LEAKY Pat Leahy— who can NEVER be on the Senate Intel Committee— and yet he will be presiding over things the dem intel committee’s have orchestrated in yet another FAKE non-Constitutional impeachment, which is ALL they ever have had. Plus he is a drooling incompetent not much longer for this world than his friend JoeBama— both of them frauds.
The “other” Senator from Vermont aside from Marxist Bernie. What a farce.
Last Rasmussen pole had Trump at 52% positive and Biden at 48%. After this mockery of a “trial”, I expect Trump to gain more and Biden to continue to descend into the basement, where he belongs.
Perpetually Drunk Patrick Leahy , saw this on The Liberty Daily ,LOL
Dershowitz said Roberts only presides over presidents and since Trump isn’t president (in their minds) then he won’t preside over this.
Can Trump’s legal team dump the mother lode of election fraud evidence during the ‘trial’? Praying for the Divine boomerang effect upon them All.
He got a visit. FBI?
When is Trump’s lawyer going to speak up about this sham of an impeachment? At least it’s not Rudy holding court this time.
