The constitutionality of this impeachment should immediately be ruled on by the SCOTUS. If it is unconstitutional, as most legal scholars say it is, then stop it now. No, the senators would miss out on getting their 5 minutes of news time and photo ops.
Hi Russ -
And what if the Supreme Court rules it is constitutional, or that it doesn’t get there because presiding CJ Roberts rules while sitting in the Senate that impeachment can proceed?
Here was my theory on how the demonkkkraps might argue why the impeachment survives Trump’s exit:

On the other hand, Trump should have the due process opportunity to defend himself, and that is also a risk for the Senate. I am surprised there is no demonkkkrap chatter on this like there was that there was not way Monica was going to sully the hallowed Senate as a witness about sex with BJClinton.
Trump’s final speech would be on the Senate floor, the entire world will be watching, and they will be going down as he will point out quite strongly their hoax, fraud and corruption over 4 years. Expect them to deny him due process, as they and the courts have already done.
