It’s a Bill of Attainder. The legislature is trying to pass a bill to punish a citizen who has displeased them.

They’re not supposed to do that.

The Constitution is explicit: If you want an impeachment trial, the Chief Justice shall preside.

That ain’t happening, so this is not an impeachment trial. It’s just tyranny to crush Republican hopes for the future. The GOP is fine with that.

In full, not just in part.
The USA has become a Humpty-Dumpty Republic.
