Impeachment blatantly is for removal from office when you’re out of office you can’t be impeached. If this where constitutional then congress can basically impeach any private citizen they want

Aren’t we lucky that those lawyer guys go to school for so many years, so that they all know so clearly what the law means?

Why don’t they impeach Bill Clinton?

I believe he’s still alive.

The Demon-crats and RINOs don’t care about the Constitution. They believe they have unlimited power.

If the House did something that is unconstitutional those reps should be recalled! Their oath of office is a joke! Words that are meaningless

That’s the voters job.
Most voters can’t spell Constitution, have never read any of it. I have no knowledge of or understanding of what it says.

There they were getting ready to present all the evidence of election fraud. The one Senator needed to begin the debate announces himself - and then all hell breaks loose.

What does Pence do? Instead of consulting the rules in the Constitution he asks the parliamentarian how to proceed.

Yeah, Our Founders believed that if you don't like what they wrote in the Constitution, you just consult Robert's Rules of Order.

Right?

No luck about it.

Consider how many lawyers are demonkkkrap members of Congress. Do they not know the law and can call off the snarling non-lawyer demonkkkrap members? Little secret.

They were taught in law school how to look at words and come up with unique and novel arguments, no matter how bad the case, no matter how illogical, to “stretch” the law into areas not contemplated by statutory intent or constitutional meaning. That’s why the left support the “living-breathing Constitution” approach, change the meaning of words, etc. Ends justifies the means. They only take a strict constructionist position when it blocks their political opposition from undermining the left. Judges and justices learned the same.

Dershowitz: Trump Post-Presidential Impeachment ‘Plainly Unconstitutional’

Since when did Pelosi and Schumer and most democrats care about the constitution?

They only mention the constitution as a cover for what they will do to violate the constitution.

Example: now they're talking about reigning in free speech through a congressional commission. That's clearly unconstitutional, but, again, they never cared about the constitution, and their only mission is to make the constitution "unconstitutional". IOW, eliminate the constitution, since it's the constitution that enables republicans and prevents democrats from achieving their goals, especially their attempts to turn the country into a socialist nation.

But then, when it came to a vote on the merits, they lost because 27 or so senators voted that they did not have jurisdiction.,

That part also seems to be left out by those referencing the 1876 precedent.

I know all that. It just cracks me up how often I hear that someone shouldn’t comment because he or she is not a lawyer - as if being one means the opinion presented is sacrosanct.

In post-constitutional America they know that they don't need us anymore. As long as they play their role as pretend opposition their dem master will pat them on the head and pull the election lever to allow just enough of them to keep their cushy jobs to make it look like we aren't run by a single party politburo. For now. As Churchill said, feeding your friends to the crocodile hoping it will eat you last is a poor plan.

Dershowitz may be a liberal but when it comes to the law he seems to be a straight shooter. Refreshing.

“They were taught in law school how to look at words and come up with unique and novel arguments”

That is a bug/feature of the relatively new English language. Older languages have fewer words and expressions with ambiguous interpretations.
