Mitch wants time to make sure Trump doesn’t start the Patriot Party.

Impeachment is POLITICAL Action. It has no authority in the Criminal System. Anyone who poses else is blustering!

It’s unconstitutional.

“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”

Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, U.S. Constitution.

Congress lost the power to impeach once Trump left office.

Totally up to the Senate. They have done so in the past.

mcconnell wants to get all biden’s appointments through at lightning speed. Remember mcconnell dragged his feet on Trump appointments to the degree that some never got a vote. mcconnell also never put the senate in recess so Trump could make recess appointments, never once. I believe that is the first time in history that POTUS did not get at least one opportunity to make recess appointments, especially with his own party in power.

A better question is, ‘Is it even Constitutional?’

Oh, never mind! With SCOTUS Chief Just Us ‘Go with the flow, make no waves’ Roberts, what need is there for ‘Constitutionality’?

No. Mitch is trying to unconstitutionally purge a private citizen from running for office again.

Bill of attainder at this point. Trump no longer holds office, so they have no jurisdiction. And the penalty of not being able to hold office again applies only to appointees, not elected officials.

It's astounding that there are so many DC miscreants whose necks yearn for the noose.
