As Democrats plunge ahead with a post-term impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, a key question remains: Will Chief Justice Roberts take the case?
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says he won’t — making the exercise “a fake, partisan impeachment,” the lawmaker told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Friday.
Paul claimed Roberts has “privately said he’s not supposed to come unless it’s an impeachment of the president.”

Good. The sheeple need to see more of what a nasty bitch Obamala Harris can be.
Good example and evidence thank you.
Constitution says, “When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.
The plain meaning of *THE* president can’t possibly include former presidents.
Here’s the text:
“The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.”
I wouldn’t trust the traitor John Roberts if he told me the sky is blue. He is seriously compromised and should be thrown off the bench.
Well, except for the niggling fact that they violated the Constitution a half dozen doing it, so it’s not really actual impeachment in the first place, just some null and void Democrat bit of mental masturbation.
Which is EXACTLY what the communists want!
Anyone who believes the constitution or law is a limitation on the communists is a moron.
Now they will use Congress' new power to impeach and try anyone who held an Office of the United States and now wants to run for President.
-PJ
Then they got CBS to fake a National Guard memo about service.
Then they got Buzzfeed to publish the Steele Dossier.
Some of that did not work, so they now hope to use a partisan vote to disqualify candidates from seeking higher office.
Where was all this "concern" when Ted Kennedy drowned a woman, lied about it for 3 days and then confessed to his drunken cheating before running for POTUS?
Yes, Teddy was a loyal communist and was exempt from any "standards" of holding office.
These assholes are terrified of Trump
And us.
I absolutely loathe the Republican Party with a. Few exceptions
I mean they are worse than the Dems by a mile
I think Beria ....or maybe Heydrich
Someone familiar with treachery and killing
Kill traitors first....
The Press says that Joe Biden is now the President. I read somewhere that a congressman is filing impeachment charges against Joe Biden. Will the Chief Justice hear that one?
Quisling, absolutely perfect word to describe that POS.
Yes, Senators are eligible for impeachment.
Ridiculous 14th amendment argument in this article by some dem operative.
Office is denied to anyone who has engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the constitution. Giving a speech and encouraging a peaceful protest against a fraudulent election isn’t even close to the definition of insurrection or rebellion.
Moreover, there is no such finding in any court of law or on any signed receipt of amnesty paperwork on which it could be based.
I’m referring to republicans in office not working against HR1, the pipeline, men competing against women in sports due to transgender rights, , etc
Roberts cannot be there. It specifically states he presides only over a senate trial of the president. Trump is not the president.
What? He’s not afraid of riots suddenly?
At this point, what difference does it make? Chief Justice Sh!t of Chicken Ostrich of The United States has buckled to the mobs. Why not just have a mobster preside. Commie is unfit for any legitimate public office, but she can lead a mob.
