It’s an illegitimate procedure regardless. Go shred the Constitution for toilet paper, and have done. Stop quibbling over moot points.
It is illegitimate with or with out him.
The constitution gives them no power to impeach a person who is not a sitting president.
Those Commierats really want a war. Don’t they?
These ghouls are creeping me out.
The operative word is “otiose.” An impeachment trial for an ex-president is empty of all meaning and value. The Constitution’s plain reading (and not a Pickwickian reading) is that the power of impeachment rests in Congress for the REMOVAL of a president. No President — no Removal.
A possible analogy is a decree of divorce after one spouse has died: no wife or husband, no divorce. It’s really that simple.
While the Constitution may allow you to disqualify a criminal from running again, it’s never been done to a president in our history and it is the stuff of dictatorships - especially when the president hasn’t committed a crime.
Democrats are out there saying “why n he might seek office again!” Where are the Republicans lined up to scream “Tyranny!”.
They’re talking about throwing red state Congressmen out as well.
All over a Constitutional vote challenge and one demonstration. We’re all to lose our jobs and be labeled domestic terrorists as well.
This is not a free America. Why the Hell aren’t Republicans saying it?
They all know they have a ripe turd on their hands they are looking for the proper way to dump it. Giving Trump a platform to defend himself would be a huge mistake and they know it. Even going after Trump via his businesses is a big mistake because he can play the victum. The Biden administration is already in full destruct mode. The first few days have been a disaster and it’s all downhill from here. They stole it, they can’t control it, protect your investments.
Has anyone considered the reason for the dogged push to impeach Trump is that if the truth is admitted, and the dems did steal the election, then Trump is actually still president? If he is still the prez, then that explains their eagerness to impeach him again.
I’m curious how many fake conservatives and RINOs vote for conviction
in this sham besides Romney.
Roberts helped murder JUSTICE SCALIA,
and is involved with the Maltese-German-Italian-Spanish-Serbian-Chinese
THEFT of the election,
and is reported involved with the murder of MANY children.
how does that make him a ‘chief justice’?
his involvement on Epstein Island
makes him a “Chef ‘justice’”.
Start Filing Ethics and Contempt Charges against Pelosi and gang, Make CRIMINAL REFERRAL’S to the DOJ for PERJURY AND FRAUD
To speak of congressional legitimacy is laughable.
I see one silver lining.
This impeachment consumes all the time and energy of the Senate.
The senate does not confirm sleepy joe’s nominees and his Presidency is frozen.
I will take those days off his clock since President Trump is innocent
Chief Justice Roberts can be impeached for circumventing the clarity of the Constitution on this matter.
Tooling for the Leftists would come back to bite him and haunt the SC, when he’s then sued by Trump.
McConnell has no comment.
McTurtle should be canned by a Kentucky recall, if not impeached himself, by the Senate.
No reason for a sham Chief justice to not preside over a sham impeachment.
This is a bill of attainder. Barred by the constitution.
Its illegitimate with Roberts. I would be surprised if Trump bothers to put on a defense. There’s nothing they can do to him. I’m looking to see 50% of these corrupt despicables gone by April.
So if Roberts does agree to preside does that make it legitimate?
I would argue that impeaching a private citizen is illegitimate. However I am not sure how the SC would rule on that issue because Roberts can’t be trusted.
