Sen. Patrick Leahy, President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate, is expected to preside over the upper chamber’s second impeachment trial of President Donald Trump — not U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts — according to CNN and NBC News

See tagline. Banana Republics can do what they want, can they not? If in fact we are under a new government, why should our new junta rulers follow the silly old constitution of the former government?
This guy is one of the most vile people on the planet. When Cheney was VP and their was a Senate picture being taken Leahy was being his typical vile self and Cheney told him to go F himself in front of the whole Senate and photographer.
Which means the Democrats want to bar Trump from running in the future.
Great precedent this will set. If the GOP gets control of the Senate, they can bar Biden from running for re-election also.
Will one Republican senator raise a point of order against this or the unconstitutional trial to “remove” a president form office who is not actually in office? The case is moot.
Leahy is 80 years old—forget term limits—nobody over fifty years old should be allowed to serve in any public office higher than dog catcher!
Where is the Chief Justice? This is his job. Has he resigned as Chief? Acting Chief Justice Clarence Thomas can preside instead.
Actually, the Repubs could bar the entire Democrat party from running if they had a spine.
Judge gets to vote twice!
Think of it as a Kangaroo Court in action.
Everyone knows that this whole impeachment scam is phony and illegitimate. Leaky Leahy is the perfect clown to preside over it. It will only accentuate the illegitimate nature of the whole charade.
The theory is he is now an Ex President so thus Roberts wouldn’t preside..
There is another theory- “relates back”
The theories are discussed in the Belknap issue.
What is this “Constitution” you speak of?—didn’t it get banned?...something about dead white slaveholders I think....
Leaky Leahy. One foot in the grave. As senile as Bidet.
Sounds fair. Lyin’ paddy leahy. Sure no bias there. Hey paddy.....🍴💩
Sorry, this makes this even more unconstitutional than it already is...
Senate Impeachment Trial must be presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court... You can’t substitute someone else... Sorry Dems...
Even more Banana Republic nonsense
No, Roberts has decided (quite properly, IMO) that as Trump is not a sitting President is is not appropriate for a Supreme Court Justice to preside over such an event.
Didn’t this guy get manhandled by the Joker and his goons in the Batman movie?
It’s not his job. Trump isn’t President.
This whole thing is a can of worms and opens up all kinds of Constitutional issues that can and will be debated on both sides
They couldn’t find anyone more biased against Trump? What a Kangaroo Trial.
