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

What a pick. Another diaper leaking ahole.

[Shady]

NO!

[basalt]

imagine that...even the judge gets to vote!!.....

[cowboyusa]

Illegal. The Constitution says the CJ must preside. Clear case at SCOTUS.

[Wizdum]

May as well burn up the rest of the Constitution while they are at it.

[Responsibility2nd]

Sure. Why not? If you’re going to have a phony baloney UNCONSTITUTIONAL Senate hearing without the Chief Justice, why not go all the way and make it even more illegal?

[gundog]

Awwww.. .I was hoping for Kammy.

[falcon99]

Making this already farce even more of a farce.

[Ebenezer]

Wait! Isn’t that the Chief Justice’s responsibility?

[ifinnegan]

More illegitimate crap.

They aren’t legitimate and do not represent the U.S.

Their lawless action shows they know it and don’t care.

[USCG SimTech]

from unconstitutional kangaroo court to full blown clown show.

[FlyingEagle]

Kangaroo Court. The US Constitution is very specific about Ch Justice presiding.

This is great. I hope the Senators get out some giant puppets and start rumbling around like Antifa during the “Trial”.

[Howie66]

Senator Depends, naturally.

[Sacajaweau]

Fake news...Sounds like Roberts said....Trial?? Preside???? Me?? Ain’t gonna happen.

[kosciusko51]

How is this constitutional?

[laweeks]

I thought his name was Leaky!

[cherry]

optics.....an old pale face....the old are always good and wise, yes?

[livius]

Roberts refused, believe it or not.

[rigelkentaurus]

Since the Constitution does not matter, no need for due process, no need to allow President Trump the ability to defend himself. Just call the Senate into session, the communists present their “evidence”, allow no defense, hold a simple vote with 51 votes enough to remove from office and banish him from the country!

[CatOwner]

Another battle we will watch and lose with ZERO pushback.
