45 Senators vote "trial" is unconstitutional
Senator Rand Paul Twitter ^ | 01/26/2021 | Senator Rand Paul

Posted on 01/26/2021 12:39:13 PM PST by cll

Senator Rand Paul @RandPaul The Senate just voted on my constitutional point of order.

45 Senators agreed that this sham of a “trial” is unconstitutional.

That is more than will be needed to acquit and to eventually end this partisan impeachment process.

This “trial” is dead on arrival in the Senate. 4:26 PM · Jan 26, 2021·Twitter for iPhone

Who other than Mittens are the RINO senators who think it’s constitutional?

It’s a Bill of Attainder, prohibited by the Constitution. Congress lacks the power to have a trial of a private citizen.

I’m sure it will drag out painfully. However I’m hoping there is a way to short circuit this abomination before it even gets to the senate.

50 “Republicans” in the Senate. I presume there were no Democrats among the 45. So who were the 5 RINOs who said this kangaroo court is constitutional?

Would really like to see how each voted.

Putting a private citizen on trial in the Senate. Even Roberts could not twist the language enough to get on board with it, and we all know he wanted to.

The 5 are not named in his tweet. So, let me guess, Mittens, Murkowski, Collins, Sasse, Portman.
