Why not impeach Romney? Impeachment is entirely a political tool now anyway. It’s probably better to focus on impeaching Kamala, who encouraged violence by working to bail out left-wing criminals, and Old Joe for selling out the US though.

“Why proceed?”

It’s a show trial for political purposes—you know, like the ones Stalin used to hold.

I voted for the turkey in the 2012 general. And I really regret it. You know, the media slapped him around as a phony and an opportunist... and even a high-school bully. And I figured that the attacks were just the Democrat-Media machine doing its thing, and to large extent that was true, but I see now that the criticism were largely accurate. If anything, Mittens is probably even more of crapweasel than they made him out to be. Not that Barry Obama was better and I’d certainly never vote for him, but I wish hadn’t voted at all.

People are looking to the wrong corner to “fix” the problem with the election theft.

It needed to be handled at the state legislator level. They did nothing. Then people wanted Mike Pence to save the day and punt back to the legislators.

That wasn’t happening either.

Senator Rand Paul is one of the few voices standing up to get to the bottom of Election Theft 2020.

“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.”

They have enough RINOs for a quorum and thus enough votes to convict if the 45 who voted it unconstitutional don't show up.

So Schumer needs to buy 12 votes, or persuade 18 Republicans to absent themselves from when the vote is taken. He needs 67 votes if everyone votes, but it is 2/3rds of those voting. Some Republicans willing to leave public office could retire rich.

Romney is FIXATED on going after POTUS, and still doing it,
and backstabbing him as well,
so you are wrong.

RAT Romney IS guilty of all that and PROTECTING those
criminals.

In Mass. Romney got CAUGHT making up fake badges.
Fake LEO badges. Going to defend your RAT for that, too?

I voted for McCain AND Romney, knowing full well that I was voting for Democrat Lite over Obama. But this past election has shown so much light on everything.

Motion to table was opposed by 5 GOP. Collins, Romney, Murkowski, Sasse, Toomey.

Every Trump voter -- especially those on this very board -- MUST pull out all the stops when these dips come up for election. Primary the hell out of them. Donate heavily to their opponents, and if they make it past the primary to the general --

VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT RUNNING AGAINST THEM.

This is war...

There is no provision in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights for the impeachment trial of a private citizen. There is also no way an impeachment trial can take place without the Supreme Court Chief Justice prsiding. My suggestion is that all Republican Senators boycott the trial and let the democrats explain why they are holding an illegitimate Impeachment Trial without the Chief Justice. Then see how they enforce the outcome of that trial.

Know this, if the GOP Senators didn’t have to worry about re-election l’ll bet 30 would vote with the rats maybe more.

Let's correct the headline:

45 55 Senators vote that this ludicrously unconstitutional "trial" is unconstitutional, including 5 "Republicans"

If they get a “quorum” of only Dems plus Mitt etc, it will be a joke and blowback on them.

Toomey is looking for Wall St. mega-bucks. Total fraud, as are the other 54.
