So a couple questions....
Was it gas pains?
I thought the Chief Justice must preside, according to the constitution?
Why would Roberts not want to be a part of this circus?
Does that make this hearing legal?
The MSM has massaged this fact and won’t talk about it too much because it would expose this charade as unconstitutional. Basically Robert’s has said that impeachment is a political remedy for office holders and Donald Trump is not an office holder any longer. The RAT’s are clinging to some flimsy example from the 1800’s that happened to one guy that ultimately didn’t result in any penalties.
I have to think Trumps team would first file somewhere that the House and Senate can’t convict a private citizen.
The President is not on trial. Roberts declined.
