Trump Impeachment ‘Political Theater,’ Ignores US History: Constitutional Lawyer
The Epoch Times ^ | February 11, 2021 | Isabel van Brugen and Jan Jekielek

The impeachment effort against former President ( Donald Trump) is “political theater” that goes against the history of the United States and the American Constitution itself, according to constitutional attorney Rick Green.

“When we have political actors involved, we get political theater. And that’s a lot of what we’re getting here. Is this the judiciary now? Is the Senate now the judiciary that will try any citizen? Because an impeachment is specifically for someone that is in office, according to the American Constitution,” Green, a former Texas state representative and co-founder of the Patriot Academy, told “American Thought Leaders.”

Trump’s attorneys have stated that it goes against the Constitution to impeach or try a former office-holder.

[snip]House Democrats, joined by 10 Republicans, voted on Jan. 13 to approve a single (article of impeachment (pdf)) against Trump for” “incitement of insurrection, making him the first president to be impeached twice. On Feb. 9, he became the first former president to stand trial.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS:
“incitement of insurrection" has already been proven to be false...the "insurrection" was a set up with the MSM leading the way in fake news. Nancy Pelosi should be the person being impeached/removed...she is not doing her job by ruining former President Trump for a personal hate and it is hurting America politically and monetarily,

Pelosi's state of California "California just lost $10 billion in overpayments or fraudulent payments to COVID. recipients. Nobody knows why or how that happened. Nobody’s talking about that"

I agree. But they are also motivated by irrational, satanic, hatred and spite.

Of course they ignore history, and they either twist the Constitution to fit their narrative, or ignore it totally. As well, Democrats always change the rules to get the end result they want. Then, when that same rule comes back to bite them in the ass, they cry that the rule is unfair, and want to change it again. But those days are over now. The Democrats will be able to change all the rules they want, and will never have to fear their own rules being used against them. With unlimited voter fraud now being the law of the land, there will never be a Republican majority in either House again, and no Republican will ever sit in the White House. Democrats will have unlimited power to do whatever they want, to anyone they want, and the majority of the Republicans in Congress are fine with that. The party sealed its fate on January 6th, and I hope they all go down in flames, and the GOP ceases to exist.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

We have congressmen, who are paid by US Taxpayers, putting on a show?

Is that what they are paid to do?

This makes a mockery of our whole justice system.

Justice Roberts needs to walk in and tell them to knock it off.

Otherwise, stop paying judges and lawyers.

Anybody can have a court for anything.

a YES vote:
“I vote to remove from office a person who does not hold any office.”

a NO vote:
“I vote to leave in office a person who does not hold any office.”
