Have these morons read the Constitution?

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.

Any republican who is not present would be lucky to be merely voted out of office. Do they really think there are already nine republicans who would vote for impeachment and that six more may join them - without even a criminal charge? I pray that we can avoid a second civil war, but atheist agitators from the Ctrl-Left are working to keep my prayers from coming true.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst and Shelby are all Democrats in R jerseys.

I think they can find the votes.

There may be enough Republican Senators who would love to vote Trump out of office...but at the expense of their own careers? So far there are no grounds for impeachment, let alone for conviction. Trump has condemned the violence in Charlottesville but not in the phrases that the New York Times thinks he should have used? That's grounds for overturning an election?

One of the ideas considered at the Constitutional Convention was to have impeachments tried by the Supreme Court. Not sure how that would have worked out in practice...with the current lineup of 4 leftists, 3 conservatives, and two squishy moderates, could Roberts and Kennedy be blackmailed or pressured into voting for conviction? Or could the left just kill or threaten to kill enough justices to get the desired result? Anyway that wasn't the method that made it into the Constitution.
