I guess that means he has no right to defend himself, even against false and egregious accusations.
Some Justice she is.

Typical left wing article. How does her statement that trump is not a lawyer in anyway shoot down his complaints about the impeachment process? Would anyone suggest that a president should not oppose his own impeachmRVent?

Ruthie, the Constitution belongs to all of us — not just the lawyers. Sometimes lawyers & justices need to be reminded.

You are Ruthie and it is an indelible stain on you that your willing to put your political ideology in front of DUE PROCESS and THE RULE OF LAW.

Neither was Reagan or Washington - Trump, Reagan, and Washington - three of the greatest Presidents ever.
You don’t have to be a lawyer to be constitutionally correct. You only have to be a lawyer to be politically correct.
