Just heard a senator on Fox
tonight that stated 51 votes
were needed to change the rules.
.
They change change rules easily just like the Dems did.
People are going to be disappointed in the Senate. The Republicans primary concern are what the Senate Dems think.
.
They CAN change the rules easily, just like the Dems did in the House, on this very subject.
Dismiss it without Witnesses... Schumer recommended the same thing with Clinton.

Dismissing a case before the court without discussion or review is legitimate. But courts have to react to something that has been presented. They cannot act preemptively. Logically, a court cannot “dismiss” a case that does not exist.
Based on the Constitution and precedent, the House must send a delegation to the Senate to deliver a charges and begin a prosecution. There is no basis for the Senate refusing to receive such a delegation. Unless and until the House has delivered charges, no case exists, and Trump has not actually been impeached. In keeping with the times, what we have here is a “fake impeachment”.
