No. Roberts is more of a facilitator in this. He only makes a ruling when 51 or more Senators tell him to.

The argument isn’t to dismiss, but to exonerate - something a dismissal will not do...

An acquittal from a trial does not exonerate. Every day of an impeachment "trial" gives the Democrats more drama time to poison the 2020 elections in November.

A summary dismissal would put a stop to all that.

This impeachment does not include any charges of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that are defined by any laws of the United States. It is based on hostile opinions, fabrications, third-hand hearsay, and perjury. "Orange Man Bad" is essentially the justification.

Shut it down.

Arguments both ways have merit.

Since the Senate isn’t going to ask ME, (good!, cause I can’t decide), I’ll wait to see what Mitch and the boys (politically incorrect on purpose because the gender (grammar term) in English is understood to stand for BOTH (and YES there are only TWO) sexes, the masculine “man” as in hu”man”.

“2. a human being of EITHER sex; a person.

Agreed for the most part. Some differences. Mayor Pete IMHO would lose about 10% of black females. Which is probably why the DNC wouldn’t allow Mayor Pete.
