The Constitution is the FINAL word. Amend it if you wish, good luck, Democrats.
Remember how the childish and ignorant Democrats referred to George Bush as “President Select”? They acted like wet babies when the Supreme Court ended their obvious attempt to steal the 2000 presidential election. Ask Chad, Hanging Chad that is.
The hell with them, and who cares that they cry and squeal. Either we uphold and enforce the Constitution, or we don’t. If we don’t, it will surely be a very dark day, and all the days ahead.
Each house can structure it’s own rules per Article 1 Section 5
“Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings....”
Recusal would only be necessitated if they were Republican senators.
Seriously, you do make a very interesting point. In fact, how can they vote on impeachment at all when they are so obviously conflicted?
Only in corrupt DC where they do whatever they want.
Good point.
Normally, in a REAL trial, the defense team can ask THE JUDGE to dismiss the charges, with prejudice, and if granted, the jury never gets to do anything but go home, and the prosecution never gets to bring charges for the same issue again.
Of course, this isn’t a REAL trial, just a fake one setup by the Deep State with their willing accomplishes in the Senate from BOTH parties.
Absolutely right...but they won’t.
“””””””Have you considered that DJT wants Bolton to testify?
Trumps legal team would rip him apart.”””””””””””””
I’m an uneducated deplorable and I could destroy his story in 30 seconds.
Whatever.
We’re looking at only “impeachment” “news” for the next several months.
yes
In the District of Corruption there are no rules, only maneuvers and manipulation.
One postive thing the impeachment is doing is exposing the sham (and the shame) that our government is.
The Dems are prepared to destroy the structure of our government to gain absolute power and control. They would rather rule over burning ruins if that is what it takes to win. The GOP must have the same resolve to defeat them.
When voters speak, CONgress critters laugh. Or something.
The sad part of it is, our pretend leaders don’t give a rat’s ass how the nation looks at a time like this.
It could end in coals and ashes and they would care.
Maybe McConnell is setting the path for the Supreme Court to declare the impeachment of Trump unconstitutional.
Considering the facts on the FICA warrants and the proceedings since the warrants, it would seem to be totally unconstitutional.
Roberts to go along....
What if he says we’re right but it sure would take courage for him to actually rule like that (gulp!). Better for me if I stay quietly in the background and let it all go.
Then Mitch needs to take a state and say NO
Now we're dreaming. A courageous man fighting the corrupt Commies in the Dem lynch mob witch hunt.
Alas, a 3-D chess move he probably isn't going to make.
Well, if it is declared unconstitutional then it all ENDS and we can get on with life!
grasping at straws. Roberts might do this for Obongo 0 chance he does it for Trump. I now believe they may remove him, they get him with enough smoke on a QPQ using a parade of assassin witnesses, the same 4 traitors side with the rats on a secret ballot and there you go. Either way we are looking at months of misery.
They cannot vote on impeachment or anything else connected to this clownshow.
They need to be recused now. The GOP had better start screaming about it, now.
