Dershowitz says it is unconstitutional. The impeachment process was intended to remove sitting office holders. There was a case in 1876 when the former Secretary of War was tried by the Senate. He was not convicted. The criminal justice system is where private citizens are held accountable.
Senator Cotton agrees with Dershowitz that there should be no trial. Trump team will file a motion with the courts to prevent the trial. SCOTUS will decide. Most legal experts say Trump will win his court challenge.
My guess would be the democrats will claim the impeachment is legal because it BEGAN while Trump was president.
Only SCOTUS could overrule them and its loaded with Bush rats.
Thanks. Makes perfect sense.
