Sen. Lindsey Graham said if the Senate doesn't dismiss the impeachment article against President Trump, national healing could be delayed "indefinitely."
The South Carolina Republican urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who will soon become the majority leader, that a Senate trial for Trump's second impeachment would be an "unconstitutional act of political vengeance."
"In your first act as Majority Leader, rather than begin the national healing that the country so desperately yearns for, you seek vengeance and political retaliation instead," Graham wrote in a letter sent Sunday.
Graham added that the impeachment of a president no longer in office will potentially leave the country eternally divided.
"We will be delaying indefinitely, if not forever, the healing of this great nation," he said.
Other allies of Trump have echoed Graham's calls that the second impeachment is "unconstitutional."
Famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who represented Trump in his first impeachment trial, told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that there's precedent to suggest a president shouldn't be impeached once they leave office.
The Harvard Law professor cited there was no effort to impeach President Richard Nixon once he left office and a failed effort to remove the secretary of war in 1876. He claimed there is no jurisdiction to put Trump as a private citizen on trial.

Graham is as usual out of touch with the base of the party. There can be no healing when the party “leaders” like Graham fail to stand up for its members. And, there is definitely not going to be national healing when we experienced the last four years of the Democrats trying to remove a duly elected president and then stole the election.
My sentiments exactly. There is no healing until the usurper steps down and the rightful President is restored.
Not only would an impeachment trial held after January 20th, 2021, for the removal of Donald J. Trump as President be completely meaningless, it probably exceeds the language of the Constitution, in which there may be no “Bill of Attainder” (Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3) charged against then private citizen Donald J. Trump.
Ain’t a can of worms that should be opened, cowboys.
Why is it that it’s always the losing side is the one who sees the need for ‘healing’?
I’m there. I realize for most it will take awhile to see through the propaganda, if they ever do.
So will military tribunals but they are going to happen.
Grahamnesty’s amnesty will heal everything......./s
Same.
To drive them nuttier!
Resist/Impeach!
Agreed and for the same reasons.
HAS TO BE PROVEN IT WAS NOT STOLEN!!!!
Yes, caps and ‘they’ have to prove it was legitimate before ANY healing begins.
Boils have to be lanced and this is a boil on his lower anatomy parts! At least it is from this poster!
And until proven it was NOT stolen, sticking to it!
Go to Hell, Lindsey.
There will be no national healing. At least, not without a serious brouhaha.
Roger that. Not until Marxists swing.
A lot of we/Deploreables are where you are!
For me to consent to an election result, an election actually had to take place!

Linda can go run off with Mayor Peter Peter pumpkin eater for all I care.
There will be no healing. The RATS stolen the presidency and God knows how many Senate and House seats. *uck ‘em!
“Healing” with democrats would be like an abused wife going back to the man who beats her up.
NO WAY. Never.
We don’t ‘heal’ with white liberal ‘elite’ thugs.
