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.

You may see me in ‘PC Hell’ but have determined to make heaven my home!
Just a ‘pilgrim, a stranger while here on this earth, I roam.”
Citizenship is in heaven, thank you God!!!
Ready to go, just not volunteering at the moment! :^)
Take care........pilgrim
Starting Wednesday I will start referring to it as “Amerika”.
Healing?.....he’s kidding right? HE’s such a wimp ..and stupid.
There will be no healing nor unity.
JoMa
I see boxcars full of dead people.
Heal this traitor linda!
You take care also.
...and I agree with your take on things.
Please STFU Graham. For once.
You cannot heal from a fraudulent election...
They want to disenfranchise 75+ million voters.
To us, truth is Heaven, and lies are Hell.
To Leftists, truth is Hell, and lies are Heaven.
Our Heaven is true, so that is where we will go, if we believe in Truth.
But to them?
Well, I am just beginning to read the Bible, and when I read this, I don't feel that conservatives have much to worry about in this respect, but I think the other side does:
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who turn darkness to light
and light to darkness,
who replace bitter with sweet
and sweet with bitter.
I am licking my wounds right now, but those wounds won’t be eternal.
I will keep my powder dry.
With Linda, it should be “Physician, heal thyself”
Absolutely agree with your assessment! Then again, those sonovbitches have been busy watering down and rendering everything meaningless. From our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, status of United States Citizen and now our Vote.
Where do we go from here?
I don’t know, Howie66.
I just don’t know.
I have a long way to go before I can begin to effectively chart my course.
One thing I do fear, and they may have had this in mind, is that they have managed to turn a large portion of the conservative electorate against the Republican Party.
I have no idea if I can vote for a Republican again. I understand fully the arguments against a third party candidate and how they cannot win.
But I have a long way to go to vote for a party that by and large stabbed me in the back.
I fully expect to be stabbed in the chest by the Leftists. It is what they do.
I didn’t expect the knife in the back from people who I elected or trusted to guard our political capital we invested in them.
Shame.
Shame.
That wounds me far, far deeper than Trump’s loss.
>>>Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who turn darkness to light
and light to darkness,
who replace bitter with sweet
and sweet with bitter.<<<
Yes! See that daily!
