Illegal. The Constitution says the CJ must preside. Clear case at SCOTUS.

Sure. Why not? If you’re going to have a phony baloney UNCONSTITUTIONAL Senate hearing without the Chief Justice, why not go all the way and make it even more illegal?

More illegitimate crap.

They aren’t legitimate and do not represent the U.S.

Their lawless action shows they know it and don’t care.

Kangaroo Court. The US Constitution is very specific about Ch Justice presiding.

This is great. I hope the Senators get out some giant puppets and start rumbling around like Antifa during the “Trial”.

Since the Constitution does not matter, no need for due process, no need to allow President Trump the ability to defend himself. Just call the Senate into session, the communists present their “evidence”, allow no defense, hold a simple vote with 51 votes enough to remove from office and banish him from the country!
