The Senate voted Tuesday to move ahead with the unprecedented impeachment trial of former President Trump after listening to hours of arguments on whether it is constitutional to try a president who is already out of office.

The vote was 56-44.

Trump's legal team said the trial is unconstitutional because he's no longer in office and can't face removal, which is the standard judgment of an impeachment conviction.

Good. I thought the argument in favor of constitutionality of the impeachment trail was solid. I also think that setting a precedent for a “January exception” is dangerous. I see the argument against constitutionality as a cop out by cowardly Republicans who don’t to make stance one way or the other on the Articles of Impeachment.

“ Remember, lying to Congress is a felony.”

Are you expecting the liars who initiated these proceedings to put a halt to the liars who are carrying out their will?

We’ve lost the levers of federal government, the military, police, and god knows about red state government and sheriffs.

Put all of them under oath and ask the one question:

You should know by now they don't care about reciting some silly words called an "oath."

Impeach him all they want, I’m still voting for the guy in 2024

I thought the purpose of this impeachment is to disallow him running for anything ....

“When the Red Terror comes to pass, do you want to be buried in a mass grave, or would you prefer mass cremation?”

I prefer to die fighting, on my feet, weapon in hand. What happens to my bodily aftermath doesn’t matter.

I’m 72, my health has gone to s*** and I don’t care anymore except that my affairs are in order.

And I’m tired of hearing how the omnipotent state will grind us all under its jackbooted heel. If there’s no hope, fine.

Let’s get on with it.
