Senate votes Trump impeachment trial is constitutional

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.

By the way, remember what was going on when the “spontaneous insurrection” happened on Jan 6?

Yeah, certifying the fraudulent election. In what can only be described as Hollywood timing the “certification” was interrupted by said mob, who we now know was NOT Trumpsters, but bad actors and probably antifa posing as Trumpsters.

Pretty bit of fakery, eh?

Was the election properly certified? I don’t know.

Good way to take the attention off of democrap insurrection by blaming the innocent Trump and the innocent Trumpsters.

We’re all on defense now, right? We need to be on offense.

Just sayin.

The vote to certify the stolen election was 93-7. Never forget. Never forgive.


Don’t forget that after the so-called insurrection, the challenges to several states’ results were dropped. I believe they only voted on AZ and PA.

It is a supermajority of 67 votes. They won’t impeach him.

This has been building for years, as evidenced by some of the so-called "Republican" candidates in recent years such as McCain, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney.

And it seems MOST SCOTUS nominees who make it to confirmation have also kissed the Communist party ring as well.

Nobody keeps secrets like the DemonRats do, and the media are willing accomplices.

[[[[I think the a trump legal team just over-argued the case. They weren’t going to change any votes and they droned on and on. In the words of Gilbert and Sullivan, their arguments were “ filled with words and music, signifying nothing.”]]]

Its called, “Missing the Mark”

They are not Americans. They are enemies of America! They show us everyday what they want to do to destroy us. Following New World Order...for profit, as they have been told to do.

FOX Radio news reported that the Louisiana Republican party is furious with Cassidy.

Of course they would.

It doesn’t make it so, regardless, but that isn’t going to stop them.

Now is the time to appeal that verdict, and let it wend its merry way all the way to the USSC. Which should take a long long time. Play the game the way the Tards play it.

They can’t make it constitutional by a vote.

This is a show trial, worthy of the Soviet Union. Of course, the left has taken lessons from the Soviets for decades, so we should not be surprised.

Exactly my sentiments

History does repeat itself but I really didn't imagine it would happen so soon!

In two years when we retake the house and senate, we can justify impeaching biden on Ukrainian calls (real), Obama on previous treason, real, and likely throw in clinton (both) one for in office shenanigans like selling info to china, and the missus for her e mails, and as a candidate for president.

Hey, why not candidate? We can simply deem it constitutional!

Who is going to snivel?

Unconstitutional vote. Senators can’t rule if something is constitutional.
