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.

Ben Sasse surprises me. When I have heard him speak, he’s always come across as Constitutionally minded.

As will be the vote to impeach...

If these buttheads are still standing in Congress after their next election, it'll be a travesty.

The difference between RINOs and Democrats is that Democrats have the integrity to admit that they’re Democrats.

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

Have you ever read the United States Constitution in it’s entirety? Remember, lying to Congress is a felony.

Hilarious. The Senate says the Senate is good.
What a bunch of clowns. I thought an actual judge would decide if this farce is Constitutional...

The six (RINO) senators are: Bill Cassidy
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Mitt Romney
Ben Sasse
Pat Toomey

These are not RINO's.

They are DIABLos.

The Demonic-rats only needed 51 votes, which Heels-Up Harris would have supplied. Knowing that, these traitorous RINO scum have at least some cover, considering not a single Demonic-rat exercised a lick of reason.

“The six (RINO) senators are...”

They’re all interchangeable. The names change whenever it’s needed. Sort of like the Supreme Court rulings.
