Senator Bill Cassidy explains his impeachment vote against Trump…
Citizen Free Press ^ | 02/09/2021

Posted on 02/09/2021 8:50:25 PM PST by SeekAndFind

 

“The House managers were focused, they were organized, they made a compelling argument. President Trump’s team was disorganized. If I’m an impartial juror, and one side is doing a great job, and the other side is doing a terrible job, on the issue at hand, as an impartial juror, I’m going to vote for the side that did the good job.”

 

“If anyone disagrees with my vote and would like an explanation I ask them to listen to the arguments presented by the House Managers and Trump’s lawyers. The House managers had much stronger constitutional arguments. The president’s team did not.”

And if “the issue at hand” is an un-Constitutionsl farce, why play along?

He’s right. He’s also been squishy too often. Not a surprise.

He did not “vote for impeachment.” He voted that the Senate trial was “constitutional.” Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Gee, what a complete MORON!! Goes for the package with a pretty bow vs. the cardboard box containing the truth. Does he only sign legislation printed with a pretty color of ink? If this is the general brainpower of our legislature, we're in deep doodoo.

The Senate does not decide constitutional matters.

Period. He should be judged. Along with the others.

The only explanation needed is that Cassidy is a worm.

That is insane. An impartial juror should DISCOUNT how well a case is argued and focus on the MERITS of the case. Is the person guilty or not and such!

Let’s see SENATOR, in the US of A Senate ... It doesn’t matter if it is Constitutional. It only matters if the Prosecution says he did it, better than the defense said he didn’t?

Your saying of these words really paints you as a stumble bum who bought his way into power.

Damn! I hope you didn’t treat your patients with the same thoughtfulness back when you practiced medicine. The people of Louisiana surely can do better.

What these naybobs dont understand is that, impeachment is a creature of the US Constitution. Therefore it is beholding to the constitution. ALL OF IT.

This guy is an idiot.

What matters is what is right, not who is slicker.

Seriously. What the f-— does this guy think he is doing? JUDGING A FREAKIN’ HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TOURNAMENT???

Sorry for yelling but Cassidy is an imbecile. His job is not to award points to the side that he thinks is “doing a great job.”
