I think they should have just refused to show up.Defense rested after only about 3 hours. Looking like he'll be acquitted.
I doubt anyone thought it would go any other way.Defense rested after only about 3 hours. Looking like he'll be acquitted.
The outcome is deterministic political theater. We always knew the outcome. We always knew who was going to vote to convict. It didn’t matter who called which witnesses, or evidence presented, or arguments made. It was always going to come down to a vote mostly along partisan lines.Not because of anything the defense did
Theater, that I’d Trump was to run again, which has offered some pretty unflattering things concerning the Capitol Riot response.The outcome is deterministic political theater.

Can you fix this? I don’t know what you’re saying.Theater, that I’d Trump was to run again, which has offered some pretty unflattering things concerning the Capitol Riot response.
Sorry, phone. The impeachment process has revealed some pretty unflattering things about the way the president handled the riot. Stuff that could prove quite detrimental if he were to run again. The McCarthy call was particularly damning.Can you fix this? I don’t know what you’re saying.
I'll translate for you: "Because Trump."Can you fix this? I don’t know what you’re saying.
The chief justice is sitting this one out because it was not a legit impeachment trial over THE President that requires him to preside over as spelled out in Article 1 Section 3. Specifically in Clause 6.I don't think people are nearly incensed enough that the senate took a vote to decide what was constitutional, and then proceeded as if that was sufficient
If that is the 'rule of law' they're always on about, they're doing it wrong
Where was the chief justice, again?
Clinton was impeached for lying about sex vs sedition, and was not convicted. The pot & the kettle are both indeed black.Bill Clinton was impeached and he's still allowed a life time protection and a full pension.
If impeached Trump might not be allowed to run again for president in 2024.
We should be able to take what we dishThe Democrats don't care about causing division; they control both houses and the Presidency.
Their "Let's unify" rhetoric will be the same as Obama's; "The Republicans can come along, but they have to ride in the back."
We were told to STFU when Marion Barry ran for Mayor after being convicted for Crack. It’s the people’s choice if they want to elect that person. Right? People deserve the government they voted for, right?Your question is silly. If a President were to do these things and resign, what would an impeachment do to him?
Yes, I think they designed it exactly that way, and they thought of those things.
Impeachment for an elected official is different than for an appointed official. I do not think that they intended for impeachment to be a tool to stop someone for running for office, but rather to remove someone from office that heinously misused their power in office. They would have left it up to the constituents to determine if said person should be elected again.
An appointed official would be different, as the people never chose that person.
