The only question is whether the trial may proceed after the accused leaves office. As to a former POTUS, that IS an open question, but analogous precedent from the 1800s suggests that the answer is “yes.”
Seems like that question will eventually find it's way to Roberts, where he won't be able to duck his duty.

It will finds it way there. The Senate does not have the power to take away the constitutional rights of any citizen. This is why congress refers criminal cases to the DOJ for prosecution. The Democrats are very clear that the purpose of the impeachment trial is to prevent Trump from being able to run in 2024 and that is taking away a constitutional right that they do not have the authority to do. Only a court of law can do that.
