It is troubling.

But we must remember that — while the impeachment process is in many ways analogous to a criminal prosecution — it decidedly is NOT a criminal prosecution.

Nothing in the Constitution guarantees “due process” in an impeachment proceeding.

This absence bothers our egalitarian natures, but the document says only that which is found in the words written.

But I agree that this discussion is likely moot. He will not be convicted.

As to your first question, I got tired of arguing with myself thru my GTHog alter. LoL. Seriously, I just got tired of the toxicity and the personal attacks. I enjoy a spirited discussion. Hell, I even enjoy a polite argument. But the venomous attacks upon anyone in disagreement just got really, really old.
