quote:

Nearly every Senate Republican declared Tuesday that putting a former president on trial for impeachment is unconstitutional, indicating that the House’s case against Donald Trump is almost certain to fail.

The procedural vote, forced by Sen. Rand Paul, underscores the significant hurdles facing the House’s impeachment managers, who will need to convince at least 17 Republican senators in order to secure a conviction. Paul’s motion to declare the trial unconstitutional ultimately failed because Democrats opposed it; however, 45 GOP senators voted to affirm the Kentucky Republican's view, delivering an early and possibly fatal blow to the House’s case.


quote:

Just five GOP senators — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse and Pat Toomey — voted with all 50 Democrats to affirm the trial as constitutional and allow it to move forward.

If you voted that it was unconstitutional, how in the world would you ever vote to convict somebody for this?” Paul told reporters. “This vote indicates it’s over. The trial is all over.”


The same usual suspects voted with the Democrats.

The melt when Trump runs again in 2024 is going to be huge.

Let's roll with the impeachment. Let Trump put on his evidence for 3 eight hour sessions. It's time to show the nation what evidence you have Mr. President...

So the people that hate Trump most determined that it’s constitutional. WHAT a coincidence!

I think Rands resolution may actually matter. Because there are probably ten Republican Senators who would to convict Trump if it was a secret ballot.

Cassidy just said on WWL-TV that he wants to see the "evidence" before he makes up his mind. He said bombs were planted and if the FBI warned Trump, then he would vote to convict. Sorry no link... was on TV.

And every one of those assholes need to be voted out of office. The GOP needs to be supporting viable alternate candidates in every one of those states.
In contrast, ANYONE who voted that an impeachment of a President out of office is a political hack totally at odds with the Constitution of the United States.

Would love to know how many under-the-table deals they have going. Throw in McConnell, Graham, Cornyn, Cassidy, Rubio, Scott, and probably a few more, too.
