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.

Enough intelligent people in the population and these dickheads would pay a price for their actions the last 5 years. Let's see if anyone does anything about it, while not holding our breath.

Correct. Just a distraction to take away the attention from the stupid shite Biden admin has done in its first week.

Nothing could possibly go wrong with impeaching a former president. Imagine, if you will, a republican house and senate in 2024 going back in time to impeach obama and clinton, or even a dead one. Make them pay back all benefits given to them as an ex-pres.

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

Nothing. Haven't you heard the story of the frog and the scorpion? A scorpion is going to do what it does and a snake is going to do what it does.

Romney is and always has been a snake. I try not to hate people, but I truly hate that man.

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!

Ulterior motives can work for both sides of the aisle.
