quote:

President Trump's legal team argued that the articles of impeachment passed by the House of Representatives are "an affront to the Constitution," saying the Senate should "speedily reject" them.


quote:

"The only threat to the Constitution that House Democrats have brought to light is their own degradation of the impeachment process and trampling of the separation of powers. Their fixation on damaging the President has trivialized the momentous act of impeachment, debased the standards of impeachable conduct, and perverted the power of impeachment by turning it into a partisan, election-year political tool," the brief reads. "The diluted standard asserted here would permanently weaken the Presidency and forever alter the balance among the branches of government in a manner that offends the constitutional design established by the Founders," it adds.


quote:

The 171-page brief, which was filed to the Senate, resembles the rhetoric found in a legal document Trump's lawyers also submitted over the weekend that called the articles of impeachment "constitutionally invalid." The president has been charged with "abuse of power" and "obstruction of Congress," accusations Trump has repeatedly rejected.

Chuck Schumer himself said in 1999 that it would be used as political tool after his homeboy Billy was impeached. Now that the shoe is on the other foot things are different this time.

Good, I like this approach. Let's put the Democrats on trial in the Senate and expose them for the partisan liars that they are!

The Democrats have already filed a rebuttal to this.

Problem is, there is one little portion in there that isn't correct. And it seems like an important piece.


"He must either surrender all evidence relevant to the facts he has disputed or concede the facts as charged."

^^ these would be the shenanigans McConnell says he installed kill switches to prevent.

The video of Dersh telling George Hippalopolous this was gold. George could not counter this so he asked who Dersh would be voting for this election. Dersh replied I don't even know who the nominee is. George said under his breath, yeah you clearly know....

As if Dersh was a republican hack.

McConnell says he's gonna stop this thing immediately if they try and pull any tricks. Well, the damn thing hasn't even started yet and they're getting all fricky with it.
