So your whole defense of the third Riech style impeachment is sucks for Trump. Rules were set in place during Johnsons impeachment. They were again agreed upon when it looked like Nixon would be impeached. They were again agreed upon when Clinton was impeached. So we have over 140 years of agreement on the rules of an impeachment. Suddenly the democrats want it changed because : well Trump won an election.Sucks for Trump all he has in defense is to attack the process like some obviously guilty Mob boss. He is counting entirely on every republican putting him before the party and the country,You mean like the partisan hit job by the House?I like to believe that most Americans agree that this should at least look like justice has been served. The form of the trial leaves senators plenty of time to examine their life choices that led to this sorry situation where conservative lawyers will be arguing that abuse of power and obstruction are not impeachable offenses. It's anyone's guess if it will goad any of them to honor their oaths.
When Clinton was impeached democrats were grabbing every microphone they could and yelling that impeachment MUST NEVER be partisan. Now not only was it completely partisan but they could not even get a completely partisan vote.
The Dems claimed that impeachment was a sad and very somber affair. Yet during the signing they were handing out souvenirs, laughing, shaking hands. The only thing missing from the party was champagne and the dancing girls.
The Dems claimed that there was such a danger to our country that they could not take the time for courts to make a decision on exectiutive privalage. Yet sat on the articles for almost a month. Now faced with the fact that there might not be enough to assure a case in the senate but that things might be treated as partisan in the senate as it was in the house Dems want to impugn the republicans.
If the senate has to call witnesses and documents, has to make the trial for the house then there is no need for the house at all in the impeachment process.
Now suddenly it has occurred to Warren and Bernie that this has been timed to keep them out of the caucuses and push Biden into the forefront.
How do you think that Bernies people will react with him being cheated a second time?
Looks as if it is dirty, partisan politics as usual for the Dems. Lie, cheat, change anything needed to gain the control they want.
Nice analysis. The Dimms are orchestrating this shitshow, except in the Senate!
