Are you a legal expert? A USSC justice or a law professor? If not, you need to backup your claim with proof, here's Dershowitz:LOL!! Think about what you are reading without the partisan TDS filter. Ready.... Okay, read the words again:Although I would love for the democrats to waste a month or two on an impeachment trial that will never get 67 votes, I need to point out the simple fact that the US Constitution limits impeachment to "office holders", which Trump is not.
"...the American impeachment process is remedial, not penal: it is limited to office holders, and judgments are limited to no more than removal from office and disqualification to hold future office."impeachment

So the impeachment trial, or not, is a win-win for Trump and the GOP, because the democrats will lose votes during the "illegal" trial.
It shows how stupid democrats are, the party that thinks the island of Guam will capsize, and are happy wasting the senate's time.
So what cards are left to play by both parties and Chief Justice Roberts?
"It is limited to office holders" - Where does it say it doesn't apply to former office holders? Doesn't really matter to me actually as long as they get a censure which bans him from ever holding another elected office.

it is limited to office holders
Okay, read the words again:
it is limited to office holders (not former office holders!!)
If that doesn't sink in, then you are one of those stupid democrats that think the island of Guam will capsize.
"Impeached Trump" got 10m more votes in 2020 than the unimpeached Trump got in 2016.
Think about that, now Trump was impeached TWICE!!
Then it should say CURRENT office holders. Sorry, but a second impeachment is perfectly constitutional.
Dershowitz calls Trump impeachment a 'loaded weapon' that would be 'so dangerous to the Constitution'
Harvard Law professor emeritus and constitutional law scholar Alan Dershowitz said that while he does not believe it would result in a Senate trial, impeaching President Trump over what he said in an address prior to protesters storming the Capitol building on Wednesday would provide a "loaded...www.foxnews.com
Dershowitz has become a right wing tool. But he's smart enough not to defend Donnie in his second trial.
