Constitution calls for the Chief Justice, nobody else.Nancy's faux impeachment of Trump is beginning to fall apart already.
The Belknap "precedent" is not even a "given".
Can you say "Constitutional Crisis"?
"The Constitution says that in impeachments for presidents, the chief justice of the Supreme Court is the presiding officer. For lesser impeachments, the presiding officer has been the same as for other Senate business — either the vice president or a senator. The Constitution is not clear on who should preside over impeachments for former presidents."Kamala Harris could preside over Trump impeachment trial if John Roberts doesn’t

So if Kamala Harris presides over Nancy's Kangaroo Court, just imagine how fast the trial will be and how little the defense will be allowed to present. OBJECTION!! What a joke. If ANY Republicans vote guilty they are done, gone, primaried and discarded.

RESPONSE: The Kangaroo Court was established by Moscow Mitch when Trump was first impeached. If the Chief Justice does not preside, and if the Vice President does, the trail will be just that; the defense will be allowed to present exculpatory evidence, if any attorney is willing to represent Trump and if any exculpatory evidence exists.
For the record, you don't see any conflict of interest if Kamala presides over a trial whether or not an ex-president can run against her in 2024, or be disqualified? That's just fine with you???? Besides, she is NOT an experienced judge, she was a DA, she is not even qualified to run a trial. But that would be perfect, a long shitty trial followed by another acquittal.
There is no "Moscow Mitch" only a Moscow Bernie. When you impeach for a non-crime, you get an acquittal, duh.
Trump has a good attorney, I hope he drags the trial out for 2 fucking years.
Your rambling rant rhetoric is irrational. Reasonable people understand that Vice President Harris seeks justice, and equal justice before the law. She has the chops to preside over the preceding's but it is most likely that the Chief Justice will once again serve in that capacity.
Since McConnell and Schumer will need to work out the details, I suspect it will represent a real trial, unlike the first one when only McConnell decided on the details.
Nazi’s farce is done.
