The
Roberts and the court have a Constitutional duty to put the Nazis back into their place.
Until the Supreme Court (or perhaps federal court) says the act is useless....The senate can bar Trump from running again.


No. The Constitution is not worded that way that a power exists until explicitly forbidden. The Constitution is written to expressly enumerate what powers the Senate has, and as written, forbidding an officer from ever running for office again is a power ascribed to AN OFFICER OF THE UNITED STATES UPON CONVICTION OF IMPEACHMENT which can only be done:
  1. To an Officer of the United States (Trump is a civilian).
  2. As a result of conviction of crimes or misdemeanor (the Senate cannot convict private citizens of crimes ), Non bis in idem.
The Senate has the power to ascribe punishment to an officer of the government including barring from running for office up to impeachment upon conviction of a crime. Since Trump holds no office, he cannot be convicted by the Senate, cannot be punished by the senate. Whatever the democrats have in mind is to torture the law much as they did during the election and in the last impeachment. IMO, the Congress must first pass an amendment expressly empowering them to be able to pursue people out of office which they will never get passed as it would essentially award the Senate virtually unlimited legal power (which is kind of what Nancy is going for).

The bitch be slapped down. Fuck her.

The Senate has tried people after they have left office several times. This is nothing new.

YOU be slapped down. FUCK YOU!!!
 
The reason the chief justice presides over presidential impeachment, is because the normal person presiding over impeachment is the President of the Senate, which is the vice president.

The vice president of a sitting president being impeached, presiding over this kind of impeachment of his partner and boss, is a known conflict of interest.

Since the President is no longer a sitting president, and his own vice pres is no longer the President of the Senate, the chief justice is no longer needed.

So Commiela should preside...right?

Sure, it can bar Trump from running for president again,
I don't think so. As per Article Two Section Four, the Senate cannot bar Trump without a conviction of a crime, and the Senate has no power to convict a civilian who is not an acting officer of the United States.
This is yet one more lawless bullshit maneuver by the democrats.
You may be correct; however, for your point to be adjudicated, the senate would have to convict trump and bar him from holding federal office so that he could adjudicate the action in court. Until then, the senate will do what it wants to do, constitutional or not.



No. As per the Constitution, just being out of office and no longer POTUS frees all courts automatically to pursue any civil actions they might want to engender. The POTUS is only protected from legal actions while in office because otherwise, that could compromise the office, endangering national security.
No
Since he is no longer President he cannot be “impeached” as if he was still President
Oh they will try and run a media aided shit show that they call impeachment,



That's not what I said. Trump is already impeached, but cannot be convicted as punishment because the Senate's prosecutorial power is limited to officers of the government as per the constitution. Trump is a civilian now, unprotected from civil law and can and must be charged, tried and convicted according to civil law.
 
Trump was i
it is first sign that Roberts might have a tiny backbone
He shows backbone by refusing to do his job? the man is a coward
He is doing his job. The Senate can't try any civilian and Trump is now a civilian.


CORRECT. Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution states: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The Constitution also allows for involuntary removal from office of
the president, vice president, Cabinet secretaries, and other executive officers, as well as judges, who may be impeached by the House of Representatives and tried in the Senate.

Any
official convicted by the Senate is immediately removed from office, and the Senate may also order, by a simple majority, that the removed official be forever disqualified from holding any federal office.

The Constitution makes no allowance for impeaching a person from office who HOLDS NO OFFICE and is not a civil officer of the United States. Period. End of story.


Before Nancy can have her pound of flesh, she would need to have an amendment ratified to the Constitution first making allowance for the Senate to try civilians and FORMER officers of the United States
, which they cannot do as this would create a legal quandary of giving the Senate unlimited power to cross legal boundaries into civilian courts.
Trump was impeached while he was President. So the impeachment is valid.


Totally different situation. Impeachment is censure. The purpose of conviction is for removing from office of a chargeable crime rather than mere whim of the House. The constitution is explicit that the Senate can only convict OFFICERS of the government. Blount was a senator not a president and was guilty of treason, and the senate even then in doing so tortured the law setting up a legal conflict many took great issue with.

The Constitution explicitly states that a President can be impeached and tried by the Senate. It also says that he can be barred from ever holding office again.

Senator Blount objected to his trial because he he was no longer a Senator, however the Senate rejected that objection. However, after that the Senate dud rule, as you said, that he was an elected official, not an officer and therefore could not be tried be impeached. That ruling was never challenged in court.

However, the Constitution explicitly states that a President can be impeached and tried by the Senate.

Trump is guilty of incitement to Insurrection - just as bad as Blount's treason - probably worse!

They already know that.

, which they cannot do as this would create a legal quandry of giving the Senate unlimited power to cross legal boundaries into civilian courts.

Trump was impeached while he was President. So the impeachment is valid.

Once impeached the Senate must put him on trial. It's up to the Senate when to schedule the trial.

The fact that he is no longer President is not relevant.

When Sen. Blount was impeached in 1797, the fact that he had already been expelled from the Senate was deemed not relevant.

Most Democrat Voters do not understand that their first impeachment was totally bogus, and that this impeachment is even worse.
1 Trump did not commit an impeachable offense. He just asked about Biden's crimes in the Ukraine.
2 Trump DID NOT incite an insurrection.
The problem seems to be that the Dem voter's hate is about 10x stronger than their minds.
Liberals seem to lack any sense of shame because they also lack a conscience.
They do not understand how bad that they look to reasonable people.
The Democrat Party is based on hate.


CORRECT. The Constitution is specifically worded to PREVENT a president from being compromised by being forced to serve at the pleasure of the Congress by being able to charge him at whim for ANYTHING just because they don't like it! Yet despite that, the House tortured the law essentially convicting Trump for NOT serving at their pleasure for using his enumerated power and acting according to the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel) to not respond according to the House's whims unless and until they FOLLOWED THE LAW themselves and submitted their demands IN WRITING, which they never did.

The House managers should have been threatened, charged and convicted for exceeding their authority a year ago, but the balless turtle McConnell sat and did nothing.

No they have not because they cannot . Other adjudicary entities can or may be able to.

Trump is subject to their authority while he is part of the entity that they control. When he’s gone from that they can’t treat his departure as if he is still there
Your unrequited emotion to “Un President” Trump is an emotional lash out. You can’t be satisfied with Biden being In so you are foolishly and vengefully trying to make it look like Trump never was in.

Trump is guilty of incitement to Insurrection


Sorry but again, Trump's not a president. The senate has no lawful power to punish civilians. And asking a group of people to go to the Capitol to cheer on the senate in opposing the certification of questioned electors until the matter is properly adjudicated IS NOT an incitement to insurrection, ESPECIALLY AS:
  1. It flew contrary to Trump's wishes. It STOPPED the objections.
  2. The riot had already started before Trump told them to even go!
  3. No one at the capitol arrested has been charged for insurrection, treason, or any other high crime, so how could Trump "incite" anyone to insurrection when insurrection hasn't even been charged to any of the actors????
  4. A person cannot be responsible for the actions of another: if I run for office and say I oppose gun control then a follower of mine interprets that to go out and attack others who are FOR gun control, that isn't MY fault.

The problem with you crazy assholes is that you have so single-minded a blood-thirsty fixation on hanging Trump from a tree and carrying his head on a pole in victory, you don't care what laws you break or what damage you do to my country.
 
JUST IN: Chief Justice Roberts Will Not Preside Over Trump Senate Impeachment Trial

JUST IN: Chief Justice Roberts Will Not Preside Over Trump Senate Impeachment Trial (thegatewaypundit.com)
25 Jan 2021 ~~ By Cristina Laila


Chief Justice John Roberts will not preside over Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.
If was previously reported that Roberts was eager to avoid presiding over the sham impeachment of Trump because he doesn’t want to become a political lightning rod.
Senate President Pro Tempore, Pat Leahy (VT) will preside over the sham trial instead.
The Hill reported:
A Senate source said Leahy, a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is expected to preside at the trial.​
A spokesman for Leahy said the decision on presiding over the trial is up to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).​

There is also talk that Republican senators may choose a secret ballot so their voting base will not know how each member voted.
If they do that the party is over. It’s already floundering after House leaders Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney blamed President Trump for the violence in the US Capitol on January 6th.
The Democrats are also floating barring Donald Trump from ever running for office.


Comment:
Damn the law and the Constitution, Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrats will use any means to destroy Trump and American Conservatism.
Chief Justice Roberts realizes that the sham trial of former President Trump is Un-Constitional.
Attorneys Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley both agree that the impeachment trial is not only wrong but violates the tenets of the U.S. Constitution....
Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commies and their quisling media have hit the ground running to reverse Trump' s policies. They'll soon begin to CLEANSE Trump supporters too. It's the Marxist communist wet dream come true.
The Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Leftists by their actions have proved that President Trump is actually the president now because they're trying like "Hell" to impeach him.
The majority of Americans do not believes that China Joey Xi was legitimately elected. Especially after he said, while signing 29 FAKE executive orders, that he obviously didn't even know what he was signing, but his Marxist handlers told him to sign it anyway. So as a good puppet he followed orders and signed the Executive Orders.
Americans that resist and pledge to restore America must Stay The Course.


The Constitution demands that the Chief Justice preside- not anyone else for the impeachment trial of a President.

If Roberts refuses to do it, Chuck and Nancy have two alternatives.

One is to drop the case and admit the Impeachment was Fake.

Two, impeach and convict Roberts for dereliction of duty, have another Chief Justice nominated and confirmed.
