Madison’s view on today’s Senate Impeachment Trial ___ “tyranny”.

[johnwk]

In regard to the legitimacy of today’s Senate impeachment trial and Senator Leahy acting as judge, jury and prosecutor, let us never forget that Madison describes such circumstances as follows:

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny ".. . . Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47

Perhaps that is why our wise founding fathers commanded in our Constitution “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside” ___and not a communist/socialist inspired Senator who derides an America First Policy and now presides over an individual who advocates and America First Policy.


So, all those Democrats and Republican Senators, who voted in favor of this trial, have not only violated their oath of office, but are now willing accomplices in an act of tyranny.

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of darkness.___Supreme Court Justice William Douglas

This is a public lynching of the best president this nation has ever had in office....he worked for us not them...so they got rid of him and are punishing us and sending a warning to other possible Trump's out there....

As I continue to say, with the words falling on deaf ears, we are currently living under a congressional dictatorship. There is no other explanation.

The impeachment trial of a man who isn't the President, presided by a man who isn't the Chief Justice, is a travesty that will go down in history as the worst abuse of power ever committed by a branch of the United States government.

The impeachment trial of a man who isn't the President, presided by a man who isn't the Chief Justice, is a travesty that will go down in history as the worst abuse of power ever committed by a branch of the United States government.

Just to be crystal clear, the House’s ARTICLES OF IMPEACHEMENT delivered on Jan. 26th to the Senate, and name “Donald John Trump, President of the United States” as defendant, are facially defective since the President’s term expired on Jan. 20th at noon.

The following is stated in the Articles:

Resolved, "That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate"

As you point out, Trump isn’t the President, but the Articles are charging the “President”. So why did the Senate move forward with a defective charging document? Do these members of the Senate not take the rule of law and their oath of office seriously?

The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, began on February 9, 2021. Trump was impeached for the second time by the House of Representatives on January 13, 2021.

If you don't know the answer to that question, then you don't belong in this discussion.

There can be no “unity” between today’s socialist and globalist revolutionaries who control the Democrat Party Leadership, and those who support a meritocracy and a free market, free enterprise system!

 

[johnwk]

It is now crystal clear in my mind that the 56 Senators who voted to move forward with an impeachment trial for Trump, were never serious about punishing him for “high crimes and misdemeanors” as alleged in the House’s ARTICLES OF IMPEACHEMENT.

For those unaware, the only punishment provided for a successful impeachment trial is as follows:

“Judgement in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States”

The fact remains, any real punishment for an office holder who may have committed the act of inciting an insurrection, is to be prosecuted by our judicial system and then punished as prescribed under Title 18. This is where the real punishment is to be administered!

18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Of course, if real punishment is to be had as found under Title 18 and implemented through our judicial system, the antics now being pulled by the Democrat Party Senate Leadership [edited tapes, lies, distortions, innuendos and other tricks to inflame passion rather than establish facts], is unavailable to these communist/socialist loving revolutionaries.

As to the applicable definitions to prosecute for an incitement to riot we turn to 18 U.S. Code § 2102. Definitions

(a)

As used in this chapter, the term “riot” means a public disturbance involving (1) an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons, which act or acts shall constitute a clear and present danger of, or shall result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual or (2) a threat or threats of the commission of an act or acts of violence by one or more persons part of an assemblage of three or more persons having, individually or collectively, the ability of immediate execution of such threat or threats, where the performance of the threatened act or acts of violence would constitute a clear and present danger of, or would result in, damage or injury to the property of any other person or to the person of any other individual.

(b)

As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.

So, as it turns out, the obvious purpose of the 56 Senators who moved forward with an impeachment trial is to inflame the passions and emotions of the American People, and divide them, using edited tapes, lies, distortions, innuendos and other tricks, which are not available under a Title 18 prosecution.

If anyone ought to be prosecuted, it should be the 56 communist/socialist loving revolutionary Senators who have used their office of public trust to divide the American people into two irreconcilable camps.

First the President is cut off from twitter, then Sen. Hawley’s book is cancelled, then the WalkAway Facebook page is taken down, Parler is removed, and even Mike Lindell, our pillow guy, is banned from Twitter by its socialist revolutionary control freaks. And now ‘Walkaway’ founder Brandon Straka is arrested by Biden’s FBI. Is it not self-evident a dangerous and un-American pattern is developing to cancel patriotic conservative speech?

You bet Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have won. Every parasitic rat found their way to the voting booth to vote to get their piece of “free government cheese”, just as they did in Venezuela and Cuba, and now suffer the poisonous consequences of their actions.

Our government, once of the people, by the people and for the people, has been transformed into a government of politicians, by politicians and for politicians . . . witness the latest influence peddling fortune being made by the Biden criminal enterprise family.
