Do you know what republicans voted to convict besides Romney and Murkowski--It is time they are primaried out--CANCELLED.
Sass, Burr, Tumey and Cassidy
Cassidy can kiss his political future in Louisiana goodbye. This is a solid red state. The Louisiana GOP is already talking about getting rid of him ASAP.
Does Red mean an inability to discern right from wrong?
Nope, it doesn't. But it does mean taking the law into consideration. In a sham impeachment of a former president, even McConnell laid out why the impeachment was illegal. It's mandatory upon conviction to remove from office. He's gone, so you can't impeach. He voted that it was unconstitutional, then voted to convict.
It's ok, we take care of our own down here. Don't think he'll be reelected.
That’s complete bullshit. Trump was impeached while in office. Under this idiotic precedent that you and Mitch seem to be promoting. It would enable any senate to sit on the articles until a presidents term runs out or it would enable a politician to simply quit to avoid an impeachment. That means no accountability. Are you really going to back that idiotic argument with a straight face?!
One name explains it all, Agnew. He could have been impeached, thrown out of office but he resigned which took those two steps out of the cycle. It went directly to the Criminal Courts which would have followed the Impeachment Process had not resigned.
Another name would be Nixon. Nixon resigned before the impeachment but that did not take the criminal response away. What took the criminal response away was when Ford Impeached Nixon. Even so, the pardon agreement leveled pretty much the same things a criminal conviction would have sans the prison time.
Then there is Clinton. Even though he was Impeached and the Impeachment trial failed, he still faced civilian criminal charges. Bush Jr. gave him a pardon with pretty much the same sentencing sans prison that he would have received in a criminal trial.
Out of these 3, the only one that could NOT hold another Federal Job was Agnew since he was the only convicted felon.
Rump has 7 years to sweat out this one. And if you think Rump is going to behave himself, here is a little tidbit that finally came out. That trip to Florida by Macarthy wasn't so much to kiss Rumps Ass, it was to retrieve the GOP Donor List that is supposed to be maintained by the GOP HQ. That list is in Rump's possesion. His right to maintain desolved. Rump refused to turn that list over. Meaning, Rump ain't through yet and will continue down the same pathway. And no one really knows how many hundreds of millions he has to spend on the efforts.
The good news is, if he uses one dime of those hundreds of millions for his criminal defense, he'll just be adding to the criminal charges and the Courts are pretty well fed up with him. And he's not going to get anything for free or on credit since he won't pay his legal debts. It's strictly cash and carry.
Same goes for any of his "Ralleyes". After stiffing many cities already, the only way he's going to get the permits is to pony up the money up front to pay for them.
