Highlighting the insufferable alignment of the two wings of the UniParty bird, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell allowed, permitted, and grinned as six GOP senators concurred with leftist democrats that impeachment of a former President is constitutional… Pro Tip: it ain’t.
Republican Senators: Bill Cassidy (LA), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Mitt Romney (UT), Susan Collings (ME), Ben Sasse (NE) and Pat Toomey (PA) aligned with the usurpation:
To see evidence of the constitutional quagmire one only has to look at Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to participate in the impeachment trial. Despite his own ideological progressiveness, even Roberts couldn’t bring himself to compromise the baseline of the Judicial Branch role in determining constitutional issues around impeachment.
The entire system in DC is operating outside the constitutional framework… FUBAR.
I will not focus on the 6 Republicans.
I will instead focus on Chief Justice Robert’s, Senate President Kamala Harris and the 50 Dems, which not one, during a pandemic and poor economies would insist on going forward with Impeachment of someone no longer in office!
Who’s next, Eisenhower, Lincoln, Jefferson?
There is a madness here.
No wonder Congress has the worst approval ratings of any branch of government.
I’m from Louisiana originally Cassidy vote does not surprise me La republicans can’t stay the course they get mad when another one beats them then they will all support the dem glad the party sees him for what he is.
Cassidy knows our idiot RAT Governor is intentionally destroying Louisiana’s economy to turn it blue … with this vote Cassidy confirmed he’s a RINORAT fence-riding traitor.
Hide and watch as my late oldest brother used to say.
President Trump (and his voters) will be found guilty because the right wing of the Uniparty will help the communist dems reach that magic 67 votes. The present SIX RINO voters will pick up the additional 9 votes to find President Trump, now a private citizen, guilty of fairy tale charges.
It may be past time to Texit and form a new nation. This one is beyond fixing.
I hope those 6 republican senators phone lines and inboxes are getting relentlessly HAMMERED from constituents who are absolutely FURIOUS over their representatives behavior!!!
Where is our military?? Remember you swore and took an oath to the Consitution!!! To protect the United States of America against ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DEMESTIC!!!
DO YOUR JOB!!1
Has anyone asked these morons to cite the Article and Section of The Constitution that gives The House the authority to hand articles of impeachment to The Senate for a private citizen, and where does it give the authority to The Senate to try and remove a civilian from a political office he does not hold? Where is the push back from these lame “R”s?!
Not to mention that the Chief Supreme Court Justice is to prevail over any such trial.
Please notice that this included the vote of the impartial “trial” substitute Chief Justice.
