Impeached!

The Senate is not a court of law.   

 

Jurors who declare themselves as “not impartial” do not get to render verdicts in courts of law.  They are removed.   And they certainly are not allowed to coordinate and strategize with the defendant the way Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham are doing.   So be glad it’s not a court of law, Boiler.

 

Unfortunately the defendant refusing to testify is an impeachable offense all by itself.   As is his denial of documents and other witnesses from his inner circle.   So when Boilerman complains about a lack of first hand accounts he should realize the reason for that dynamic is in of itself impeachable.


The Repubicans disagree, and I suspect this decision will be decided in court.

No, they don't disagree at all. They know exactly what the laws and the prevailing dynamics are. They have decided to make their unprincipled decisions in order to defend their golden god.

 

I could refer you to dozens of statements by Republicans, many of whom are still in office, regarding how the Impeachment of Bill Clinton should be conducted. They wanted dozens of witnesses called. They reacted with intense outrage whenever the White House didn't instantly comply with their demands. And of course, they prattled on and on about how the President getting a blowjob was an existential threat to our democracy. Now, they say that the White House ignoring subpeonas is perfectly swell and we don't need no steenkin' witnesses.

 

So Republican outrage is manufactured and a sham--just like every aspect of the Republican party itself. They don't care about the law; if they did, they wouldn't slavishly support Trump.
