Delita 698 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) In a sign of how worthless Republicans are, look no further. It was always a far cry but 45 total republicans is shameful. So basically you can't go to trial with a sitting president, and when he's gone it's unconstitutional because he's no longer there. Good to know the president is above the law https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9189847/45-Republican-senators-vote-Trump-trial-illegal-sign-vote-acquit.html A majority of Republicans voted Tuesday that Donald Trump's second impeachment is unconstitutional It's a sign the former president will likely be acquitted in his upcoming trial Republican Senator Rand Paul forced the Senate to vote on the matter Paul argued that trying a former president would violate the U.S. Constitution 'I think it'll be enough to show that, you know, more than a third of the Senate thinks that the whole proceeding is unconstitutional, which will show that ultimately they don't have the votes to do an impeachment,' Paul said 45 Republicans voted trial was unconstitutional Paul said the vote meant 'the impeachment trial is dead on arrival' 'It's one of the few times in Washington where a loss is actually a victory,' he said Also, the 100 senators were sworn in as Trump's jury The trial is expected to begin on Feb. 9 but the article of impeachment was delivered to the Senate Monday evening Edited January 26, 2021 by Delita Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,227 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Except there's already wording that exists in which, when there's an Impeachment Trial in the Senate, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court judges over the trial WHEN the President is in office, and a Senator can be the judge when the President is OUT of office. So, that wording already implies that a trial and judgement can occur when a president has already left office. Republicans are just pretending to play stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
lostfool 680 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Rand Paul is a fucking idiot. There have been a couple of occasions where someone in power has been tried after they resigned or left office though there wasn't a majority vote so they were not convicted. There has also been a few occasions where the trial in the Senat has stopped after resignation. There is nothing in the Constitution that precludes a trial and conviction in the Senate after the offender has left office. Of course Rand Paul is preaching to his constituents which are mostly retarded. Link to post Share on other sites

It was just the federal rules that kept him from being charged. “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller declared.

Due process, innocent until proven guilty. These are immutable and inarguable facts of the criminal justice system. No crimes, two failed impeachments. Nothing needs to be said beyond this; ever.

You keep saying he committed no crimes and your evidence is that he hasn't been convicted yet so that means he didn't commit the crime? 🤣😂🤣 I'm not arguing on whether he will be convicted or not.... because that doesn't actually change whether he committed a crime or not. That only decides if he will face consequences for his crimes. That's what's being discussed in congress. They're not even arguing that he is innocent.

It just changes if he will face consequences for his crimes. I'm arguing from a legal standpoint which is all that matters. Until proven guilty there has been no commission of a crime by the accused. It's a charge, an indictment, an ACCUSATION until a guilty verdict is rendered. No if's, and's or but's. Link to post Share on other sites
