The incoherent reading is that it is possible to impeach a president under circumstances where a trial is impossible, for example an impeachment an hour before he leaves office (which James Madison assures us is possible.) )In meantime the GRIM REAPER is being seated and his decades of non action and obstruction coming to a stifle.We'll see if Democrats learned lessons of 2009 where Obama believed he could relate with Repubs,,,WRONG.....good movie got to get some more popcorn..the South is on the run and Grant is chasing them..where have I seen this movie before.My wager no conviction,repubs just wont do it,,barred from office 60-40...Meantime Joe pumping up the jams,where the heck is my $1400.00 ? Issues of such importance should not be left to US courts, laws or citizens.Naaaah.

Roberts refusal to preside means that he believes he is not required to preside.He’s also not required to administer the oath of office to the president.Yet it has done it four times.Maybe Leahy can administer the oath of office in four years.

Really fuck with 'em. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Senate has the authority to try private citizens? If Trump is elected to be POTUS, he serves for a life, because he can't be a Former President. Trumpkins here confuse several issues. No trial, no need for the Chief Justice. Who am I kidding? What's to prevent them from impeaching and trying him every six months till he dies?Private citizens can't be forbidden by Congress from running for office. But the questions he asks will not be his. Kutcher, 42, replied to a tweet Grace wrote believing the show's Tanya Roberts … The Dems will never leave Trump alone.After Trump is dead and buried, they will dig up his body and desecrate it by dragging it behind a chariot racing around Capitol Hill. “I think it’s personal.”.

If Trump is not being tried for impeachment as a President, requiring the Chief Justice to preside, how is this not a bill of attainder? "This suggests an interesting question. Scene one was the bizarre parade of black-masked democrat politicians solemnly marching over to the Senate.

"Unless he admits to the American people that he has been lying to them about the "stolen" election: he has to be flushed from ever running for office again. Republicans, even the vacuous Mitt Romney, must have an inkling that a vote for conviction hinging on Republican votes would finish off the Republican Party for good and all. "A ceremony detailed in the Constitution which must follow the Constitution.If they deviate from that it is very much the role of the SC to call them down. Claim: Chief Justice John Roberts and Ghislaine Maxwell are pictured together. Delaying until then would give Biden and his gang plenty of rope to demonstrate yet more clearly and irrefutably what tyrannical assholes and pathetic incompetents they all are, so most of the public, including millions of disillusioned Biden voters, will be glad to find that Biden actually lost, and relieved to have Trump back in the White House.

I also realize that she is "Queen of Canada". Senate Dems will refer to the constitution. See what I did there? Its a matter of what the Constitution language means. It is clear, Roberts called up Schumer and read him the constitution(paraphrase)"The Chief Justice shall preside at the trial of an impeached President". The post predicted (correctly) that if the Chief declines to participate without explanation, Trump partisans will argue that this means the Chief decided that the Senate lacks jurisdiction, when in fact he may have decided that he has no role whether or not the Senate has jurisdiction.
