Don't you tell me my business again.

"Due Process is required" said during the process specifically outlined in the constitution to address matters like this involving the President. Also, LOL at "this was rushed" when McConnell specifically delayed it until after Biden was sworn in.

God dammit

if the Founders wanted Donald Trump to be impeachable after leaving office the Founding Fathers would have explicitly said so, bing bong so simple

Show me anywhere in the constitution it says anything about impeaching Donald Trump specifically? Something something founding fathers witch hunt

"Raskin Doctrine" aka what the Supreme Court said was incitement, which he then walks though and defends as "nuh-uh".

Seriously why does he keep bringing up Brandenburg and saying the exact opposite of what it says (apart from the fact that he's a terrible lawyer)

I'm right in thinking that the Senate is on holiday all of next week anyway so calling witnesses just cancels their break and doesn't get in the way of normal business?

Having Donald Trump throw his base under the bus in the Senate chamber to save his own rear end is the easiest win so of course they're not going to do it.
