She said this:
"I believe that the president has learned from this case," she said. "The president has been impeached. That's a pretty big lesson. I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future."

Hard to believe these people are so naive and they can't see what Trump's doing to government

Good on Romney.

Of course this will be offset when Manchin votes to acquit in two hours.

Came out today that Bolton refused to submit a sworn affidavit for the senate trial.

Still amazes me trumps dealing with Lev Parnas seems to be ignored.

And all this does is make Trump more powerful. Can't you see? He literally has more power now and more impunity as a direct consequence of investigating collusion and impeaching him for abuse of power without the ability to close the deal.

This entire debacle is a prime example of how the American experiment is vulnerable and in a state of failure as we speak.

The fundamental thing seems to be that oaths of office have no legal power. The presidents swears to faithfully execute laws, but this means literally nothing. Doesn’t bar him from exonerating his criminal co-conspirators and punishing his political enemies.

With the only enforcement being congress and voters, voters can vote themselves into autocracy as long as congress is complicit. Irony is almost 3/4th of voters did want witnesses called in the impeachment trial which would have forced senators to put their votes against damning testimony. But it was the gop politicians that subverted the will of their own voters to support a fascist president.

If the Democrats had better leadership they would be able to mobilize people around this, portray it as an attack on all Americans, not just the trump gop vs the Democrats.

Trump cucked the entire gop senate in front of the country. Bloomberg should make an ad targeting them.

I saw someone a comment somewhere, and I'm not going to get this totally right, but:
one of Trump's lawyers refused to prosecute Cosby, and the other defended Epstein... so they basically defended the hollywood elite pedophhiles and serial rapists.... but now they're going to defend the guy who was supposedly going to bring down the Hollywood pedophile cabal?

A few senators reportedly averted their eyes when the video of the January 6 incitement was played for the chamber.

I can't figure out if that would have been due to plausible deniability reasons or to cognitive dissonance reasons.

he's going to be acquitted, but Censure barring him from office is a possibility. SDNY is far more likely to finally rid us of him, let alone his horrible health.

I'm not sure the Constitution supports barring him from office without conviction.

"Unlike removal, disqualification from office is a discretionary judgment, and there is no explicit constitutional linkage to the two-thirds vote on conviction. Although an argument can be made that disqualification should nonetheless require a two-thirds vote,855 the Senate has determined that disqualification may be accomplished by a simple majority vote"

That's the GOP's best case scenario.

"Democrats unconstitutionally impeached Trump! They held a partisan vote to ban him from future office! They've disenfranchised 70 million Trump voters!"

Always a victim without agency.

Article 1, Section 3:
Quote :
" ...Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States... "


This states that the two possible results of conviction on impeachment are removal from Office and/or disqualification to hold future office. This implies that disqualification - like removal from office - requires a 2/3rds vote for conviction.

I expect a lot of discussion of the role of "comma and..." in the passage.

It's fine we'll just rely on the 3 justices Trump put in place and the other judge that openly supports him to decide on the original intent of that comma

This defense is laughable. Playing clips of politicians saying the words "fight" over and over with zero context. The editing is so bad. Sigh.
