I told you this would happen, if you Trumpets followed the evil orange clown bus over the cliff. The Trumpets have lost the WH, Senate and House in just 4 years, an achievement not seen since Hoover. And instead of learning and changing, you're all still in the cult of the clown. The GOP has gone from the party of Lincoln and Reagan, to the party of Qanon, Proud Boys, KKK, anti-vaxers and people stupid enough to believe the latest conspiracy theory. Pelosi it the least of your problems. |

Pelosi it the least of your problems. I haven't watched the video, sounds borning and as I've said, videos take too much time. But it's significant that Mr. Gowdy calls it NPelosi's argument. She didn't write the bill of impeachment, did she. She isn't a House manager. For anyone whose seen the video, does he really tie it especially to NPelosi or is it just that they use her name as if she were the boogyman? Buy this toothpaste, it's not what NPelosi uses. |

"One of Washingtons leading conservative constitutional lawyers publicly broke on Sunday with the main Republican argument against convicting former President Donald J. Trump in his impeachment trial, asserting that an ex-president can indeed be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors. In an opinion piece posted on The Wall Street Journals website, the lawyer, Charles J. Cooper, who is closely allied with top Republicans in Congress, dismissed as illogical the claim that it is unconstitutional to hold an impeachment trial for a former president. The piece came two days before the Senate was set to start the proceeding, in which Mr. Trump is charged with €śincitement of insurrection€ť in connection with the deadly assault on the Capitol by his supporters on Jan. 6. Since the rampage, Republicans have made little effort to excuse Mr. Trumps conduct, but have coalesced behind the legal argument about constitutionality as their rationale for why he should not be tried, much less convicted. Their theory is that because the Constitutions penalty for an impeachment conviction is removal from office, it was never intended to apply to a former president, who is no longer in office. Many legal scholars disagree, and the Senate has previously held an impeachment trial of a former official €” though never a former president. But 45 Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader who is said to believe that Mr. Trump committed impeachable offenses, voted last month to dismiss the trial as unconstitutional on those grounds. Mr. Cooper said they were misreading the Constitution. €śThe provision cuts against their interpretation,€ť he wrote. He argued that because the Constitution allows the Senate to bar officials convicted of impeachable offenses from holding public office again in the future, €śit defies logic to suggest that the Senate is prohibited from trying and convicting former officeholders.€ť " https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/07/u...3e91b65130eb97 |

Since the rampage, Republicans have made little effort to excuse Mr. Trumps conduct, Actually most of them are excusing his conduct too. They say that he didn't incite the mob, that it was free speech. There is some basis for that, because many of those insurrectionists came prepared, with gear, for what they did. I haven't read the actual impeachment document, but I said at the time that it sounded like they were too focused on what Trump said on the 6th, instead of laying out the case that they whole thing, two months of lies, deception and incitement was a betrayal of his oath of office, a dagger to the heart of our democracy. |
