I am not Brainwashed or Brain Dead
Of course if one is brainwashed or brain dead, they wouldn't know that they are brain washed and brain dead, now would they, Einstein?
Pertinent members of the Senate have already made their declarations regarding the Trump Impeachment, with Mitch McConnell vowing a quick "acquittal" and boasting that he is NOT an impartial juror and
pledging there will be no difference between the President's position and the Senate's position. And of course the outspoken, always shifting opinions of Lindsey Graham admitting that he's
"not trying o pretend to be a fair juror here". I can assure you that
HAD the House Democrats made such "open" declarations, we'd be hearing the yelling still to this day from House Republicans.
Imagine a private sector criminal defendant meeting with the judge to set the rules for his own trial against the prosecution, telling the prosecution attorney what witnesses he could call and evidence he could present. And the judge and jury promising the criminal a quick acquittal.
So, its no wonder Pelosi hasn't sent the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. A choreographed acquittal exonerates no one. Will the Senate be able to conduct the trial set by the rules of our Constitution ... and the special oath of
"impartial justice" according to the Constitution & laws? Its not just Trump that's on trial here, the Senate, especially the Republicans, are on trial, as well as the entire US constitution. What happens in the Senate will carry over for decades to come. No one wants to be on the wrong side of
history.
We'll see if the partial Republican Senate intends to allow Democrat witnesses and provide any appropriate documents. A sham trial
HERE and we can't expect the courts across the country to do anything more than follow the Senate's example.
• Trump used his office, and leveraged congressionally appropriated foreign security assistance, for his personal political benefit to coerce Ukraine to announce an investigation into a political rival.
• Will the Senate permit the coercion of a foreign government to interfere in our domestic elections?
• Will the Senate enable the unprecedented, wholesale disregard of lawful congressional subpoenas to cover up the truth?
• Will our national election system ever be safe again from foreign country interventions?
• And, will the Senate's expected, open biased actions make this the new NORM?
The Republican party has been spiraling out of control ever since Obama took the presidency in 2008 ... and Trump's presence has only accelerated their spiral downward.
