Conservatives Will Not Forgive Senate for Buckling on Impeachment

The spectacle Thursday of the Senate swearing in Chief Justice John Roberts, and the Senators fraudulently swearing that they would deliver impartial justice, brought home the fact that the impeachment of President Donald Trump is very real.

The House of Representatives disgraced itself with a process that broke with precedent and basic principles of fairness. It impeached the president for legal conduct, on grounds that sow the seeds of future political chaos, if granted legitimacy.



Democrats are proposing not only to reverse the will of the voters in November 2016 — an election whose outcome they have never accepted — but also to “interfere” in the November 2020 election, stamping the president with the scarlet “I.”

To hear Republicans take all of this seriously — debating witnesses and the like — is infuriating. Why should Democrats be able to call a single witness after denied Republicans the ability to call any witnesses of their own in the House inquiry?

Why should Democrats be able to introduce new testimony, and new “factual” claims — from shady characters facing criminal indictment, no less — when Republicans were prevented from calling the original accuser, the “whistleblower”?

The only witness, in fact, who must be called — if witnesses are called at all — is the “whistleblower,” because the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the accused, including the president, the right to confront his or her accuser.

But to allow the Senate trial to go that far would grant the impeachment legitimacy it does not deserve.

The second article seeks to remove the president merely for obeying his constitutional duty to protect the executive by appealing the judiciary.

Of COURSE this procedure is illegitimate. Not once during the entire proceeding has any semblance of justice been introduced. It has been a Democrat majority power play where anything that would cast shade on their illegitimate actions. They used their power of majority to make sure nothing that distracts from their pursuit of SOMETHING with which to impeach the President.

However, if there is the opportunity to expose the corruption of the Democrats, even though it is not needed to prove the articles are worthless, it should be exploited. Democrats should suffer the full level of pain and suffering for conducting this farce, damaging the nation, wasting millions of dollars and putting the American people through hell and the way to do that is to make them pay by losing Congressional seats.

I’m starting to get a bit nervous about the possibility of the Senate voting to convict. Wasn’t John Roberts rumored to be vulnerable to blackmail a while ago? He can’t convict on his own, but he can certainly influence the proceedings. And those many RINOs…
I’m just considering my faith in the integrity of the senators, I guess.

@Petercat: Dont fret about Roberts he is just master of ceremony make sure they follow their own rules. Trump is a money maker for the GOP they will never get the numbers to remove.

I woudnt trust Roberts he picked the FISA rubberstamp judges.

@kitt: It’s the RINOs that I’m worried about.

@Petercat: They care about the money the most big buck donations from oil and military contractors.

John Roberts blackmail rumor is purely sexual and he got caught on camera

@MOS 8541:

The only rumor I’ve heard is that the adoption of his children wasn’t legal.
