This should have a thread of its own so everyone can laugh at it.
So, Trump wrote Pelosi a letter. It is, of course, a perfect letter. Many people are saying it.
What in the actual fuck. Did any previous President facing impeachment do anything similar?So, Trump wrote Pelosi a letter. It is, of course, a perfect letter. Many people are saying it.

Reads like the work of a certain Stephen Miller.So, Trump wrote Pelosi a letter. It is, of course, a perfect letter. Many people are saying it.
Yep. Trump definitely had help writing the letter and Miller is the only one in the White House that would have both the vocabulary and the stupidity to help Trump write it.Reads like the work of a certain Stephen Miller.
That and it's longer than a couple of sentences. Oh and Trump wouldn't know how to use the word "indelible"...

McConnell says he's not an impartial juror at all. Surprise surprise /s
That would be absolutely awesome if the SCOTUS finally shows some backbone.Ginsberg is making sounds such that she's suggesting the GOP position renders the trial to be wholly improper. I'm not sure about Roberts, but I wonder if he will pronounce that recusions must happen or the "jury" held in contempt.
In any case I wonder if an appeal to the SCOTUS in the matter of violation of Congressional duty and improper procedure might result in some remedial action.

Please. The Constitution grants the Senate the sole power to try impeachments and to make their own rules. Those decisions are, by definition, non-justiciable. Don't like it? Then vote the bums out. It's the only answer.

The courts have ruled some time ago that the act of impeachment is one of a judicial nature. That is why the House has powers it normally doesn't otherwise have except with impeachment. SInce the Courts recognise this as fact with the Chief Justice presiding, no one knows precisely what he can or will do. Certainly as a Justice he has the ability to subpoena but how will that play out? Again no one knows as this has never happened before. Since we haven't any experts here I wouldn't pay much attention to those who suggest they have the answer. Hell, I don't think anyone does, including Roberts.They've shirked their constitutional duty. They've ignored it. The body that is established to interpret the constitution now has the power to whip them back into place. The Senate's actions are wholly unprecedented. There is no longer "non-justicable" or "the senate having sole power." They've rejected their oathes of office. This system wasn't built to withstand two out of three branches of government, wholly rejected their oaths, in order to serve themselves and some sort of monarchist fascism. The very crimes that they are charged with in this impeachment involve attempting to fix the election, in order to establish permanent minority power.
There simply is no fixing this through the system that they are explicitly, unnapologeticaly rigging, in front of everyone's faces. They've admitted it dozens of times, and they further established that they don't fucking care.
If SCOTUS needs to whip their fucking asses, in yet another unprecedented check on our federal system, then so-fucking-be it. I'm curious why you still stick to this "well, the constitution doesn't allow it so...well, let's just let them hijack the country and turn it into a monarchy, because reasons" argument. Why? The GOP has no interest in Democracy, so ending them is not going to be a democratic process. It simply can't happen that way.
If, in the end, we need firing squads for this fascist GOP scum, then so-fucking-be-it.
"More due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials."
Fuck, man.
So Roberts should just stay home. Gotcha.
