(‘Cuz the U.S. Constitution RULES, baby!!)
Once again the mainstream media lets us down, to keep the clown show going.
In 1993 the U.S. Supreme Court held that, in a 9-0 ruling “…no trial is required for the Senate to acquit, or convict, anyone impeached by the House of Representatives.”
“The case is Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224 (1993).”
According to the Constitution, the House has SOLE power to impeach, and the Senate has the SOLE power to try impeachments. “The Senate has no authority to determine what conduct is impeachable or what process the House uses to impeach. On the other hand, the House has no authority over the Senate’s sole power to acquit, or convict, or the process invoked to either end.” (bold and underline emphasis added)
Let that sink in. A 26-year old SCOTUS ruling destroys this House Democrat hoax.
You wouldn’t know it based on all the media hype legitimizing the illegitimate.
Talk about a journalism FAIL…FakeNews, truly, is the enemy of the people.
Otherwise, the Pelosi-Nadler-Schiff clown show would die of humiliation.
The Senate should end this charade. Some argue a ‘trial’ could help expose the totality of Democrat chicanery (including Ukraine corruption) but this would be a fool’s errand.
Republicans historically have displayed amazing incompetence against FakeNews, and they should not make the mistake in believing such a trial would be any different now.
They are NOT Donald Trump: he can beat FakeNews…they can’t.
McConnell should expose the vacuous nature of their charges, and dismiss them.
PERIOD.
Then, let the President handle the FakeNews hysteria that ensues…
…until the NEXT impeachment effort begins…
…and so on, and so on, and so on.
