This should go to the scotus first not the senate.
The house did not do this as set out in the constitution. Democrats have abused their power.

@Mott-The-Hoople
Total bullshyte. the HOUSE has the duty to start the impeachment. What the HELL do you think would happen if they go to Trump and say, we think you violated the constitution, you think anything other than Trump laughing in their face would happen?
Your Russian handlers love to have to spout BULLSHYTE to spread discord in America and you are one of those doing it. Nice work Ruskie.
@mott-the-hoople saidI wonder if you'd be saying the same thing if this was 1998?

Some of this conservative argumentation is shameless in its hypocrisy.
But hey, all is fair and cozy in a world that believes in the old 1980's idiom:
"If you're not cheating, you're not trying".
Right?
@Mott-The-Hoople...What the hell do you know about THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION and U.S. Congressional procedure....
You 'ought to shut your pie hole, until you know what you are talking about !

Facts are lies .
Hey look , a shiny object .
And we had a wager that if Trump is impeached you would not post in this forum for a month . Come back in January .
@Mott-The-Hoople
Yeah, turn it over to a sham jury where your buddy Moscow Mitch has abandoned even the pretense of a real trial. Don't allow evidence, don't allow testimony from WH officials like Mulvaney, just kill it before it can start.
Great way to pass down history to our kids. It's ok to have sham trials IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN.
@mott-the-hoople saidThe impeachment yoke is around Trump's neck.
not final yet..Pelosi is scared to turn it over.
And there it will stay. It's in the history books.
Senate can, and will, refuse to remove him from office.
But the impeachment is in the books.
And for a thin skinned man who exists totally on optics and image, this is a bitter pill to swallow !!
Trump couldn't accept Mueller's finding that there was no collusion with the Russians, but that the Russians did interfere in the 2016 election.
A loud, obnoxious but weak thin skinned man just couldn't let that go.
He was in the clear if he kept his nose clean.
But he had to jump right back in.
He has contributed to his own fate.
He may get another 4 years.
But the damage will be fixed.
If not sooner, then eventually.
@mghrn55
If he DOES get another 4 years it will take a LONG time for the US to recover any sense of integrity in the eyes of the rest of the world. Who would ever trust us to be allies, eh? Ask the Kurds.....
My only hope is after the dust settles, cooler heads will be in charge and new laws put in place to prevent this horror from ever happening again.

When will you guys just stop with the transparent BS?
We KNOW you hate the Constitution. TOO BAD.
@mghrn55 saidThe good news is that the House showed ethics, and did not back down once Trump forced their hand by failing his oath of office.

This was not the result of anything the House did or, the Democrats did. This was ALL because of something Trump did... abusing his power. And the House responded properly to a president who thought he was above the law.
The bad news is that his disgusting ethics will be affecting America for a generation or more, since he's packed the Federal courts with judges whose ethics are no better than his.
@caissad4.,,,,,,,Mott, lost the bet,,,,,,,Just like our President, character tells. So, not only is this wing nut going to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, he's also gonna' run his neck when he hasn't a clue what he is talking about......Hmm, as I say. good men can differ, but there is only one name for a guy who reneges on a bet.......A liar, cheat and a welsher......no 'REAL MEN' are welshers on a bet, we honor our word.......TRUMP HAS BEEN IMPEACHED......MAN UP, and SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE FOR A WHILE.
@sonhouse saidEyes of the rest of the wotld? I dont have my eyes on Denmark, or New Zealand. Why do they have their eyes on us? I don’t get that. The dams like Hillary and you and Obama , I think , are all into globalism. Maybe that’s where you were heading with this?
