In regard to the legitimacy of today’s Senate impeachment trial and Senator Leahy acting as judge, jury and prosecutor, let us never forget that Madison describes such circumstances as follows:
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny… . . Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47
Perhaps that is why our wise founding fathers commanded in our Constitution “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside” ___*and not a communist/socialist inspired Senator who derides an America First Policy and now presides over an individual who advocates and America First Policy.
So, all those Democrats and Republican Senators, who voted in favor of this trial, have not only violated their oath of office, but are now willing accomplices in an act of tyranny.

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of darkness.___Supreme Court Justice William Douglas
So, what you are now indicating is the House’s ARTICLES OF IMPEACHEMENT delivered on Jan. 26th to the Senate, and name “Donald John Trump, President of the United States” as defendant, are facially defective since the President’s term expired on Jan. 20th at noon.
The following is stated in the Articles:
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
As you point out, Trump isn’t the President, but the Articles are charging the “President”.
In any event, what does all this have to do with Senator Leahy acting as judge, jury and prosecutor, which is the very definition of tyranny?

Our socialist/fascist revolutionaries, which now control the Democrat Party Leadership, areknown for accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of.
Dont tell about Madison. They will want to impeach him.
Nothing in the Constitution says an ex President has to be alive to be impeached.
British law has a history of punishing dead people, like Cromwell.
So why did the Senate move forward with a defective charging document? Do these members of the Senate not take the rule of law and their oath of office seriously?

Today’s Fifth Column media ___ MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, in addition to Facebook, Twitter ETC., and countless Yellow Journalists who are socialist revolutionaries ___ make Russia’s old Pravda, [an organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union] look like propaganda amateurs.
They SHOULD have charged him with Dereliction of Duty instead of what they did. It is obvious he was derelict in his duty that day. Would have been a slam dunk, impossible to not convict on that charge.
