My opinion is that constitution doesn’t say he should and I explicitly said that doesn’t mean he won’t do it anyway.
If you’re asking me, then no. That is not my premise.
sikofit: zantax:Nope sorry, you don’t get to ignore what the constitution says, when shall he preside again? I forget.
Are you willing to back up your opinion? A 1 month signature bet on whether he presides over the 2nd impeachment of Trump or not?

Is that a yes or no on standing behind your opinion?
I don’t think that the Founding Fathers envisioned a man like Donald Trump… but here we are.
It is more likely more of them could relate to Donald Trump than they could to people wanting to impeach someone after he left office so that they can prevent him ever running again. The Founding Fathers would insist this is something for the electorate to decide. They were against authoritarianism, and wanted freedom within the entire nation.
Isn’t it time to consider Congressional term limits?

Right. This question needs to be taken beyond this forum.

Get back to me when you can understand what people write.

I am asking you. Then what is your premise?

If you don’t like your Congresspersons then vote them out. Easy peasy
So is Roberts willing to become Pelosi’s tool? To be part of a show that is only an attempt to satisfy The democrats crazed hate for Trump? Roberts may have other plans in the spring. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I don’t know him personally but I’m gonna say no and if the Dems go trough with impeachment he will show up because that’s his job and not because he is willing to become “Pelosi’s tool”
Okay fine.
President Trump sues to not be impeached. ( Slight correction. He will have already been impeached. The trial in the Senate will likely happen after he has left office)
He is then slapped down by the court because they live in this reality.
What’s next?
I guess the left will have to figure out another outlet for their Trump hate? Or simply move on?
Because it is magical reading of how things work.
It is akin to Sovereign Citizens objecting to gold trimmed flags in a court.
Where else do you hold the belief than an authoritarian few should tell an entire nation who they can and cannot vote for in the future? Who do you think told Nancy Pelosi to move on this?
So Pelosi want’s to impeach Trump a few months after he leaves office? If I’m not mistaken, the Chief Justice of SCOTUS oversees impeachment. So is Roberts willing to become Pelosi’s tool? To be part of a show that is only an attempt to satisfy The democrats crazed hate for Trump? Roberts may have other plans in the spring. I’ll believe it when I see it.
He’s required to by the constitution. Of course he will.

Nobody is doing that

Who says it’s his job? There is a real questions as to whether or not there is a constitutional basis for this.
altair1013: sikofit:Is Roberts willing to do his job? I certainly hope so.
It is not his job to satisfy democrats lust for revenge.
If there is an impeachment hearing then he is required to be there. There is no requirement for him to agree to the proceedings in order to show up
One day we will find some “Constitution Defenders” that actually know what’s in the Constitution.
I wonder when that will be…
They were against authoritarianism, and wanted freedom within the entire nation.
That is a very Pollyanna view of the Founding Fathers.
But what I do think about them is that they would not have taken too kindly to a President trying to cling on to power so much that a mob of his supporters would storm the Capitol and trash the place while some yelled to hang the Vice President while a gallows was set up nearby.
I don’t think that they would be mealy mouthed in their response to that.
The impeachment? No there isnt

Looking forward to you showing it is in his job description to preside over the impeachment trials of former Presidents, we know it’s not in the constitution.
I wonder when that will be…
Tomorrow at noon. Spread the word.
If you don’t like your Congresspersons then vote them out. Easy peasy
Exactly. Or do a constitutional amendment.
Easy easy.
