That whole article is bogus. The House wants to hold a secret trial. Is that Constitutional? The Left have been trying to delegitimize the 2016 election from the beginning. This is a coup against the President and the nation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the warm and fuzzies witnessing the Left repeatedly march themselves up before the American people with their ridiculous hoaxes...only to find themselves brutally b!tch-slapped by the truth time and time again. But, now that the Left has fallen to civil disorder and violence as their last resort, I'm in favor of something a bit more demonstrative of how middle America truly feels about the Left's subterfuge than the usual b!tch-slapping. It's time. Edited October 14, 2019 by hacktorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. Except, Trump hasn’t been trying to void the Constitution. That is entirely the realm of the Left. Who is it that has been trying to rewrite the 1st and 2nd Amendments? He is not declaring impeachment as unconstitutional. He’s calling out illegal secret trials by the House as unconstitutional. Bring on a constitutional impeachment, I demand it! But Pelosi won’t because it would do in the Left for good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both hold one but it is the one in the Senate that counts. The Left know that it won’t get traction in the Senate but they can hope that the spectacle will effect the 2020 election. They are running out of time and their miscalculation will backfire. Now that they have a witness that can’t be identified or cross-examined (that was their problem with the Kavanaugh trial), they can spew out anything they want. But this will fizzle out and in the last few months, Antifa and BLM will begin to riot in the streets and people are going to get hurt and they’ll blame Trump. Mark my words.

The House is trying to find a way to mask the identity of the whistleblower by having him testify from a secret location and not allowing Republicans to ask questions. This is unconstitutional. How far do you think that will get in the Senate? The President has the constitutional right to confront his accuser. If this gets to the Senate and the President doesn’t get this Right, then it will be a sham and unconstitutional. All will be revealed in the Senate. That’s why it won’t get that far.

So what crisis is there? If they refuse to come forward if needed(i'm convinced there will be enough evidence and witnesses otherwise when it's all said and done) then I can see it. But right now during the investigation...he has NO RIGHT to demand they be outed or "face him" for any other reason beyond intimidation.

Sondland and Esper has instructed the pentagon to co operate too. in fact there is even talk that the 'whistleblower' might not even be needed to make testimony. Trump is fast running outta tricks and distortions. With any luck the most divisive and traumatic presidency the U.S. has ever known is fast reaching its climatic end !

What is the spirit of the law? Would ypou prefer a government that has secret tribunals with hooded judges? I think you may be mistaken @Earl.Of.Trumps ? As I understand it, @Farmer77 is correct: the constitution gives Congress carte-blanche to create its own procedural rules for each individual case of impeachment. (up to and including pointy hats ) It also makes the point that the GROUNDS for impeachment would almost certainly be political, not criminal, events. Accordingly, the "trial" is a political one, not a criminal one. Edited October 14, 2019 by RoofGardener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senate trial is a continuation of the House impeachment. All the ground work is laid there. If there is no cross-examination in the house, then the impeachment is worthless. Which goes to the point that the house is setting up a public lynching of the President before he has a chance to defend himself. This is why it won’t get this far because there is nothing there. If it does then there will be charges of treason on those that perpetrated it and Pelosi’s head will be at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
