Expand Possibly. Defending a vote based on the legalese that was thrown around on constitutionality is a lot easier to defend than one based on evidence. Still doubtful of a conviction but interesting to say the least. Especially since a Republican moved over on this vote.
Unforgiven Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 "The latest Rasmussen Reports survey showed that just 31% of likely voters believe a conviction of high crimes and misdemeanors is at hand." lol...polls ...that means it's probably more like less than 1% 5 people on bbmb rofl. 1

Expand They polled the House a couple weeks ago if there were high crimes and the results came back bipartisan that over 50 percent thought there were. In the next week or so, they will poll the Senate and it again will come back with a result of over 50 percent believe there are and it will be bipartisan. 1

Expand When you say obvious is it because it had started and gotten through Congress before he left office already? my understanding is the other side is arguing constitutionality only because the process is intended to remove from office, but since he’s gone, it’s moot. The Constitution confers upon Congress the power to impeach and thereafter remove from office the President. To me that seems like it should the least debatable partisan topic.

Expand we did that already back when Ulysses S. Grant was President.

The point being though that the poll that matters are first the impeachment and second the conviction. I’d content, as sent a conviction to get 5 or more Rs to vote to convict would be big for the Dems. That also puts Trump as the only impeached president to vote bipartisan conviction votes not once but twice. It also gets rid of the this is a partisan witch hunt stigma. 2
SectionC3 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 On 2/9/2021 at 5:55 PM, Doc said: A "mostly peaceful protest." As similar events in the past have been defined by CNN. Expand Tell that to the family of the officer who was killed. I suspect their view is a bit different from yours. Then again, HCQ can increase the risk of dementia, so maybe that explains your forgetfulness as to the violence of the mob that overran the Capitol.

Expand It also paints Republican Senators who vote to acquit him as condoning the riots. The more video and images they show the worse it's going to look. 1
