Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said he would force a procedural vote on the trial on Tuesday afternoon, in what will amount to the first test of how Senate Republicans view the upcoming trial, which will start in earnest the week of February 8. Several Republican leaders said Tuesday they planned to vote with Paul that the trial was not constitutional because Trump is no longer President, in what's become the most common argument from Republicans to acquit Trump.
Several Republicans have pointed to the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts will not be presiding over the trial, while the Constitution says the chief justice should preside for the trial of a president."That would send a pretty clear signal to me what Roberts thinks of the whole thing," said Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, who declined to say how he would vote on Paul's motion.
Excuse me but a jury is supposed to be unbiased!
Yes, but the Republicans do not know what upholding an oath means. They are still calling the Mob Boss, Trump.
Sham
Republican voters who care about our country and want Trump impeached by the Congress should withdraw from the Republican Party NOW to tell those Republican senators that you disapprove their attitude toward Trump's impeachment.
WITH THIS APP YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE ALL THE STATUSES OF WHATSAPP COMPLETELY FREE.
This is a fucking joke! You have no idea how this fuels the long lasting destructive effects for this country. Serves to further divide this country not unify. Damn you people! 😡
After a career as a prosecutor, it seems stupid to swear in jurors who have expressed clearly they will not vote for sustaining the petition. If they evidence is clear, the gall to note vote for conviction is a clear slap in the face of duty. Political duty is the swamp
Did they swear to tell the truth?
Another oath that apparently will carry little weight and substance
Senate GOP decides, 'Trump's impeachment trial is unconstitutional because he is no longer in office.' It doesn't matter to them if he is guilty. Senate Republicans found a way around 'not convicting' or 'convicting' Trump of insurrection and yet they can still get re-elected.
45 of them have already violated the oath. They who voted against the constitutionality of the trial should be recused from participating.
What’s the point of swearing them in, they don’t follow their oath of office?
Its not just about removing a president who has already been removed. Its about setting a precedent of holding accountable every president who does atrocious things on their way out of office.
They are liars swearing to God?
& many repub will lie through their teeth!!!!!!
Do your jobs. Your so afraid to cast a vote. That’s what you are paid to do.
GOP has already demonstrated an oath is meaningless to them. RepublicanParty will forever be known as TreasonParty unless they find their lost ethics and vote for justice. GOP SenateGOP impeachment
I hope the juror’s do the right thing and NOT BE AFRAID OF TRUMP OR HIS GOONS
For the dummies out there: This isn't a criminal trail. It's called a Political trail. The so called Jurors are 100 Senators. 67 of those 100 is needed to vote yes for conviction. It's beyond reasonable doubt that Trump will be acquitted since Dems don't have the 67 needed.
Where’s RandPaul ‘s mask? Isn’t it a law now to wear a mask on gov’t property? WhiteHouse JoeBiden HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateGOP SenateDems Corona coronavirus Accountability COVID19
Screw you Chuck Screw you Mitch and last but not least Fuck you Fake News CNN
Why Sworn them at all? A trial which the Jurors saying publicly which way they will vote and the verdict is known to all before the Jurors are seated can't be called a trial. Here is the Verdict. Donald J. Trump is acquitted from all charges.
Why should we believe Senators that swear an oath to be fair and impartial, when they've already made up their minds how they're going to vote?
Who is paying for this ? Oh lord please give this up ! You are wasting the tax payers time . I’m sure that there are much much more important things to do ?
Why does Rand Paul get to run around the Senate without a mask? Did we not mandate that ALL have to wear masks in Federal facilities? Fine him
