This would have to be the most bizarre twist of this whole election.

Meanwhile, Leahy probably laughing his butt off at all the speculation since he probably just has a cold

I’m willing to take the purgatory rap. I’ll say of him what I said if RBG: if he’ll retire and stop injuring my country, then I wish him another 100 years. Failing that he can’t kick of (of natural causes) fast enough for me

Whoa. That mean if Leahy can’t attend (or dues) the Pubs have control of the Senate.

was just sworn-in to preside over the impeachment trial.

I thought the trial is going to be in February. Why would they be swearing him in now. Seems a bit bogus info.

Perhaps God will preside. He knows that President Trump would never promote violence.

I hope nothing serious, but it is a serious breach of any standard anyone could name to pretend this character will be any sort of objective and fair presiding judge at an impeachment trial.

As aged-out as the Democrats are, it’ll be surprising if a whole passel of them don’t kick the bucket over the next couple of years — Biden included.

Lots of room for Republican picks...

Who could name a temporary replacement should a vacancy occur, with a special election to be held within six months:

Leahy is 80 years old.

There is one better in history

Benjamin Wade was President Pro Temp and because there was no VP he would have been POTUS if Johnson had been removed.

The Chief Justice despised Wade and even changed the oath just in case he had to swear him in.

So, given Rand Pauls vote today where 45 senators stated opposition to this charade, is this the dimrats “out”?
