Anything more than immediate dismissal is a violation of their oaths to the Constitution.

If impeachment is just a public relations stunt, the Democrats are taking on the wrong guy. President Trump lives for this stuff.

"If impeachment is just a public relations stunt, the Democrats are taking on the wrong guy. President Trump lives for this stuff."

Throughout the course of this five year farce pursuing Trump the Democrats have been acting out of blind, uncontrolled anger.

That has granted a tremendous advantage to the President.

I’d rather a quick dismissal.

I don’t trust most of the GOP Senators.

You gotta wonder how many times Dems and their Media pals must have secretly said in frustration, “Why the hell isn’t Trump folding under our presuure by now? Any other Republican would’ve surrendered long ago!!”

That’s their problem, they got used to generations of Republican get-along wimps ... so when they finally confront a real fighter, they’re shocked to find their usual intimidation isn’t working

Even more to their annoyance, Trump’s resolve has rubbed-off on other Republicans, like Mitch McConnell and the House Republicans ... no wonder the Dems are ticked off

Put the prosecution on trial. Expose who is pulling the strings and why. Document the sedition.

The audience that matters for the Senate Proceedings is American History

Accordingly, Senator McConnell will act and produce a result that will satisfactorily provide a precedent and comply with the constitutional responsibility of the Senate. Once the house has impeached, the Senate must consider the matter in formal detail. Although the voice is not very loud, history demands it.

I think this is especially true in light of the in arguable fact that the Democrats are going forward with impeachment solely to historically discredit forever President Donald J Trump who had the temerity to defeat their queen, Hillary Clinton. That fact is made prominent in the articles of impeachment.

What is happening at present is the creation of a historical damning of President Trump. The Democrats all know and understand their cause is lost in the present. The Democrats have therefore chosen to vindictively continue to destroy the president in the future.

The democrats know and understand that the Trump DOJ is going to destroy them. They are getting in their historical licks

I am an optimist by nature.

I think President Trump will get a second term. I think the Republicans will control the House. I think the Republicans will increase their power in the Senate. I think Trump will put at least 2 more people on the Supreme Court.

I think Nancy Pelosi is handing the entire government over to Donald Trump. I think we are in a Golden Age and it will continue and people will thank God for it and will know that the Democrats tried every dirty trick in the book to sabotage this great time.

For the sake of the Republic and to prevent nonstop impeachments in the future, the Senate needs to immediately dismiss. The dismissal should also come with a statement laying the groundwork for which they would even deem to consider an impeachment to merit conducting a trial. An impeachment inquiry must meet the standards of due process where rules of civil procedure are followed and the President, as the accused, has the right to be represented, cross-exam and present witnesses. Any articles of impeachment must state actual crimes and be accompanied by evidence that establishes the elements of the alleged crimes and would otherwise be admissible under rules of evidence. Any impeachment process begun in the House that does not meet these basic standards should be summarily dismissed.

1. If the Dems lose (as they should), they will kick and scream to their acolytes (the media) how unfair the process was, irregardless of the fact of how unfair their own process was in the House!. And the media will carry their water.

2. The Dems and their media will then carry this through the election, claiming Trump should have been removed from office but for the intransigence of the Repubs. The media will always carry the water of their Dem masters...

The seven dwarves from the House need to be continually chased around the circus ring, ridiculed, and humiliated, and for as long as possible, until they and their bogus witch hunt has both sickened and enlightened most of the American people. Those are merely live in America but are in favor of the single party state can't be swayed, and after their defeat in November, need never be listened to again. Thanks billorites.

I agree, but a future senate can do what it wants with 51 votes.

I like Rudy’s idea of having the SCOTUS rule the impeachment unconstitutional since no treason, bribery, or high crimes, etc are in the articles. That is the only way to prevent frivolous impeachments in the future.

Hoosier, while I think you have the best idea, I unfortunately agree with Lurkin on how likely the Republican Senate is to actually carry out this plan.

While it would be epic to have Biden & Co’s corruption put on display during a Senate trial, I fear that there would be a clique of 3-5 Senators that would side with the Dems to prevent the witnesses that would expose this corruption.
