The Senate should have a secret vote of impeachment.

[pknopp]

I'm NO Trump supporter but I do not support a secret vote. Nothing the Senate does should be secret.

I agree, it should be public, and they express their reasoning for their vote!

I just wish we had senators that had some Profiles in Courage...

Republicans have already made it clear they value loyalty to Trump over loyalty to country or loyalty to party.

They will condemn the attacks but not mention Trump.
The vote should be open, but it will be a farce as Republicans have no spine

To be fair, during the Clinton impeachment Byrd said that what Clinton did was an impeachable offense but he would not vote guilty.

Then no intimidation, I think a lot of votes should be done in secret.

The Senate rules regarding the conduct of an impeachment trial, including ballot secrecy, require a simple majority (though a two-thirds majority is required for conviction).

No, the Republicans should grow a pair.

That will be the day!!

Bullshit. Nothing should be secret about this waste of tax dollars and time. Every part of this bull shit should be out there for any American who wants to watch it.

What an idiot you are.

They had a secret vote for Cheney, why is this different?

The thread title is inaccurate. Here's the correct version:

The Show Trial should be rigged to dupe the public.

Not the trial, just the vote.

They are part and parcel, hun.

Show trials in Potemkin Congress with the full support of China's puppets Xiden the FICUS and Spread Eagle and a rigged secret vote...

...that's sure to make everything all Unity-y.

So you think we should elect those to represent us yet not know if they actually represent us or not? How does that make sense even in a liberal brain?

A secret ballot is a great idea but I wouldn't want it to be unanimous. Maybe 90-10 would work. Let the usual suspects like Ron Johnson, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Rand Paul vote to acquit. That way it gives the rest of these spineless sewer rats some plausible deniability.

It's truly sad isn't it? GOP votes these days are about retaining power - not at all about principle.

Look at impeachments , none have been removed, its a Senate trial!!

 

[SC Patriot]

Well, they don't.

Suck it.

Those who excuse criminal behavior are just as guilty as those who commit it.

Does that include our selected VP Kamala Harris who not only excused the behavior of those burning and looting American businesses but also provided material support to them?

Fake news, kiddo

Really? Kamala Harris on Twitter: "If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw" / Twitter

Protesting.

It's right there in the stuff you quoted.

I see you dont watch news. You watch opinion shows.

Just an FYI....10's of thousands protested this summer. The ones arrested were the looters and the arsons.

10's of thousands rallied on 1/6/.2021. The ones arrested were the anarchists.

No one set up a fund to bail out the anarchists.

Harris supported the fund to bail out the looters and arsonists.

It is what it is.

But she did NOT set up the fund for THEM.....not specifically for protesters...

The charity already existed, for poor people charged, who did not have the means, to get bail money....

The fund was set up for rioters who set fires and looted, who were poor.

No protestor who did nothing more than protest were arrested. Yes, perhaps held for questioning, but not arrested with a bail set.
