Dershowitz said that he wants to "prove" that the Articles are null and void. That they are not only not impeachable crimes, but they are not even Constitutional.I find YOU ridiculous. Why don't you try READING THE CONSTITUTION. It says a president shall be impeached for high CRIMES and MISDEMEANORS (lesser crimes), such as TREASON and BRIBERY. Crimes are against the law. Laws are written down in books. You can look them up. Every impeached president in history was impeached for a crime that was against the law, except Donald Trump.
Abuse of Power IS NOT A CRIME in any book of law.
Obstructing Congress is NOT A CRIME in any book of law.
He was impeached because the Democrats feared they still couldn't beat him, and they simply ran out of time looking for anything better than bogus, drummed up accusations.
And that's why the impeachment will be thrown out of court like Dershowitz said it will be ----------- oh wait.
Using the Clinton impeachment rules there will be a vote to dismiss before the vote for witnesses. Any bets its dismissed without having any witnesses?
Mitch wants to avoid the circus, and Trump's "dream team" will prove the articles are void very quickly and avoid the circus show trial.
Trump’s dream team isn’t going to “prove” anything. Their strategy is merely to introduce doubt.
Article-1 is a non-crime that is based on hearsay, which is not allowed in the senate. So Article-1 is dead.
Article-2 was killed by the USSC when they took the Trump v House subpoena for his tax records, which proves that Trump does have due process rights and that is NOT "Obstruction of the House", which isn't even a thing.
The Senate doesn’t pass rules until next week. Your claim that hearsay is against the rules is factually incorrect.
Dershowitz is claiming that impeachment must contain a criminal violation. That is clearly not what the founders intended.
Correct. Why rely on a constitutional scholar when we have you to tell us what the founders intended?
