If what he did was criminal, why not pursue that instead of a purely political partisan process?  I know, the Dems want to completely destroy the GOP, and it might actually work.  Btw, see how easy it is to misspell a word.

1. The constitution only provides for impeachment for federal crimes by the President

2. The state of Georgia is waiting in the wings

Thankfully for Trump he has a jury that is committed to a not guilty verdict in an impeachment trial. That must be a real relief for him!

Simple answer encoded plainly in the Constitution: Impeachment is not a criminal trial.

It was really confusing until I listened to Claire McCaskill explain. I get it now. The rules don't let Lee make that kind of motion so he shouldn't be allowed to make it.

A juror cannot stand up and start telling the judge how the court is going to be run

I hear that when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the ... objection.

If you watched today's case against Trump, and are convinced that he should be acquitted, you are not paying attention.

That's kinder than what I would say but I take a leaf out of Boiler's book and stay within the TOS.

Most if my alternative phrases involved metaphors citing human anatomy inserted, I decided that the facts were clear enough that literary devices were unneeded and not worth a ban.
