I just saw the megathread on reddit that they got 56 votes in the senate that said the trial was constitutional. Does the fact they only got 6 Republican votes basically prove they're not gonna have near the votes necessary to actually convict Trump and following this whole drama is pointless?
It's probably pointless, and even if they get him they won't do anything. It's dogs chasing cars.
I think Deb's is the only presidential candidate to ever actually get nailed with the sedition acts (they made it for him) and Trump is too useful to them to actually put in prison.
It's the 1st impeachment, part 2.
Ignore and move along.
Thanks, one last question, is the impeachment trial and barring him from office the same thing and require the same amount of votes?
They need to go the whole 9 yards and convict him to stop him from running again I think, which ain't gonna happen.
Even if it did happen I don’t think it would stop him from running again. He’d just say it was an unconstitutional impeachment and the GOP would roll with it. Hell, Ted Cruz was literally born in Canada and they didn’t stop him from running.
