Opening arguments in the former president's second impeachment trial are expected in the Senate on Wednesday.

. In 1876 the Senate rejected a motion to dismiss the trial of former Secretary of War William Belknap, affirming that the chamber did have the power to try him.pointed to several other examples, including the attempted censure of former President James Buchanan in 1862—the year after he left office.

Hawley said on Wednesday that the Senate had more important issues to consider, pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects.

Sounds like some senators need a refresher course on the Constitution.

Americans need to see what our lawmakers went through on January 6th. This is not or should not be a political issue as it is strictly about our American Democracy. John Doe or Donald Trump do not have the right by law to plan, incite and execute violence against our government.

You must be reading from the same constitution that treats blacks and Latinos as second class citizens, while declaring that 'ALL MEN ARE BORN EQUAL'!...Right?

Josh Hawley is FOS

Unfit for office. Does not know the constitution. Hawley should be recalled by the insurgents who elected him and replaced with a patriot who will act to uphold the supreme law of the land.

He is being tried for crimes occurring during office. If Hawkings prefer the FBI to arrest DJT, put him in jail until trial with out bail. No bail for terrorists. Then have a criminal trial instead. Most Americans think Trump is guilty and would be fine with it.

Josh Hawley’s time is coming because he himself supported and incited those on Jan 6th.

Thats okay. When the Senate gets done with him, New York gonna get his ass.

This man is a sociopath.

It has become painfully obvious that Republicans don't know what's actually IN the Constitution, and that everything they don't like is 'un-Constitutional'

Well, we already know what a liar he is. I’m not sure he has a grasp of what’s happening.

FBI is investigating him too.

Constitution allows peaceful protest in front of his house....... he looked good though fist pumping the GOP mob.

Josh Hawley is a stupid bitch.

This guy probably liked Trump’s slogan grab’em by 🐱 too... looser !

It doesn’t allow for fomenting insurrection like he did.

This young man is so juvenile. Is this the caliber of people the publicans find to represent them? BottomOfTheBarrel

He’s wrong

LemStraw Josh Hawley says a whole lot of SH*T. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

What drivel. Donald Trump WAS impeached WHEN he WAS POTUS45. SenateGOP CHOSE to delay Senate trial past 1/20/21.

This is why Josh should resign. He can't decipher the Constitution correctly.

In addition to claiming it’s unconstitutional, Hee-Hawley says the Senate should be focusing on COVID relief. So what are the odds he will actually vote for the relief bill when it’s time?

Obviously, Hawley hasn't read the Constitution...Sad, since he swore an oath to uphold it. Oh, wait, so did his buddy Trump, and we ALL know how that turned out!

So what? I don’t think what he has to say carries much weight. He has proven himself to a liar and sycophant. Why even report that?

The Constitution also doesn't state that political parties should exist, let alone intervene in the impeachment process.

Constitution does allow Hawley to be removed.

Liar. He knows 2hat he's saying isn't true, yet he says it anyway. GOPDomesticTerrorists GOPComplicitTraitors

Hawley says lots of stupid shit. He doesn't want Trump impeached because he know he would be next for causing 1/6/21. Hawley needs to sit TF down.

Come on, Josh Howley just wants to shift the focus back to the real important stuff, like opposing every single Biden cabinet nominee and obstructing progress in general.

Josh thinks blowing up a federal building in Oklahoma was justifiable so his opinion is kinda warped.

Has he actually read the Constitution? Seems many who claim something about it have not taken the time to actually read and understand it.

The Republicans say, get over it! Let them repeat that face to face to the families of those who died or were injured in the trial

GQP

I can't fathom what kind of compromising information the people in the shadows have on HawleyMO, tedcruz and others that support Trump to this extent. It's gotta be REALLY bad. Their families will eventually learn all about it.

Josh Q. Hawley

It doesn’t allow for traitors to be in the House of Representatives, but there he is

😂

Traitors opinions are not considered credible

I remember when I started, they thought it was a joke, now they all want to be a part of it.. well, the sky is wide enough for all the birds to fly. Invest in Bitcoin today and be forever grateful.. dm lisaMakT for more information

By trying to drive a sword through the ❤of democracy and the Constitution Josh Hawley has the same credibility on this issue as Lucifer does on virtue

This man will be remembered for his colossal ineptitude and moral cowardice.

And Josh would know...
