Donald Trump’s lead attorney began his attack on the constitutionality of the former president’s impeachment trial not on legal argument but on a political one, saying moving ahead means “impeachment will become the rule, not the rare exception.”
“We can’t possibly be suggesting that we punish people for political speech in this country,” he said. And if people acted on those words “and they crossed the line, they should be locked up.”Rep. Jamie Raskin choked up repeatedly Tuesday as he recalled assuring his daughter, Tabitha, and son-in-law, Hank, that it would be safe to watch the House count Electoral College votes on Jan. 6.
“Senators, this cannot be the future of America,” said Raskin as he choked up. “We cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government and our institutions because they refuse to accept the will of the people under the Constitution of the United States.”Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I.
In 1876, the House impeached Belknap on five articles including “criminally disregarding his duty as Secretary of War and basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain.” Near the end, the short film has the president’s social media post that protestors should “go home with love and in peace.”“Senators, the president was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives on Jan. 13 for doing that. You ask what a high crime and misdemeanor is under our Constitution? That is a high crime and misdemeanor. If that’s not an impeachable offense, then there is no such thing.”The U.S. Capitol looks a lot different for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial.
Each fence is guarded by a line of law enforcement officers and National Guard troops, who vet those seeking entrance. Many guardsmen are inside the building. One stopped to take a few photos as House managers walked over to the Senate before the trial commenced. “I know there are a lot of people who are dreading endless lectures about the Federalist papers,” Raskin said. “Please breathe easy.”
The House managers and Trump’s defense team will divide up to four hours for arguments about whether the case is constitutional. The Senate will then vote on whether to dismiss the case.

Trump should be impeached, it’s what he has coming. People died, the Capital was almost destroyed and there were actual deaths. Again, there is no doubt that Trump should be impeached.

Washington has been corrupted with democrat impeachment circus 2.0. They have total disregard for the law and the immediate needs of the American people. It’s frankly putrid, the swamp strikes back, it’s just sad
You mean after the Democrats said it was constitutional since they have the majority!
