    Simple - two words --- Hate Trump.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Dismissed.

      If a prosecutor tried to do the same at a criminal trial, it would also be dismissed by the court.
      For cryin out loud, the Democrats were reduced to introducing SIX NEWSPAPER EDITORIALS "into the record" to prove it is necessary to get rid of Trump!

      Can you imagine trying to pull that kind of stunt in any court in the land?

        Yes.

        Unfortunately an entire generation is being taught that this is legitimate.

        • And, last night, Nutty Nadler declares a recess without consulting ANY Republicans, including the minority leader, showing what a kangaroo court he's running.

          "It is now very late at night," Nadler said shortly before midnight in Washington. "I want the members on both sides of the aisle to think about what has happened over these last two days, and to search their consciences before we cast their final votes. Therefore, the committee will now stand in recess until tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., at which point I will move to divide the question so that each of us may have the opportunity to cast up-or-down votes on each of the articles of impeachment, and let history be our judge."

                The actual argument is that the impeachment is so clearly baseless and unconstitutional that it should be dismissed outright, rather than legitimized in any way. I agree with that. It is NOT the approach Trump desires. He wants to call in a bunch of witnesses, including Joe Bumblin' and the leakblower, and see them thoroughly slapped around. I think his reasoning is manifold, including --

                -- He's spiteful, and wants a lot of payback

                -- He thinks muddying up Bumblin' and the others during the election season would benefit him in the fall.
                They should call Nadler, Schiff and Pelosi as witnesses and ask them under oath about their sham.

                • In an absolutely STUNNING development, the committee votes along strict party lines to pass Article 1!

                        • For the first time in the history of the US, Articles of Impeachment are passed to the House on a STRICTLY partisan basis.

                          Remember Nadler declaring that should NEVER happen? (At 2 minutes 30 seconds)

                              I don't think any on this committee were expected to defect -- it's when it moves to the whole House that we expect to see some defections.

                                If that's what Trump wants, then that's what he'd get since the unprincipled Moscow Mitch is coordinating with the White House on how to conduct this trial. Lets see if that's what he really wants?
