[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know - if Pelosi does take a vote for impeachment and it goes to the Senate, it will be interesting to see what a long, protracted trial will do to the campaigns of those in the Senate running for president. They cannot possibly actively participate in the trial AND campaign at the same time. Especially if the trial runs 6 days a week as McConnell has signaled it willl. [/quote] Unlike the depositions, everything in the trial will be public. [/quote] And before there is a Senate trail, there will be House open hearings. Rally, the whole "process" thing from the right is just deflection since they cannot defend the President on this. The longer this takes, the worse it is for the GOP.[/quote] Go listen to Steve Bannon's new podcast. He keeps hammering home that the "process" is so important - the GOP is not appreciating this and they need to get an upper hand on the "process" aspect. That's why they are staging these stunts and complaining: the GOP freaks out when it does not have control. I agree with Bannon that the "process" argument is really the GOP's only strategy right now. They don't have control, so they can't do anything except pull antics and make disingenuous arguments on TV. Nancy Pelosi needs to weigh this carefully. Once impeachment is handed off to the Senate, the Democrats will no longer control the process and will be ceding power back to the GOP.[/quote] I'm still not clear on this point. Doesn't the Chief Justice run the show once it goes to the Senate? I don't think that's giving power back tot he GOP. I think it's just taking the evidence to trial. I'm assuming the Chief Justice has red, understands, and will follow the constitution.[/quote] The Chief Justice runs the trial. But the Senate still decides on the rules of the trial. The Democrats are a minority party in the Senate and will be pretty much powerless to stop Republicans from pulling shenanigans. [/quote] Constitution says the CJ “presides over” the trial. Does anyone know what that meant in practice last time?[/quote]
