[quote=Anonymous]So, this whole process is like a constitutional candy store for Con Law geeks. Consider all of the questions and theories Trumps defenders have thrown out there, and then read this passage from page 53 of a classic Constitutional law textbook, in the very first chapter on Judicial Review, in the notes and questions: "7. .... Does a presidential impeachment by the House and removal by the Senate raise justiciable issues? What if the President claims that the allegations against him do not constitute "high crimes and misdemeanors?" What if the President claims that the actions of the House or Senate were procedurally defective -- e.g., his pleading of the Fifth Amendment was improperly found to be evidence of guilt; or that biased Senators did not recuse themselves; or other Senators only heard parts of the trial; or that in the middle of the lengthy impeachment process there was an election of Congressmen and the two Houses did not begin the process anew after the election?" Rotunda, Modern Constitutional Law cases and notes Third ed. (1989) These, of course, are meant to be hypothetical questions for discussion and debate among law students and are not real claims or situations, nor are they answered anywhere. But it is as if someone on the far right read them and has people running around trying to raise these exact hypothetical situations.[/quote]
