It's like a cross between "Inherit The Wind" and Scorcese's "Last Temptation of Christ."

Had to turn the speed-talking overly-cafferinated goon who's on right now off.

To quote the late, brilliant John Candy from SCTV, this guy sees himself as a real "t'underin lawyer."

He sort of fast forwarded to the crucifixion scene in "Last Temptation of Christ," with Trump as Christ.

His argument:

The world will laugh at us if we allow this unconstitutional process to continue.

They pulled a "good cop, bad cop" thing. Or tried to. Castor came out and attempted to kiss a lot of across the aisle ass before working his way into "we can't do this."

The twerp who is on right now is basically predicting the end of civilization as we know it if the trial is even held, let alone a trial resulting in a conviction.

That permanently baring Trump from holding public office is a bill of attainder.

My brain was sort of mush while I was typing that. Hung in there MUCH longer than I thought I'd be able to before finally turning him off.
