Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have a question for Rand Paul and others who insist this trial is unconstitutional.
Do you intend to participate in this "unconstitutional" trial?
You certainly can't be intending to actually vote because that would be, in your "sincere" opinion, a knowing violation of the US Constitution which you revere.
So, why are you folks even attending this "disgraceful unconstitutional political stunt"?
Or, could it be that you are just attention whores who have no intent to do anything beyond raising hell and competing for "Pompous Ass of the Year"?

OP
If they really think it's unconstitutional they should get up and leave.

If Tяump still thinks he's president, why does he think he can't be convicted?

And that would be excellent, because conviction in an impeachment trial requires yes votes of two-thirds of those present.

He says he's still the president, but argues the trial is unconstitutional because he's not.
He can't have it both ways.
