I 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"?

If they really think it's unconstitutional they should get up and leave. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2021 #1
But a vote for disqualification does not require 2/3's. turtleblossom Feb 2021 #3
True, but they have to convict him first. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2021 #4
If Tяump still thinks he's president, why does he think he can't be convicted? turtleblossom Feb 2021 #2

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.
