Both Lindsey Graham ("I'm not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here") and Mitch McConnell ("I'm not impartial") made themselves very clear publicly several times how they will vote. It wouldn't surprise me if Senate Democrats made a motion to disqualify these two individuals at the beginning of the Senate hearing. Oh the motion may not pass because the Republicans hold the majority. BUT what these two declared before the hearing begins will forever be on record Could there be others?
Depends whether Justice Roberts will allow the motion or if it's even made.
I should have added the motion could only be made after they've taken the oath as having violated it. Who knows maybe Justice Roberts brings it up himself or rules on it without having to require votes taken? Hey ya never know.
ReplyDeleteLet us also keep in mind if the House votes impeachment.. he's impeached.. PERIOD. The Senate's duty is to decide whether he should be removed from office. They cannot un-impeach him.
