Trump is, as he so often reminds us, a truly disgusting human being. https://t.co/PZSGS4iVxI— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 15, 2019
Lindsay Graham runs a close second:
C'mon, @LindseyGrahamSC and @senatemajldr: Why not have the courage of your convictions and repeal the oath in Rule XXV of the Senate impeachment rules? Why pretend to respect the Constitution and the rule of law? Let's have our cynicism pure, without the base alloy of hypocrisy. https://t.co/5OvQFz9Mmo— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 14, 2019
So @LindseyGrahamSC, will you decline to take the required oath to do “impartial justice” at the start of the Senate trial? Or do you mean to swear it insincerely? https://t.co/rzkEyNERAu— Benjamin Wittes (@benjaminwittes) December 14, 2019
It's only words, right, Sen. Graham?
It's a corrupted jury. Its verdict can't be legitimate. That's only one of the problems with the impeachment process, it has never worked to protect us from any but one criminal president and it only worked because the Republicans decided that Nixon was going to cost them at the polls. It is a process that has corruption embedded into it. The Founders' remedy for keeping a president from being a gangster kind turns out to be really stupid.
