You're the one that came up with an implausible explanation to defend the honesty of some kook.
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
Not according to the US constitution.
I didn't come up with anything. The lawyer himself stated a reason for retraction which is not only plausible, it is the simplest and most obvious explanation. I have no interest or desire in defending Trump or his legal team. I also have no reason to believe this lawyer is a kook or dishonest, though I don't know anything at all about him, and I don't particularly care.
OK, will you go on the record as saying he will be acquitted even with a secret ballot?
What was it? I've had to take a few breaks, and probably missed it.
Art. I, sec. 5https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/article-i/clauses/760I stand corrected, it would take 20 senators to force it to be public.
AP dead or Obi dead?
Not sure how you are reading it, but to me that seems like a very strong bias towards political accountability built into the constitution.
I meant Castor, not Schoen. He's the lawyer who's talking now, on Trump's defense team. I can't understand what point he's trying to make right now on the Senate floor, and he's been going on for about half an hour.
The constitution explicitly allows secret ballots, regardless of which way it is biased.
If impeachment is a political process (and the only justification for it happening is that argument) shouldn't people have to take political responsibility for their votes?
How does that in any way insinuate that what I said isn't true? I'll quote it for you so you can practice your reading comprehension -
Will there be a secret ballot? IINM it would take 10 senators to force it not to be secret, which is very likely not to happen. A secret ballot will likely mean conviction (Liz Cheney won the secret vote), but an open ballot gives Trump much better odds of acquittal. So the question is if the Dem leaders prefer to satisfy their base and remove the threat of a future run by holding a secret ballot vote, or they prefer to divide (& conquer) the GOP by putting it to open ballot and letting the GOP voters fight with each other and leave the door open for Trump to destroy the party with future runs/Patriot party.
What about the congressman who died from covid? Is he eligible to vote?
Can the Dems use mail in ballots?What about the congressman who died from covid? Is he eligible to vote?
