Suggested Amendments to Senate Rules for a Fair Impeachment Trial
By Wolf Howling
The House is running a Star Chamber proceeding that is not a constitutionally adequate "impeachment inquiry." Instead, it is the culmination of a three-year long bad faith effort to overturn the 2016 election without regard to the will of the people, precedent, and due process. If the Senate is not careful and does not adjust its current procedures accordingly, then the House will use the Senate trial to make a mockery of our Constitution.
Ironically, though, simply dismissing Articles of Impeachment outright may deprive President Donald Trump of the opportunity to defend himself in the court of public opinion. He needs an opportunity to rebut, in public, the way in which Rep. Adam Schiff has conducted an impeachment using daily leaks to the media.
House Democrats, many of whom were at least complicit in pushing the Russian hoax (the single greatest political scandal in America's history), appear to be misusing impeachment to achieve two ends: (1) to launch a collateral attack on the Barr / Durham investigation into the Russian Hoax and (2) to overturn the 2016 election or, failing that, to achieve an unearned electoral victory in the 2020 election. If a passive Senate allows the impeachment trial to go forward under current rules, it will do a grave injustice to this country.
