One Critical Person Snubs Impeachment Trial
Jan 27, 2021
"We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men," said 1984 author George Orwell.
Our U.S. Constitution only allows for impeachment to remove "the" president not "a" former president. The attempt to impeach Trump after he has left office is wholly unconstitutional.
What is surprising is that five Republican senators—before the trial has even begun—stated they support continuing this sham impeachment. In addition, there is another shocking deviation of the impeachment sham that recently surfaced. We’ll share more below.
But first, send your critical fax to key senators to fight against the U.S. Senate's unconstitutional trial. - Your Faith & Liberty team
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has refused to preside over a kangaroo trial. Article 1, section 3 of the Constitution states that the Chief Justice shall preside over the impeachment trial in the Senate.
Instead, Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy will preside over the trial as judge to the jury. Sen. Leahy is the longest serving Democrat in the Senate. He already voted once to convict Trump. Now this overtly biased senator will take the gavel to guide the second Senate trial! This is a sham akin to a repressive regime.
At Faith & Liberty, our focus has always been on upholding the Constitution. We are not partisan, but we believe the U.S. Senate needs to hear from you right now to stop this unconstitutional show trial.
There are four main reasons why this impeachment trial is wrong:
Impeachment is ONLY for removal of a person from office. The Senate has no authority to convict a private citizen. Left unchecked, any majority party could impeach any private citizen and thereby ban them from ever running for office.
Impeachment is divisive and being used to silence opposition to socialism.
There was no due process in the House. No witnesses. No evidence. No defense. This is reminiscent of the Russian Gulag—a process intentionally void of any due process.
Only the Chief Justice can preside over the Senate trial of a president, and he has refused to participate. A senator who voted to convict Trump in the last impeachment has no authority to preside.
This process is a complete repudiation of everything our nation was founded upon. And it is just a steppingstone from Trump to silencing YOU.
Amazon made the phony claim that it was forced to drop Parler. However, Amazon profits from selling more than 200 items that promote violence, including riot gear. Amazon even offers "violent products [that] included a flag with a graphic image of Trump blowing his brains out, a mug with the slogan 'Where is Lee Harvey Oswald now that we really need him?' and a black T-shirt with a red slogan, 'Kill All Republicans.'"
Late yesterday, Senator Rand Paul led a point-of-order vote questioning the constitutionality of the impeachment trial. Republican senators who voted in support of this impeachment trial include Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey, Susan Collins, and Ben Sasse. Even Minority Leader McConnell initially released a statement that he was "looking forward" to the impeachment trial but appears to have changed his mind after hearing from many of you.
The prophet Jeremiah comforts his people with the reminder, "'Am I a God who is near,' declares the Lord, 'And not a God far off?'" I ask you to join me in praying for our nation.
We have two options – remain silent or peacefully push back against this lawlessness. In just a few days, Biden has managed to make Canada and the unions mad and has been sued by Texas.
Biden now holds the record for the shortest time in office before a federal court ruled against him. A Texas federal judge blocked his freeze on deportations.
