    Why is it.....every damn time the left looses under the rule of law.....they want, no they demand the constitution be changed or ignored? Trump wins, do away with the EC, Trump is impeached...shred the rule of law and make HEARSAY testimony valid. Now you want the constitution changed to make what is supposed to be TRANSPARENT to the bosses of the these Congress critters...THE PEOPLE... critters (both house and senate)...hidden and not transparent? ITS THE PEOPLE that are actually voting.....not these pompous ass elite LIFETIME CAREER politicians. So...you are supposed to VOTE YOUR HEART regardless of what hidden reason lies within....instead of actually REPRESENTING your constituents and making a decision based upon the rule of law and its fundamental protections?

    What surprises me....Is how anyone could vote to convict (remove)…..when there was no evidence of a single law being broken. That is if you believe in and accept the US RULE OF LAW. Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason, she does not convict upon FEELINGS or SUBJECTIVE EMOTIONS (hearsay)…..she convicts or acquits based upon OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE that results in guilt beyond a reason of any sane person to doubt.

    Why does it not surprise anyone that a fascist leftist wants things to be done in the shadows so they will not have to answer to the voice of THE PEOPLE?

    The only way a free republic works is through TRANSPARENCY.....when you start having basement, sealed and hushed hearings....hidden away from the peoples comprehension.....YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, you are becoming a fascist banana totalitarian republic instead of a REPRESENTATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC

    Nope. Every member of the House and the Senate should be held to the responsibility of what they vote.

    No, it wouldn't.

    So you are saying the Democrats want to lose their seats.

    Fine. I'm okay with that.

    That they will. That's why the Democrats in the Senate will lose even more seats.

    Careful what you wish for Trump would likely have been acquitted by a 7/8 majority, huh? NAH! Never happen Democrats HATE Mob ain't that honest, or for that matter honest at all!
    There IS one good idea floating around, that is to require 3/5ths of the House to pass articles of impeachment, rather than the simple majority it now is.
    Don't think that proposed amendment will get far until after the election though. This is being proposed by a Senator from Florida.

    why is it that whenever lefties/righties want something bad enough, they are willing to surrender their own republic and the power of the people to get it?????
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Not a peep about the EC being archaic or out of date until Hillary got her ass kicked under its provisions.

    not that I like supporting or defending anything you have to say, but at least here you are right about something. During the whole run up to the election, I seem to remember a shit ton of idol worshiping liberals crowing about how trump doesn't have the electoral votes to win.............

    Don't be shocked when they say Obama also won the popular vote.

    That would be a valid response if the Constitution also said you had to win the popular vote, too. No mention of popular votes at all when electing a President. In fact, the founders didn't believe the general public should vote for President. The only reason a State's popular votes determine how its EV's are divided is because the States themselves chose to do it that way.
