Leftist Yale professor says McConnell has no constitutional say over process

Opinion

Another professor from the leftist world of Yale makes me wonder about the intelligence of the people they hire. A history teacher named Timothy Snyder claims Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has no constitutional say over how the Senate impeachment trial will be conducted.

He claims only Justice Roberts, who presides over it, will have a say.

Snyder can’t understand why no one is talking about this. Really, Tim? So who has a say, the Queen of the House, Nancy Pelosi?

Roberts has gone rogue on some issues so, mission control, we could have a problem here. We doubt it, but we can’t rule it out. This sounds like another leftist dog whistle.

Snyder is looking for a civil war and, if Justice Roberts did by some quirk go along with him, there will be trouble.

We can’t disturb any constitutional lawyers today to ask them about it, but our take is this is BS. The Senate Majority will decide the President’s fate and they aren’t hostage to Nancy Pelosi or Minority guy Chuck.

The Chief Justice shall preside, but the Senators still have the sole power to set their trial procedures. We believe this is supported both in law and precedent.

It is subject to judicial review after the fact. The Senate can do as they wish.

We are sick of these Marxist professors. We have had enough of people rewriting history and the laws without constitutional authority.

SNYDER’S TWEETS

It is rather strange these commie prog “professors” are angling for a civil war. They apparently believe the Pentagon will blindly obey orders to attack patriot militias. What these idiots don’t recognize is that our military will, instead, arrest those issuing such orders. Or, to my delight, ignore those orders and allow the patriot militias to arrest those politicians. That would be the outcome that assures the safety of millions and sanctity of our republic. Not sure how those politicians will fare – probably not too well. Might be a report that states they were found in a deep lake, drowned as a result of having stolen more chains than they could swim with.

“Snyder is looking for a civil war ” Why would he wish for something that would ultimately end not only in his demise but the rest of the left as well ??

Cool story professor. Gawd, this dude lives in his safe space.
This whole ball of BS is being handed over to the Senate as is and Congress did what was required of them..
Congress’s job was to make the case and get evidence. We know how that went, heard it from a friend who.. Nancy rigged the Congress with a kangaroo court and it was pretty damn evident from cutting off Republicans rebuttal, to not allowing the President his own witnesses then off to demanding only certain witnesses for Trump defense which Trump denied (which the media reported as Trump refused ANY witnesses), CNN and Co. we are not that dense.and can see right past your BS.
This was a sideshow from the beginning and was destined to fall apart. You can’t impeach without evidence of wrong doing and hearsay doesn’t count. The Congress did not follow decorum and did not bring in the Trump admin to testify of his ability to lead which is step one of the impeachment process.
Botched from day one due to desperation and Nancy knows it that’s why she wants rig the Senate but Nancy is no Senator and this professor is making things up as liberals do.
Want more BS check out Wikipedias latest entry in Wikipedia all based of the Washington post:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment#United_States
Even though the Impeachment process is not done and their reference is a page describing the impeachment, no real source but themselves. This is the real state of left wing politics.

Mitch is so weak that he is vulnerable to pressure. The left knows this, they have seen his weak leadership a long time. But in this case he cannot give in, it would cost him his career. That’s where his self interest emerges over his weakness.

Even so, anything Mitch & Roberts are involved in is suspect. Mitch let this situation occur.
