Originally posted by Sparko View PostJim, just like a judge can toss out a case that has no actual evidence, so can the Senate. They already know what the articles say and what evidence the Democrats have presented (i.e. none) and so McConnell can say that it is going nowhere. That is not ignoring his oath. That is upholding the constitution.

If these witnesses have evidence that would convict Trump, why didn't the House call them?
It is up to the House to provide the evidence to support their case. If they can't then the case drops.
They haven't proved anything.

Just like the House is the sole owner of "Impeachment", and can make their own rules, the Senate is the sole owner of "Convict and Remove", and can make their own rules.
US Senate: Impeachment
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

But closer to home, can you not see what is wrong with
(1) supporting trump interfering with the investigation by commanding witnesses not to honor the subpoenas
(2) claiming it is the Houses fault that they were unable to get stronger evidenceMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

I think it just goes to show what a political animal impeachment has become.
The Democrats are moving forward on an ENTIRELY partisan basis, using focus groups to try to figure out how to sell their message. The MSM is in lockstep with them to sell this impeachment, so it's AMAZING that support for impeachment isn't closer to 80%! And the Republicans in the Senate know that they have the votes to shut this thing down.
The Democrats have, obviously, made a political calculation that, even though they know they can never prevail in removing Trump, it somehow benefits them politically to stay in power in the House, and maybe gain the Senate and the Executive.
It's nuts!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The source you linked to says:
The rest doesn't matter because the key point is in the first few words, that the House must vest a committee with subpoena power. This never happened during the impeachment inquiry because the matter was never put up for a vote.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
