"Nothing in the Constitution, in the history of impeachment, or in the counterpart processes of the criminal justice system requires the Senate to suspend its independent judgment of whether the charges against the President actually warrant a trial."

- Judge Richard Posner
"Just as a regular criminal court can dismiss an indictment as insufficient without putting the defendant to the bother of a trial, so the Senate can properly dismiss articles of impeachment lodged with it by the house...
"...if it concludes that even if all the facts alleged in them are true they do not warrant removing the impeached official from office."

Posner, again, from his book on the Clinton Impeachment, AN AFFAIR OF STATE
