There will be no fair trial in the Senate.
Every Senator swore an oath to do impartial justice... but whatever. They're going to hide behind critiques of the House Judiciary Committee's drafting skills to avoid seeking the truth.
Murkowski yesterday night:

Sept. 4, 2019 - During the Hurricane Dorian fiasco...

National Weather Service: “Are you sure they were doctored? Was Alabama never in the come to that extent?“

NOAA: “Yes, that was doctored.”

NOAA Asst. Administrator: “Remarkably, our forecaster signs his work. At least his critics should too.”
NOAA official: “People across [the] agency are hurting...not just those directly involved.”

The Galanis case was the source of the bank records showing payments from Burisma to an LLC that paid Hunter Biden, the documents that have largely fueled Trump and Giuliani’s quest in Ukraine.
The Galanis case is largely unrelated to Biden, but the LLC (owned by Biden’s co-board member Devon Archer) was used to transfer money used in a bond fraud scheme and so some of its bank statements were introduced by SDNY in an 2018 trial, kicking off this whole shebang.
A cautionary tale to corporate lawyers if nothing else—commingling unrelated funds in a multipurpose LLC reliably leads to all sorts of cataclysms.

Graham apparently got Sen. Alexander to sign on to a question premised on the idea that John Bolton’s testimony would not be outcome determinative
This goes to something that’s been at the back of my mind. It was arguably a total blunder for McConnell to set up this first upcoming vote as a vote on the *idea* of witnesses and evidence rather than a vote to simply dismiss the articles.
Most arguments the WH has been making are essentially arguments to dismiss—that the articles as written could never justify impeachment. They’re not great ones, imo, but they’re normal. McConnell’s rules put them in this place of being against the Kantian ideal of evidence too.

The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the "sole power of impeachment."

This week, pursuant to that power, the House impeached President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Now the Senate must hold a fair impeachment trial for the President. 1/
The Constitution does not mandate many aspects of such a trial, but does require that Senators "shall be on oath or affirmation" when sitting for an impeachment trial.

Senate rules historically specify an oath to "do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws."
That oath was used in 1798, when many of those who helped draft the Constitution were still serving in government.

The Constitution's provisions and their historical interpretation clearly point to the desire for a fair impeachment trial.

That is what House Democrats want. 3/

More evidence the Dems are searching for a way out of their two-year "treasonous collusion" campaign: @tedlieu told @ChrisCuomo he now believes, after some reflection, the best result of the Mueller investigation would be if Trump is found completely innocent, because he...
...doesn't want the country to be in a situation wherein the president colluded with a foreign power.

It has begun.
Full quote (asked by Cuomo what he'd consider impeachable behavior based on what Lieu has seen so far): "Well let me first say this - there was a question I was asked a few months ago about what would be the best results of the Mueller probe, and I had to think about that for....

Here is an actual clause of the #USConstitution:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 3

#buescher
#nominee
#Nebraska
Suppose that Article VI had a further Clause, Clause 4, that stated, “no racial identity shall ever be the basis for a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
Now, such a clause would prohibit the President from granting or withholding an office based on racial identity, and, in like vein, would prohibit the Senate from withholding consent to a nomination, or granting it, on the basis of racial identity.
