Sen. Chuck Schumer Calls Alan Dershowitz's Impeachment Logic 'A Load Of Nonsense' | MSNBC"

    1. There’s not really anything he can do about it. The Chief Justice’s constitutional role in impeachment trials is very limited. The primary reason they preside over impeachment trials is to fill the Vice President’s Senate position to prevent conflicts of interest. They also, make legal rulings when asked but any such ruling can be overturned with a majority vote of the Senate. If the eventual vote over witnesses ends up tied, the CJ would get the tie breaking vote. That would be about the only thing useful he could do.

  1. Dershowitz joined in on Epstein’s escapades too. In his mind anything is OK as long there is something in it for him.

    1. George Layton
      It is a lie, Dershowitz never went anywhere with Epstain but Clinton went with Epstain more than 15 times on those famous trips…Check your facts.

    2. Dershowitz had a massage in the south Florida parlour but kept his underwear on.Now he is an underwear model hehehe

  2. “President believes …” Who knows who believes what? Trump seems to believe he’s a stable genius – I believe he’s a psycho-/sociopath.

    1. @dryhumor foe what are you going to do when the inevitable happens in november, threaten to move to canada, but stay bc your mom won’t give you bus fare?

    2. Some ignorant idiots actually believe the Demoncraps 🤣🤣🤣😄😀😃😀😃😀😃😂😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    3. @Perro dehont Sounds like something Schiff would say, with no evidence…The only riots or upheaval I observed was Demonrat socialsts smashing windows burning cars when Trump won.
      Didnt see any Republicans do any of that when Obama won… twice!!

    1. If we were a Democracy, we would be like “African Democracies”. We, much to the disappointment of the DemonRats, are a Republic. The Demonrats are trying to Democratize us like those in Africa.

    1. @Andy C – Not true. Millions of Republican votes don’t count in California and NY. They might as well NOT vote. And thats what many do. And, for liberals its true…if the clear majority of CA are voting Democrat, why go vote? Don’t vote…the outcome would be the same. THIS MAKES PEOPLE NOT VOTE. This is why millions DO NOT VOTE. The E.C. is undemocratic, un-American.

    2. Zeno of Citium
      It’s been working great for 233 years, but now it’s suddenly un-American and not Democratic. 🙄 Without the electoral college, you might as well only open the polls in New York, Texas and California …

  3. Straight outta Trump’s famous 5th Avenue logic – that even if he were to shoot someone dead in the middle of 5th Ave in broad daylight, he’ll get away with it.

    That is the only moment in Trump’s sick life where he wasn’t lying. But that’s not Trump’s fault – it is America’s fault to allow it to happen by its own free will. I hope Trump stays on for another term, because America deserves to be royally screwed over by its own people.

    1. Trump math: executive privilege + Article 2 + Senate = King of the USA (above the law).
      *How to fix our failing democracy*
      1) Abolish the electoral college, 2) Replace plurality, with rank choice voting, 3) Replace Senators with non-partisan scholars.

    2. We fight.. dont give up hope..we will win against trump. Hold on to your faith and fight the good fight to the end.

    3. Trump’s infamous 5th avenue comment is lifted right out of the pages of the Federalist Society (in which Barr and Republican SCOTUS are members) flawed theory known as “The Unitary Executive”.
      Essentially the law ceases to be an objective standard and shield for the nation and it’s citizens. Instead it becomes a subjective implement to be interpreted by the Chief Executive at his whim.

      An intolerable abuse of power aided by far right wing extremists who have hijacked our courts.

  4. USC, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115 § 2384: SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY
    “If two or more persons conspire to OVERTHROW, PUT DOWN, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.”

    1. @Donna Snyder this is what we are talking about ,a corrupt DOJ under barf,won’t investigate, corrupt GOP sente won’t have a fair trial let alone vote guilty,it’s all treason pretty obvious unless your avrabid dump supporter

  5. Kind if like cancelling primaries for the good of the country. So much for democracy. We are a country by the people not by the dictator.

  6. George Orwell must be turning in his grave, after all, “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others” – Adapted from the book, Animal Farm.

  7. Amazing that he’s offering his sevices to Trump for free but when a victim of Epstein’s accused him – he sued her.
    ….not so willing to see his day in court with her for free!

  8. Schumer: do announce that the WH Mobster HAS ALEADY implemented a Dictatorship and YOU let him do it! You’re all complicit.

    1. Lmao, it will really come down to you all eating your own kind, watch the national socialist convention highlights, wait.. were you there??

  9. This is gaslighting 101. They take every side of an argument and contradict themselves. Reality doesn’t matter, it’s what the leader says it is.

    1. Don’t worry, Republicans will always be there to support our Constitutional rights while Dems chip away at them.
