Saying that the removal penalty is a “condition precedent” to the disqualification penalty is weird because (a) it’s a contract law term, (b) that “condition” isn’t in the Constitution & (c) it ignores Senate precedent on point (Belknap), usually something lawyers try to address. — PolitiTweet.org

Just reading the Trump pleading on impeachment,& it’s a headspinner. Calling the impeachment a Bill of Attainder is weird because that’s guilt of crime without trial & impeachment is (a) not criminal & (b) has a trial (coming right up). — PolitiTweet.org

Misstating the act in question (that Trump said “the election results were suspect”) so as to call it “unpopular” “protected” speech is weird because it ignores (a) everything we know Trump actually said, & (b) that criminal/fraudulent speech (like incitement) isn’t protected. — PolitiTweet.org
