Jan. 6th, 2021: The Presidential Pillaging Of Our Country!
The storming of the Capitol.
Now here’s a dilemma I am sure our country’s constitutional founders did not anticipate, not even in their wildest imagination:
A former President, already having been impeached once while in office, objects to the results of a free and fair election (supposedly because too many people voted against him and he didn’t want their votes to count), so he gives speeches that are, by his own spoken words, incitement for his followers to attack our nation’s capitol. There is agreement from both sides of the aisle that his words induced a riot at the nation’s Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
He is then impeached a second time for the offense of “incitement to riot,” (instead of the “high crime and misdemeanors” reason of treason,) as he figuratively is leaving the oval office, presumably for the last time.
The House of Representatives alone was charged with the responsibility of impeachment and carrying out their oath and their constitutional duty, which they performed with the dignity the moment required of them.
They then carry the notice of impeachment to the floor of the Senate and present it in an orderly fashion. Immediately they get a point of order submitted to the floor by Kentucky’s Jr. Senator Rand Paul, which got voted down 55–45. Remember, they all took the same oath:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
Here’s what I don’t understand: If 100 Senators took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, why was this being labled a “partisan” issue by many of the news outlets?
