Yet Another Trump Impeachment? Sorry, But This One Too Is A Sham

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent the impeachment articles to the Senate on Tuesday, and the now evenly split Senate will take it up on Feb. 8.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

So the impeachment now being moved to the Senate is not legal, based on the clear wording and intent of the Constitution.

Impeachment is moot, since the main idea behind impeachment is to remove the accused from office.

As law professor and longtime blogger Ann Althouse recently noted, Chief Justice John Roberts has indicated through his actions that he believes the impeachment of Trump is not legal.

"The only remedies in impeachment are removal from office and disqualification to hold positions of 'trust or profit,'" wrote Instapundit blogger and University of Tennessee Law Professor Glenn Reynolds last week.

The illegal Trump impeachment isn't about Trump at all.
