But at that moment, if it arrives, every one of these GOP liars will lie and claim that they can and will be impartial.

Indeed, Roberts may write his legacy at this trial, something I believe he's taking seriously as time goes on.

...simply by presiding over a fair trial in the Senate.

...unless Trumpism triumphs, then they get to write the history books.

I have a feeling he'll try to run an honest trial, but he can't change Republican votes.

For how many feel they cannot be an impartial juror?

They should recuse themselves from the jury.

As usual.

And nothing will happen.

As usual.

"The Senate, unlike any petit (or trial) jury, is legally free to engage in politics in arriving at its verdict."

It's politically useful to point out that McConnell admits that he is in no sense impartial... but actually spinning that he should be forced to recuse himself? Tribe knows that's nonsense... and that no "jurisdiction" exists for such a move.

What will *Roberts* do? He's been a shitheel on a lot, but actually surprised us with the ACA ruling. He's a wildcard, at this point.
