We were able to watch some of the presentations of the Trump defense team before the Senate today and will endeavor to post links to transcripts. In some cases the read may be more exciting than the delivery. We do not mean that as a slight as the ones we watched apparently were presenting with determined studiousness. The arguments they made as to facts and chain of events regarding the whole matter painted the Democrat case as mendacious calumny.
We also believe that Trump’s defenders should not shy away from political arguments. Not threats, but warn of the political implications of what the Democrats are doing as to governance and comity. The practical destruction of the concept of separation of powers and checks and balances is important to bring home to the audience inside and outside the Senate chambers.
While intertwined heretofore, we presume more statements of law and constitutional implications are yet to come. Addressing those, including the loose/ridiculously elastic/unprecedented/baseless and dangerous articles of impeachment is a letter cosigned by 21 current (Republican) Attorneys General. Their letter is embedded below and through this link. It is a great readable lesson in our Constitution’s history and the intentions and understanding of the wise and practical intentions of our founders.
The Wall Street Journal offered a constitutional analysis that also referenced the AG letter to the Senate.
