Lazy media, or rather media taking it's lead from your constitution .. repeat
Article I, Section 3, Clause 6:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Just as the Constitution vests the House with "sole"1 authority to impeach government officials,2 it entrusts the Senate with the "sole" power to try impeachments.3 And just as the Constitution authorizes the House to establish its own procedures, including for impeachments, it empowers the Senate to determine its own rules for impeachment trial proceedings.4
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
"A true trial is one which has a defense and a offense to debate. There was no offense allowed at the shitgibbon's 2 votes. Thus, not a true trial. Just a lazy media and corrupt republiklans. Trial in name only."
I initially suggested we all face trials every day. In the common use of the word, trial every trial does not have to be of the same structure.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
