Calling out the Democratic Party for its far-left extremism, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz denounced House Speaker Pelosi’s plan to withhold sending the impeachment vote to the Senate for a trial as “unconstitutional.” As noted by Fox News, the Harvard Law professor’s recent op-ed for Newsmax came in response to his colleague Laurence Tribe, who backed Pelosi in not allowing a Senate trial on impeachment. “[Tribe] would withhold the trial until the Senate agreed to change its rules,

‘Tribe would withhold the trial until the Senate agrees to change its rules’. This gem coming from a law professor who claims to have an elite intellect. Mr. Tribe, Nancy Pelosi is not running the Senate. She can demand anything she wants when she’s talking to Rachel Maddow but stamping her foot in front of McConnell will get her nothing.

It is truly remarkable, every week Mr. Dershowitz is telling us the rule of law as it should be for all. The scales have fallen from his eyes as to how evil social/liberalism is to America. Hope he is watching his backside for incoming daggers. Keep up the good work Mr. D.

McConnell will not play in her excrement pond. She has to submit the charges and they will conduct a trial. She has no say in the trial and she knows it. Hopefully she is back in her city stepping on it !

Clearly there are no clear cut rules or regulation on the impeachment process of a President. No one knows specifically what is constitutional or unconstitutional; all its opinion. All the 'expert' opinions are just that...opinions. There is only precedence to point to; no law. The Constitution is silent other than to say the House drafts charges of impeachment and the Senate tries the case.
The Democrats threw out all precedence with the drafting of the Impeachment charges. The Articles of Impeachment do not conform to the 4 crimes enumerated for impeachment of a President.
The only two people who even have a clue as to what the impeachment procedures will be going forward are Pelosi and McConnell and they are holding their cards close. Anyone saying they know what happens next is pure speculation.

Pelosi iisn't running anything. This clown show is brought to you by their hired guns, the Lawfare lawyers. Their white-hot hatred for Trump and his ruining their federal money laundering scheme keeps them plotting and planning their wicked strategies. Their tentacles are everywhere.
It was pretty obvious yesterday when Pelosi had no real answers when she waved her hand and said "no more questions on impeachment". She was rattled to her false teeth.

Alan thinks he's found a way to somewhat redeem himself about Epstein in the court of public opinion. He also wants to save his marriage and his family.
Whether his motives are on a grand, noble scale or to personally rescue his reputation doesn't really matter. He's one of the top legal scholars in the country. He's vocal. He's got media access. He's got credibility. He's not afraid. He knows what's happening is illegal as all get out and he's speaking up. He's a good guy to have on our side.

I believe that the GOP and supporters should just say NOTHING about impeachment. In this case, SILENCE is king. Let the H of R sit on their egg as long as they wish to. It has already started to rot.

"put forward by good people"
NO, they are NOT "good". We are judged and convicted by our ACTIONS and these people have given us clear evidence that they have abandoned any "good" intentions. Their deliberate and destructive torture of rules of evidence and Constitutional rights shows that they are willing to abandon all that is good to "get Trump". They are obsessed with it and acting with evil intent. The previously stellar citizen who has now broken into a bank and is stealing money is a BAD person, a crook.
It is time to face our enemy. They are not "misguided". They are BAD, DANGEROUS people. They need to be stopped.

Pelosi needs to knocked off her high horse. She cites the Constitution as if she's saying the Lords prayer. Does she even know whats in the Constitution? No she doesn't. It's an embarrassment as a country to watch her deteriorate and stumble with words. She may have been an effective legislator in her hey day, 20 years ago. Right now, she's in over her head and is obviously being manipulated. Her self-importance will be her downfall.
She's bordering on Third Reich tactics for this country. Personally, if this continues, she should be removed from the House of Representatives.

Pelosi and the Democrats are tampering with this jury. They are engaged in jury tampering ( to quote our old buddy Robert KKK Byrd. )

Amen, poster 10. The white race hustlers don't have a guilty conscience either. That includes the Christian denominations (latest SBC) that are imposing Marxist critical race theory and intersectionality on their churches. They're Marxist at heart and have infiltrated everything-religion, education, government, media, science, medicine, technology, large corporations, etc.-to destroy. They have no intentions of building up anyone or make anyone or anything great; their desire is purely self-advancement, period. They want to rule with an iron fist, and they want to own everything. Nancy P. rules with an iron fist. Note the way she waved off her caucus when they were about to shout for joy as she announced their fake impeachment against the President. Also, when she told the press she wasn't going to answer any questions about fake impeachment. And the chicken press shut down. There were more of them than her, but the people who love it when protesters protest, didn't even bother to protest. They shut up just like dutiful little weasels. Pelosi is not good; she is evil to the core; no one believes she was praying for the President and no one believes she or the other liars were saddened by what they did. They're blatantly in our face evil now, and we need to pay attention to what we see and call them what they are! They need to be stopped!

3 liberal Harvard Law Professors, 3 different opinions. Tribe, who call for leaving impeachment in limbo because Democrats don't like the results they will get in the Senate. Noah Feldman, the Democrat's own "expert witness" who says that Pres. Trump is not actually impeached until the Articles of Impeachment are sent to the Senate for trial, and finally Prof Dershowitz, who says it is unconstitutional to withhold the articles. Who is right?

Over the years Dershowitz has wound my watch. This time he is absolutely correct.

Of course, the Dems despise the Constitution, and only invoke it occasionally as a hammer to harm Republicans, and always ignore any "inconvenient" parts which would restrict their totalitarian moves.
