    Who is at Anna Pressley? Were these people at the time significant social influencers? Last I heard Kamal did not have a huge dedicated following of rabid fanatics

    No judge has that power
    Unless you can just toss these out

    Article III Section 2 a trial for all Crimes except Impeachment shall be by Jury. And the 6th Amendment, In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy trial and a public trial by an impartial jury

    The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you

    Amendment VI
    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

    But a judge in Colorado has the power to supersede the constitution?
    In what world do you live?

    you clearly don't understand the process-Trump wasn't impeached either time. Thus your claim is without merit

    The House passed the article of impeachment on January 13, 2021, by a 232–197 vote. All 222 Democrats voted to impeach, joined by 10 Republicans.

    At the conclusion of the trial, the Senate voted 57–43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection, falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds majority required by the Constitution, and Trump was therefore acquitted.

    So not sure where you got the idea about the majority of both houses from

    Doesn’t seem to have influenced the Colorado Supreme Court does it? One would assume they too know the law

    Yet it influenced 13 other states not to do this idiocy to include 3 Democrats in Colorado.
    So its your opinion that 4 judges know better that the 30 or so who disagreed.

    Which is why we have a SCOTUS that puts down idiotic leftist Democrats all the time who also claim to know the law.
    Just like the idiotic Democrats who know the law that get destroyed on their 2nd amendment claims

    Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.

    Sigh…From this simple thing called ‘English’. A majority means ‘the greater number or amount’. In both houses, a greater number voted to impeach. In other words, a MAJORITY in both houses voted that way and the votes were bipartisan in nature.

    The reason the scumbag wasn’t convicted is that your Constitution requires more than a majority in the Senate. But, nevertheless, most people wanted him gone…

    For Pete’s sake man….learn your own bloody system…! He was impeached BOTH times. He wasn’t CONVICTED, however, because of the requirements in that Senate process…

    Impeachment is a POLITICAL process, not a LEGAL one.

    He can still be tried, in a court of law, for any crimes committed related to his two impeachments (as long as the statute of limitations has not expired)

    He was not convicted. However, he was impeached…twice.

    Let me break it down for you in baby steps, since you clearly don’t know how your own system works…

    Liken it to a criminal process…

    In a criminal case, a grand jury votes, by majority, to indict the suspect on various charges. The accused is then brought to trial.
    In an impeachment process, the House takes the place of a grand jury and votes, by majority, to impeach the individual and have them then stand trial in the Senate.

    In a criminal case, the indicted person stands trial and a judge or jury determines their guilt and any punishment that might result.
    In an impeachment process, the impeached person stands trial before the Senate, wherein a 2/3 vote is required to convict and possibly bar the person from any future position.

    Clear now…? You’re welcome…

    this sort of arrogance is pitiful. I forget more about the US legal system daily than you will ever know. Trump was not removed and thus those who started the process LOST, I noted it was akin to an indictment and guess what-if you are INDICTED but not convicted, the indictment has NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER after that.

    You haven't taught me anything other than you are a serious bit of Trump hate. Democrats and RINOS were mad Trump won. so they pushed this crap KNOWING IT WOULD LOSE IN THE SENATE, to try to embarrass Trump and help the Talibiden prevail in the 2020 election. Nothing more nothing less. Calling Trump the stain sort of suggests the issue is with you
