SCOTUS Turns Its Back

For John, BLUF:  I am sure that Democrats will criticize Chief Justice John Roberts for stepping away from this second Impeachment Trial, especially if things go sideways.  Howver, the Chief Justice has made the wise choice.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

An Impeachment So Fake, John Roberts Refuses to Participate

Here is the sub-headline:

The economy is imploding, the coronavirus is raging, the terrorists in Black Lives Matter and Antifa are still terrorizing Democrat-run cities, and what’s the Democrat-run U.S. Senate gearing up to do, and do with His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s approval…?

Ferom Breitbart, by Editor John Nolte, 28 January 2021.

Here is the lede plus four:

Impeach … a private citizen.

If you thought that first impeachment of President Trump was fake, these lunatics now want to impeach and convict Trump as a private citizen — a farce so absurd, so ridiculous, and such a piece of failed political theater, even establishment toady John Roberts, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, refuses to participate.

Roberts is refusing for a very good reason…

The impeachment process is about removing the president.

Donald Trump is not the president.

In place of Chief Justice John Roberts, the Senate Democrats have picked Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to preside.  Senator Leahy is a decent human being.  Chairing this fraud is not going to be good for him or his reputation.  Whatever he does will be decried as wrong, from one side or the other.

But, Speaker Pelosi insists.

Yes, the use of "His Fraudulency" as a title for President Biden seems a little over the top.  We should not emulate the Democrats from the last four years.  We should grant legitimacy and hope that President Biden makes moves that make America better.

Hat tip to my Wife.
