Seeing Trump’s lawyers argue before the Supreme Court for absolute presidential immunity (yeah, right, he should be above the law … and why would the president need such immunity unless he was asking states to “find” the votes needed for him to win, or was taking top secret documents and hiding them from FBI agents. … And Trump called Hillary a security risk for using a private e-mail server, which he said should disqualify her from holding office) makes me look back at Trump’s second impeachment trial:
If only those Republican senators who voted against conviction on the grounds he was leaving office anyway, had instead voted to convict him, then the Republican Party would have been free of Trump (as he would have been ineligible to ever hold office again), politics maybe would get back to normal, and our country would be free of the Trump circus.
I do miss the days of Bush (either one) and the GOP presidents before them, where I could disagree with their politics, but at least respect them as people.
