Leahy, not Roberts, to preside over "impeachment trial"

The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court has declined an invitation extended by Democrats to preside over the Senate trial of the sham impeachment of former President Trump. Maybe Chief Justice Roberts is trying to tell Democrats something.

Democrats have decided that Senator Patrick Leahy, who has already voted to convict former President Trump of one sham impeachment would be the perfect selection to preside over the second sham impeachment trial. The problem is, Leahy is not the Chief Justice of the Supreme court and Trump is no longer the President of the United States.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will not preside over former President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, which is scheduled to begin in earnest on Feb. 8.

Instead, Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Leahy (Vt.), the most senior member of the Senate Democratic Conference, will preside over the trial.

Leahy on Monday confirmed he would wield the gavel and promised to administer “impartial justice.”
Glad you agree with me now Hoot! This will be as big or bigger farce than the first one. For liberal propaganda only, to keep their low-information voters brainwashed.
