Senate Republicans admit they won't be fair in impeachment trial

'The president is not going to be removed from office – period,' Sen. Jim Inhofe tweeted on Wednesday.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday morning voted to appoint managers to prosecute the impeachment trial of Donald Trump and prepared to send the two articles against him, one for abuse of power and another for obstruction of Congress, to the Senate.

Within hours, several Republican senators had made it clear they had no intention to giving those articles a fair hearing.

The House impeached Trump in December, alleging he had abused his office when he pushed Ukraine to investigate his political rivals and impeded congressional efforts to investigate those actions. Those articles will now be passed along to the Senate where members, who effectively act as jurors, will be asked to weigh the charges and decide whether to remove Trump from office.

At the start of an impeachment trial, each senator takes an oath in which they "solemnly swear" to "do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws."

Hey Oklahoma, got a question for you folks, did your senator ever read the Constitution, or did he read the Koch operation manual.................he is embarrassment................

1. Unfortunately, Inhofe is doing just exactly what Oklahoma sent him to Washington to do.

They are pleased that he is willing to ignore facts and violate his oath to protect "the Chosen One".
