There is no doubt that ex-presidents do not enjoy immunity from regular prosecution. But now that the Senate has decided it has jurisdiction - senators who disagreed on this legal question may still vote guilty. In theory, sure. In practice this sure looks like a pretext to allow Rs to vote against conviction while claiming that they're not condoning his actions. I can't see 12 Rs doing that now (unless something new comes out that makes Trump even more culpable than he already is known to be, which I don't rule out). --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:949954124] in Politics C...
