was this an example of American justice? maybe...but impeachments are definitely not a procedure of the American judicial system. Rather it is a Constitutional political process that empowers Congress to exert some oversight on a POTUS. As such, all impeachments of POTUS that have gone to trial are political and partisan events. The results have all been along party lines, so this was predictable. This one garnered more votes to convict by the POTUS' own party than any other in history.

and the 7 GOP Senators who voted to convict Trump must now be frightened for their lives...can you say " Hang Burr, hang Cassidy, hang Collins, hang Murkowski, hang Romney, hang Sasse, hang Toomey"?
what do Trump's followers, like the ones who stormed the Capitol, think of them?
Does anyone remember thinking that the judicial system in America was fair and just? You know, a place where your side was represented fairly and heard without predicated bias? Going into a court room meant meting out a decision based on laws where both sides represent their case with evidence and those sitting in decision hearing the case would do so based on fact. Remember when they didn't legislate from the bench? What about that cute little statue of Lady Justice where she's blindfolded holding a sword with one hand and a scale to balance? Yeah. .
Subverting the constitution is intolerable. I think the question of being constitutional should have been decided by SCOTUS before any trial started.

And what do the liberals (Biden followers, no doubt) who burned our cities for the better part of 2020 think of the republicans who voted to acquit? Complicit with the media and leftist politicians they're already slinging sh*t their way.

her statement was read and placed into the record...GOP said they were gonna call 100's of witnesses to drag out the trial for weeks/months if Dems wanted to call witnesses...political calculation about the value of a long impeachment trial, potential evidence to be gained by any witness vs. confidence in the case presented to that pointcompared to; a shortened trial freeing the Senate to take it's part in determining Biden's agenda
