I may be the only one who feels this way, but watching MSNBC's Chuck Todd interview U.S. Senator David Perdue of Georgia (Republican), I can't help but feel that Todd is not only getting owned but also giving Perdue a huge, free, media megaphone. Todd belongs on Fox.

In Federalist No. 65, Hamilton does not warn—as Dershowitz and some Rs claim—that we should reject impeachment when parties clash over it. To the contrary, Hamilton cites the inevitability of partisanship as a reason to support the Constitution’s approach to trying impeachments.

Trump’s lawyers claim in their filing all his acts were “perfectly legal, completely appropriate.” But if that’s the case, why are the president and his senior aides so afraid to turn over evidence or to testify under penalty of perjury?

These aides say 12-hour days of arguments, which some Senate Republicans have foreshadowed, would be "preposterous," likely ending at 2-3 a.m. when breaks are factored in.

Why are Trump and other Republicans expressing support for Sanders (Hewitt is even voting for him in the primaries) right now? Obviously, because they think Trump can more easily defeat Sanders thean Biden. Maybe they're wrong, but have no doubt about their intentions.

Explaining why Trump’s answer brief is outrageous. This brief should make every attorney cringe. Surprised attorneys signed it. Trump must have dictated it.
