Has it occurred to anyone that if Congress really does end up voting for a censure instead of a full impeachment we will have the largest jury nullification in history, if it's based upon the consensus of the people per the various samples.
Has it occured to anyone that if Congress votes for censure, we will have the fastest rulling by the Supreme Court that censure is unconstitutional in the history of the U.S.?
How's it going to get there? The ex_president certainly won't appeal (and face removal from office) and since Congress passed it they likely won't appeal. Besides the Constitution says that Congress must stop at removal from office and barring from future offices. It is clearly within their power to simply slap his hand or write him a bad report card. ____________________________________________________________________ What raises the standard of living may well diminish the quality of life.
