Point by point:
1. The US Government has no First Amendment rights.
2. Putting and seconding the motion is NOT impeachment. Are you seriously contending that Politico’s three minute video montage is the impeachment?
3. Trump has not lost due process. This is exactly how it’s supposed to work. The House levies the charge and the Senate conducts the trial. Trump’s due process and the relevant evidence will be presented during the trial process. As yet, Trump hasn’t been found guilty of anything - he’s been impeached.
4. Pelosi did NOT ask that Trump be forcibly removed from office, she asked if his nuclear access codes could be deactivated. I agree that this was a stupid move on her part. And yes, the House alone impeaches - the Senate has absolutely no role in the impeachment process.
5. Even when the Democrats take control of the Senate, it would require a massive Republican defection to convict him.
6. No, you have to be formally accused of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’, guilt doesn’t enter into it.
