The whole House process was all so fucked up and a sham Soviet Union show trial, throwing out every USA due process tenet, the Senate should really file a law suit against the House impeachment articles on constitutional grounds.
I know there are Anons that want to see a trial in the Senate, but House impeachment articles getting overturned in court would be rather red-pilling as illustrating how extreme and out of touch with our constitutional republic these commies have gotten

If this happened I'd be p.o.ed. The DS, Dems, MSM, pop culture figures etc. will be able to spin it like Trump avoided impeachment only because the Reps have a majority in the Senate. They should have a thorough hearing in the Senate and expose the Coup 2.0 plot against Trump. The truth will significantly damage the Dems so why would you turtle (see what I did there?) in that fight?
If Mcconnell did this, what do you think would fill the vacuum left by no Senate hearings? Probably Coup 3.0. Instead of playing D, go on offense.

McConnell is smart just Acquit....Say its was an unconstitutional proceeding in the House...condemn the Dems for not allowing the GOP to subpoena anyone, that the evidence was all hearsay, and the GOP were not allowed to ask questions. It gives cover to the Senators who are running for reelection in 2020. Get it done quickly, and change the narrative back to the Horowitz report!

I'm an old person here, please tell me if I understand this correctly. Doing it this way prevents a trial which prevents any further evidence being introduced. Republicans are not as pure as the wind driven snow either. Voting to aquit on both charges takes less votes than to dismiss the charges. The end result is it looks like the Senate did their job and cleared President Trump.

FTA: "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to acquit President Donald Trump in the Senate if he’s impeached in the House, not just dismiss the charges against him, two senators told CNN on Wednesday."
Speaking to CNN on the record, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) argued that it “would make more sense” to vote on impeachment articles than on a motion to dismiss. Cornyn noted the second option would mean the Senate would “decide this on a 51-vote threshold, with the potential tie and all the recriminations that would flow from that.”
McConnell appeared to signal what options he is weighing, if the Senate takes up an impeachment trial."

Acquitting Trump is highly UNLIKELY, they will pursue a public exposure to the public through Court TV. The house vote will be interesting.
