The Senate not only has the constitutional right to try Trump; it has a constitutional duty to do so.
The Senate is on the cusp of the historic second Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
On Monday, the House delivered its article of impeachment to the Senate. On Tuesday, the members of the House who will act as trial lawyers will be sworn in, with the trial set to begin Feb. 8.
The question is straightforward — the sole article of impeachment alleges that Trump incited an insurrection. We all saw the insurrection play out live on television, computer and phone screens across the country. We all saw our elected officials wearing gas masks and sheltering in place in the people’s house, the Capitol. We all saw the speech Trump gave moments before the insurrection. We have likely all made up our minds already whether Trump’s behavior rises to the level of an impeachable offense.
