Should the Senator’s running for president in 2020 recluse themselves as serving as jurors in the Senate impeachment trial?
The Purpose of this Post
Is to question how any politician is pure in heart and upright enough to make a fair upright impartial judgement to impeach President Trump?
King Solomon
Which yet my soul seventh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. (Proverb 7:28)
What’s My Point?
It is common for a judge to recluse themselves from judging when they have a personal interest or might profit from a trial verdict.
There are three hopefully upright Democrat Senators running for president in 2020 who might profit or their chance of winning improve if Trump is impeached.
In My Opinion
How upright and pure in heart are they is only going to be known in time by their Creator.
As for the one man who King Solomon found to be upright, in my opinion, it could have been Adam and that was before Eve was created, perhaps?
In my opinion, it would be wise to let the voters judge this issue in 2020.

You Decide
Based on the vote in the House of Representatives and their associations with political parties, do you really believe any politician’s judgement will be pure in heart and upright?

Pure Heart
I think that is a valid argument given the reason the vice president has no role in the process is because of the implied bias of inheriting the job if a sitting president is forced out. BUT… someone from their state should sit in their stead. Presumption would be that the state governor would appoint someone represented by the same party as the recused senator. Not sure this recusal would be necessary in the House when voting on articles of impeachment given there is no immediate action in the House to judge and removeremove a president… just a leveling of charges.

In my opinion based on the present proceedings, by the time they mutuallyy agree who wouldl
sit in for them, Trump will have completed his second term.

I believe there’s only two senators running? I would think two governors could appoint someone over a weekend.
I firmly believe.. if He makes it to a second term… He will not finish it because he brings on all his problems himself and we will be impeaching again.

Your statment about problems seem to concur with part of my blog motto.

That’s true to the point that one person’s definition of “disaster” is another person’s definition of a “victory”.

It’s not so much about what he’s accomplishing but rather how he’s trying to accomplish what he feels is good for Trump himself.
