president and ceo of resolve to save lives. ali, i want to start with you. what a day. what are people in washington telling you? what a day, steph. we ve been out here on the mall for several hours already this morning, and we ve seen a lot of people, masks around their children. masks as bracelets, just like i ve got mine right now, and no masks at all as they ve been on their morning walks and morning runs. also no masks at all. but also a little scepticism you cannot just flip an off switch and turn off all of the guidelines we have been hearing and doing over the last year and a half. a lot of people tell me they re fully comfortable taking their masks off outside. some of them still saying they will keep their masks inside. take a look at the diversity of opinions we ve heard out here today. i think obviously for some spots, if it s touch and go and local guidance says you wear it, you can put up with it for a little bit longer but i think it s long overdue. ....
to have to answer that question. we re hours away from the first ever second impeachment trial of a president in united states history. and his party wants to pretend the trial is improper. so they don t have to be on record ignoring everything that most will see as obvious. trump s lawyers argue this is all unconstitutional and political theater by democrats. two points. first, this was by far the most bipartisan impeachment in our history. ten members of trump s own party formally accused him of a high crime. second, if that s what you think, why don t you go to court? if you don t think the constitution means what it says about a trial following the impeachment, go to court. they can t. do you know why? because this is not about the law, per se. despite all the familiar terms, like trial and jurors, convict, this is a political process. it is about votes and integrity. trump seems to have the former in his pocket, and these senators appear to have too little of the l ....
that s what trials are designed to do. to arrive at the truth of the matter and render a verdict. and following the despicable attack on january the 6th, there must, there must be truth and accountability if we are going to move forward, heal, and bring our country together once again. proceedings are slated to begin tomorrow afternoon. cnn will bring that to you live. earlier today both sides presented their final pretrial papers. house managers writing a five-place reply to the defense and i m quoting from the bottom line, the evidence of the president s conduct is overwhelming and he has no valid excuse or defense for his actions and he betrayed the american people. that s plain to see to a number of republicans including the third ranking member of the house, liz cheney, who was asked whether she d convict if she were a senator. i obviously, believe and did then that what we already know is enough for his impeachment, what we already know does constitute the gra ....
you know him? he s a big shot conservative lawyer. he s represented house republicans, john bolton, even ted cruz. he was an adviser to his campaign. he says look at article 1, section 3, of this constitution. in there, it says the senate has an option for more punishment than conviction. disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit, under the united states. that punishment can only be imposed on a former officer, like trump. so, if there is an option to disqualify, how can it be unconstitutional to create that option? right? that clause can only apply to someone who is out of office. so here is the problem for the gopq and for trump. their argument on the law is weak, but their argument on the facts is weaker. okay? they couldn t even spell united in his brief. let alone, cogently argue that trump was trying to keep us that way. they re arguing that people who criminally breached the capitol did so of their own accord and for their own r ....
