They re elected because their constituents chose them for their opinions and views on the record. so to that point, senator mcconnell has also rejected witnesses, specifically, mick mulvaney, john bolton, to appear before the senate. he keeps saying this is a political process but is there a risk for mitch mcconnell that if he does not at least have witnesses, that the exoneration of president trump will be somewhat fallible, given the fact that it s going to come down to numbers and not the actual exoneration? my advise to mitch mcconnell, get this over as fast as you can. looks that s where he s headed. yes. actually, technically, they can do it on a motion to dismiss on the first day without any witnesses, without anything at all, technically, they have the sole power within the senate to set their own rules. but this is a faster trial, a better trial for republicans. there s an argument that it s a better thing for democrats as well. strategically, they want to avoid a long ....
impartial justice according to the constitution and laws. then you also have leader mcconnell there saying admitting he will not be impartial. and this is actually a political process. is there any concern, danny for the rule of law here? i can see a concern for the rule of law. on the other hand, impartial justice doesn t necessarily mean that the juror, him or herself, will be free of all partiality. it s not the same as the judicial process but that does give reason for concern for the rule of law. at the same time, i think that will be the republicans response, that impartial justice is different for each individual senator being impartial and they re clearly not. i ve been saying this for a long time that as jurors in our judicial system we vet jurors during voir dire, to make sure even though they may have biases, the biases do not affect their ability to judge fairly. and that s very different from what the senate trial looking like because our senators are elegislated fo ....
Step of his process. and it s likely that neither one of them are going to vote to impeach this president. that s remarkable, we saw people during the clinton impeachment, for example, cross party lines. and it looks like every single republican is going to back the president. in the face of all of this, in the face of this letter, i didn t think that would change any minds but it s just a testament of the left of authority he demands in the house. it s just interesting if you juxtapose the letter that the president sent to speaker pelosi, versus the letter that speaker pelosi put out before today s vote and what she talks about on such a historic day. danny cevallos, thank you. yesterday, the house approved a $1.4 trillion spending package to fund the government for the rest of the year avoiding a government shutdown. a pair of bills, appealing ....
Powers of his high office and deliberately obstructed the congressional investigation into this abuse. however, jared golden told us had plans to vote yes on abuse of power but no on obstruction of congress. joining us here a good friend, danny cevallos here on msnbc. danny, let s talk about what we expect today. walk us through how this plays out. obviously, the articles have been drafted. is there going to be a lot of debate? could anything derail this in the last minute besides the vote actually somewhere. we ve seen over the last few weeks, republicans will do just about anything, even arguing over bathroom breaks during a session. so, you can expect republicans will do some of the same. a lot of it will echo the arguments that we ve already heard over the last few weeks. essentially that the process is flawed that they not be given the opportunities that they ....
Welcome back, everybody. i m yasmin vossoughian alongside ayman mohyeldin. in just a couple hours the house of representatives will convene to begin the final process of impeaching the president. this follows a day of deliberation by the house rules committee. setting the guidelines for today s historic vote. judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler who had been expected to testify missed the meeting because of an unspecified family emergency. in his place, democratic congressman jamie raskin presented the committee s findings. the president s aggressive and unprecedented resistance to congressional subpoenas for witnesses and documents is blatantly and dangerously unconstitutional. the president s continuing course of conduct constitute a clear and present danger to democracy in america. we cannot allow this misconduct to pass. it would be a sellout of our ....
