Lynne Lechter . . . "In the Senate trial, there is no voir dire!
"The jurors are automatically preselected — comprising the elected 100 senators of the United States of America. The chief justice of the United States Supreme Court is the presiding judge.
"Three United States senators are currently running as Democrat potential nominees for president. How can Senators Sanders, Warren, and Klobachar, with understandable but blatant self-interest and prejudice as potential Democrat presidential contenders, give Republican President Donald J. Trump a fair and unbiased trial? The very notion is oxymoronic and risible.
"Instead of opining that it is a sacred constitutional duty, or proclaiming as Bernie Sanders has that he would rather be in Iowa, it is shameful and a huge blot on their collective base character and lack of candor that the trio have not already recused themselves.
"One can only hope that one, if not all, of the illustrious legal defense team that President Trump has assembled to defend him will quickly raise the issue of conflict of interest. Even if such a motion fails, it should be duly noted for the record.
"The Democrats are relentless, craven, and totally lacking in elementary standards of fair legal conduct that apply throughout our national legal system. Why should the president of the United States be denied the same basic legal protection afforded every other citizen involved in a trial?"
