The Senate Impeachment Trial: A Hardening Line from Democrats

The Democratic Party's stance on the outcome of the Senate impeachment trial against President Trump is clear: they will not be satisfied.

Refusal to Accept the Outcome

Despite the trial ending with a bipartisan vote of not guilt, the Democrats will not accept the result as a final judgment. They have made it clear that they will continue to investigate and take various legal actions in the future:

Impeaching Trump again, Taking his entire cabinet to court to enforce subpoenas, Challenging Trump’s lawyer in court for his actions during the Senate trial, And more.

For the Democrats, this is not the end. They will persist in their investigations and efforts to bring the truth to the American public.

Alternatives to Acceptance

The Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they will not simply 'look the other way' and accept these rulings passively. Instead, they will continue to resist and fight for their beliefs:

Agree with No: Accept When you havt got the votes, you haven’t got the votes. Accept When You Haven't Got the Votes: Look the other way while Trump commits more crimes. Continued Investigation: Continue to investigate and bring the truth to the American public.

They are not satisfied with the fabricated charges and suspect that further actions are necessary to uncover the full truth.

Historical Context and Disappointment

The Democrats' dissatisfaction extends beyond this trial. The 2016 election results also came under scrutiny, with the Democrats vehemently disagreeing with the outcome. This ongoing dissatisfaction has made the party appear less relevant in the eyes of the public:

“No more than they accepted Hillary’s loss… Their conduct has made themselves irrelevant.”

While some on the left feel upset due to Hillary Clinton’s loss, others see the situation differently. They feel that the situation was already determined by Moscow Mitch (a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell) and the vast majority of Republicans in the Senate:

“Not unless its decided in their favor, highly unlikely!”

The Democrats believe that this trial is a sham and a shame. They anticipate a significant mobilization to vote out the traitors, including the main traitor, Trump.

Process and Government Stability Concerns

Senator McConnell’s role is also under scrutiny. Observers question whether his process will provide confidence in the outcome of the trial. They predict that the trial could be chaotic, with comparisons made to the Kavanaugh hearing, which relied heavily on a limited 'background check' by the FBI:

Trump’s defense was that his actions didn’t rise to any kind of impeachable offense, Instead, he sees this as an opportunity to assert that no forces are allowed to hold him accountable.

Legal teams have argued that impeachment itself is unconstitutional, making it a far-reaching and potentially dangerous claim:

“It would be one thing if Trump simply made the defense that stipulated the nature of his actions but argued that they didn’t rise to any kind of impeachable offense. Instead he’s seeing this trial as an opportunity to once again abuse power by declaring himself above impeachment.”

Democrats are deeply concerned about this line of argument, seeing it as a return to banana republic behavior, where no one can hold the president accountable.
