My apologies for disagreeing with you. I thought surely they wouldn't dare try Trump in the Senate after he left office. It's not constitutional. On the plus side Roberts has refused to preside over it so if it goes to SCOTUS have to think it would be overturned if Trump is convicted. And that's unlikely.

I wish I could say I'm surprised by their lack of ability to realize the ironic hypocrisy of their views.

Schumer went on that twink Rachel Maddow's show and claimed Roberts didn't want to do it,so that's why he's not presiding. That's not the same as refusing.
If they appointed Roberts to preside, he most likely would refuse imo. That's why they chose someone of their own party to preside because they know it's a sham trial.

Why would I be worried about that?
Roberts knows it's unconstitutional. Would put SCOTUS in a terrible position if he participated.

You'd be worried if you thought the Senate would convict. Ttku....
No, because I know SCOTUS would overturn it if they did. ttku

The correct conclusion is that former officers remain subject to the impeachment power after leaving office, for purposes of permitting imposition of the punishment of disqualification.
It will be fine

That’s not a thing. A person convicted in an impeachment trial doesn’t get to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Senate is the high court in an impeachment trial.

Roberts knows there's nothing in the text of the Constitution barring Congress from impeaching, convicting, and disqualifying former officials from holding future office.

The correct conclusion is that former officers are not subject to the impeachment power after leaving office, and therefore not subject to the imposition of the punishment of disqualification.
