    One of the problems with talking about Senators as jurors in an impeachment trial is that they are also judges of the law. Unlike normal citizen jurors, they have the final say about all questions of law in the trial. Properly so! They're a coequal branch of the government.

        Congress is the only branch of government that can remove members of the other two branches.

        Seems those founders thought that having representatives from every state was a high enough bar. Funny enough to remove a member of congress it only takes the voters in their own state.

        Yet another reason to make them more like the House of Lords.

        Trumps lawyer admitted, on the senate floor, that Trump lost the election. What does that do for the 30 or so cases still percolating through the system? How does Trump say it was rigged if his Lawyer said he lost? This was worth the impeachment.

        Allow me to introduce you to the concept of Jury Nullification. Also the OJ Simpson trial. Senators are just jurors in this case. You just have a limited perspective on what that means

        They’re more akin to civil law or equity judges (eg Delaware Court of Chancery) - juror is a misnomer but the role of the senators is properly described as judicial in the broader sense
