I challenge you to challenge your beliefs by using good logic and reasoning.

The word unconstitutional has legitimate uses, but the illegitimate use overwhelms the legitimate use.

McConnell and most other Republican Senators falsely claimed that trying T**** after his term had JUST ENDED is unconstitutional. Basic reasoning and precedent shows how bogus that excuse is. The word unconstitutional is used as an excuse. It's used as if the users are making their decisions from a noble, high ground, when it's actually extremely low political rhetoric. They act like the idea of the Constitution is holy, even when the logic they're using is hole-y. They act like the "Founding fathers" were omnipotent and noble geniuses, as if they were apostles.

The seven Republican Senators that voted to convict are being censured by the Republican Party. Why? For going against the religion: "The impeachment conviction trial was UNCONSTITUTIONAL."

Other-than-conservative people are likely to agree with what I've said. But many have their religious beliefs about America, the "Founding fathers," the Holy Constitution, democracy, etc. I challenge you to challenge your beliefs by using good logic and reasoning.

I'm not going to entertain your psychobabble about "constitutional". Bottom line...only the courts can determine if something is constitutional or not. Anyone else...well, that's just their opinion.

But the contention of yours that I highlighted is simply wrong. They are not being censured by the "Republican Party". They are being censured by their "STATE'S" Republican Party. And they are not being censured for going against any "religion". They are being censured for going against the political opinion of their constituents. You know, the people they represent.

Advice: When calling upon the use of logic and reason, at least start with a foundation of fact.
