The Affordable Care Act passed without a single Republican vote.  Majority Leader McConnell refused to allow Democratic legislation to reach the floor of the Senate for \u201cup and down\u201d votes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The economic divide between the \u201chaves and haves not\u201d  increasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it is the view of many Americans that the nation they \u201cknew\u201d in the past has irrevocably changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tea Party and the rise of Donald Trump were results of this division.&nbsp;&nbsp;So was the Women\u2019s March on Washington, the Black Lives Matter movement and the outlandish QAnon conspiracy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The most recent outcomes were the repudiation of \u201cTrumpism\u201d at the polls in 2020, and the \u201cInsurrection\u201d against the US Capitol on January 6<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Stands the GOP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here we are.&nbsp;&nbsp;For those who think this is settled \u2013 concluded with the prolonged results of the Presidential election of November \u2013 it only takes a look at the Republicans in the House last week.  They tried to remove their Caucus Chairman Liz Cheney for voting in favor of impeachment. And they gave a full \u201cpass\u201d to Marjorie Taylor Greene for sanctioning QAnon nonsense. It\u2019s not over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next expression of our division will take place this coming week, in the United States Senate.&nbsp;&nbsp;The House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald J. Trump, then President of the United States, for inciting the Insurrection on the Capitol.&nbsp;&nbsp;They did this while he was in office, as a statement of his collaboration in the \u201ccrime\u201d, and as a warning to keep him controlled until the Biden inauguration.&nbsp;&nbsp;They achieved the latter, but Joe Biden was sworn in on the Capitol steps surrounded by more military forces than any President since Lincoln in 1861.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House also wanted to establish the precedent that no President can \u201csend the mob\u201d against the legislature to enforce his will.&nbsp;&nbsp;Regardless of whether Trump is in office, that precedent is more than just incidental.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A significant minority of our Nation still believe that Trump was right.&nbsp;&nbsp;That leaves us without accountability for what occurred, and many months from judicial determinations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So once again the focus will be on Donald Trump, the nexus of American division, held in the symbolic home of that division, the Senate.&nbsp;&nbsp;McConnell is still there, but muted by his minority role.&nbsp;&nbsp;So how does the Senate \u201cbreakdown\u201d for this most significant Constitutional process?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Radio Dial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going from right to left (on your radio dial as the Cleveland Brown\u2019s radio announcer would say) we start with those Senators who are full throated Trump supporters:&nbsp;&nbsp;Hawley, Cruz, Kennedy of Louisiana, Paul and Graham.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ol\u2019 Lindsey is an interesting case. &nbsp;He&#8217;s&nbsp;a man who the night of January 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;detached himself from Trump (\u201cI\u2019m done\u201d he said on the floor of the Senate). But he then quickly moved back into his chosen position of \u201cTrump Whisperer\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That group and others are more interested in inheriting the Trump mantle, and more importantly his voter base, than the right or wrong of the case before them.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no changing their stand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there are the Republicans who voted with Rand Paul to avoid the trial. They agreed with him that the Constitution does not allow for a \u201cprivate citizen\u201d to be tried in the Senate.&nbsp;&nbsp;Regardless that all the legal precedent, and the Founding Fathers themselves, disagree with that interpretation, it gives those Senators a \u201cfig leaf\u201d to hide behind.&nbsp;&nbsp;No reason to go into the facts of incitement or insurrection (<em>for a much longer discourse on \u201cfig leaves\u201d \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2021\/01\/28\/profiles-in-courage\/\">click here<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Middle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senator Bill Cassidy was one of these.&nbsp;&nbsp;And Sunday on&nbsp;<em>NBC\u2019s Meet the Press&nbsp;<\/em>Cassidy said: \u201c\u2026that vote was in a moment in time\u2026\u201d. He went on to suggest that it wouldn\u2019t prevent him from judging the entire case, not just the Constitutionality based on Rand Paul and the defense lawyers\u2019 assertions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of those Senators there are a few, including perhaps Portman of Ohio, Shelby of Alabama, Grassley of Iowa, Burr of North Carolina and McConnell himself.&nbsp;&nbsp;Portman, Shelby and Burr have already announced that they will not be running for re-election, freeing them from the Trump voting majority in the Republican Party.&nbsp;&nbsp;There may be more in this \u201cmiddle ground\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next there are the \u201cfive\u201d:&nbsp;&nbsp;the five Republicans Senators who voted against the Paul motion, and for the trial.&nbsp;&nbsp;Toomey of Pennsylvania (retiring), Murkowski of Alaska, Romney of Utah, Collins of Maine, and Sasse of Nebraska all bucked their former President and earned the political enmity of their local and state Republican Parties.&nbsp;&nbsp;While a vote to have a trial is not the same as a vote for conviction, it does suggest that they don\u2019t need a \u201cfig leaf\u201d and want to hear the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Group of One<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there is the \u201clonely\u201d but ultimately powerful one Democrat near the middle, Joe Manchin.&nbsp;&nbsp;Almost 69% of his state, West Virginia, voted for Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;69%, that\u2019s more than two out of three voters. Even the elected Democratic Governor, Jim Justice, switched to Republican while in office AND was re-elected. From a wholly Democratic state of the 1990\u2019s, the state of Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller; Joe Manchin is literally the last Democrat standing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Manchin is well aware of his dual roles.&nbsp;He is the decisive vote for the Democratic Party in the Senate.  And he is always in a perilous position as a Democrat representing the most Republican state in the Union.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchin stood with the Democratic Party when necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;He voted to remove Trump from office in the first impeachment trial, and voted against some of Trump\u2019s Supreme Court appointees.&nbsp;&nbsp;But while he voted to continue this trial, he has been outspoken about how \u201cill advised\u201d this impeachment process is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally there are the other forty-nine Democrats in the Senate, lined in lock-step for conviction of Donald Trump, and hopeful to ban him from running for office in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes sixty-seven Senators to convict Donald Trump, and after that, only a majority to ban him from running for further office.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s unlikely that seventeen Republican Senators will determine that Donald Trump should be convicted and removed, despite the ample evidence to show his involvement in incitement.  His actions during the Insurrection were the definitions of  nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republicans in the House of Representatives have clearly made themselves the \u201cParty of Trump\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;As disgraced Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene stated, &#8220;The Party belongs to Donald Trump, and no one else&#8221;. It is only fitting that the Republicans in the Senate get the opportunity to make that choice as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;And in the next few weeks, they will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men in the Middle Bill Cassidy, a Republican Senator from Louisiana,&nbsp;&nbsp;is a \u201cman in the middle\u201d in our current political world.&nbsp;&nbsp;The crucible of politics in America is the United States Senate.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Democrats hold fifty seats, and so do the Republicans.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Senate is \u201cDemocratic\u201d by virtue of the tie-breaking vote of Vice President Kamala Harris.&nbsp;&nbsp;If America &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2021\/02\/08\/in-a-moment-of-time\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;In a Moment of Time&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>In a Moment of Time : Our America - Essays on Politics and American Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"America&#039;s division will be on full display at the trial of Donald Trump in the Senate this week.
