The Senate gets to resume stripping us of rights and implementing socialism, and they will begin the process to ban Trump from running for office again with the (unconstitutional) 3rd section of the 14th Amendment.

Would that apply given it wasn't a criminal hearing? It is something I have been wondering about as well.
No the Senate cannot try for insurrection. They would have to file a CRIMINAL complaint and have the courts handle it and no court will convict on this or it will eventually make it to SCOTUS where they have several cases that ruled exactly what insurrection is and this is not.
That was my understanding and that as such double jeopardy wouldn't apply?
Correct but they would now be faced with the pesky first amendment.
The House could impeach Trump again tomorrow for not letting himself be impeached the past 2 times. They don't care and they don't have to give a fuck cause there are no rules to impeachment (except that the Chief Justice had to be there).
It really is a farce and America as a Nation is suffering because of this hatred and persecution of Trump. I still have high hopes for March 4th as I have to cling on to something.....
