Senate Impeachment Trial Oaths

Chief Justice Roberts is sworn in by President Pro Tempore Senator Grassley. The Chief Justice then swears in members of the Senate.

Chief Justice: "Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help you God?"

Senators: "I do."

That was a lot of LIARS taking an oath to be serving TRUTHS.

Did anyone else see Susan Collins shaking her head like "no" after signing the oath book or is that just me?

[Daisyducker]

That poor judges hand was shaking so hard! I think I would be scared if I was him also!

Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell really don't need to be taking oath their lying self.

Moscow Mitch was crossing his 😳 during the oath. 😬

[b.w.]

Funny story, back in the day the desks were the only work spaces most senators had in Washington...

Check Lindsey Graham and Moscow Mitch McConnell to see if they had their fingers crossed. I wouldn't put it past them to say, "My fingers were crossed so it didn't count", when they're asked why they didn't have a fair trial.

They all, democrats and Republicans, took an oath to remain impartial.

A solemn day.
We have watched the Chief Justice and the Senators take their oaths for the impeachment trial of a President.
Honor those oaths.

Un-be-fucking-lievable. The fact that Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnel can stand there and take an oath to God after saying the things they've said leading up to this moment is ridiculous.

Perfect soundtrack for this entrance would have been the Staple Singers respect yourself...( take the sheet off your head boy it's a brand new day)🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[JustMe-clqc]

God help this trial to be fair and justice be served

[yolandbanda]

Remember Republican The words, " So Help you God".

[salcom]

What a joke on the GOP side. You guys realize that trump wont always be president and people will remember what you've done and said here

[bklynrickel]

A mockery of the citizens of this country. This should have been quashed already, and the country should be moving on. Unnecessary melodrama. A waste of time and energy.

[cravefubar]

How many are going to break that oath, there should be a pool about this, I'll take three (3). What's your guess.

Tax payer dollars well at work here folks
