Yes! According to Brittany Bernstein, writing in National Review, in the present Senate “trial” proceeding from the orange fellow’s impeachment…
"Trump’s lawyers are arguing that it is unconstitutional for the Senate to hold an impeachment trial for a former president and that his rhetoric is protected by the First Amendment. They also say that he did not incite the rioting and that the House rushed to impeach Trump without offering him time to prepare a defense."
Such a shame.
Meanwhile, for my part, although I’ve never been much of a Hillary fan, I have to agree with her on this:
“If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won’t be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense, it will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.”
