An impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate should be conducted in similar manner to other trials in our country. Senators should act as impartial jurors.
Sen. Mike Lee is definitely not acting like an unbiased, impartial juror. In fact, if this were any other trial, and he were part of a pool of potential jurors, he could never be selected to serve on the jury because of his blatant bias. He is acting as if he were a defense attorney for Donald Trump rather than an impartial juror.
As for myself, I am a conservative-leaning independent voter who wants to hear all the facts before deciding if Trump deserves to be removed from office. I wish Sen. Lee and all senators would take the same approach. All relevant witnesses should be called to testify. If Mike Lee cannot conduct himself in this supremely important matter in an appropriate way, perhaps he should be removed from office by us voters when he is up for reelection.
