我見 我聞 我思

彈劾川普案審查案今天展開

參議院今天開始進行審查前總統川普彈劾案，主要是指控他在元月六日當天鼓動暴民攻佔國會大厦，一般意料，參院將無法得到六十位參議員之支持， 但是這項美國史上第二次遭到彈劾的總統， 將面臨一系列之指控。

川普的律師團隊認為，彈劾一位退位的總統是違反憲法，他們要參院取消這項審判程序。

參院民主黨要求川普親自出席審判大會，但此舉被律師團隊拒絕， 一般意料，參院一定會邀請關鍵性證人出席作証，一定要把元月六日攻佔國會大厦的真正兇嫌查明清楚。

對於川普彈劾案通過之機率十分微小，主要是民主黨得爭取十七張共和黨人士之支持， 目前幾乎是不可能的任務。

元月六日暴徒攻擊國會大厦事件，可以說是美國民主政治留下不可磨滅的汚點， 前總統川普当天上午發表的煽動言論，是暴徒們衝進大厦的原動力。

截至目前為止，川普仍然不承認他的败選，更有不少的川粉仍然相信，拜登之選勝是騙來的。

我們要非常遺憾的指出，美國這個老牌的民主大國，為世界立下了可恥及不良示範，就連最近宣布戒嚴的緬甸，也以同樣之指控，民主選舉之結果有舞弊的嫌疑。

對我們來說，此次彈劾案，希望能召喚更多的证人，把川普之真面目公諸於世。

Second Senate Impeachment Trial Starts Today

The second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump started today in the U.S. Senate. The ultimate outcome of the trial is not in doubt: Trump will be acquitted because it falls short of the 67 votes needed in senate.

House Democrats sought testimony from Trump himself at the trial, a move that was rejected by Trump’s legal team.

In Washington, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said former the president’s followers’ insurrection attempt on the Capitol has hurt the United States’ ability to speak up for democracy and human rights.

Trump believes he will be acquitted at his trial based on the fact that there won’t be enough Republican senators to vote to convict the ex-president.

Former President Trump’s legal team accused the Democrats of impeaching Trump for political theater and they argued that the trial is unconstitutional because Trump is no longer the president.

We hope that the trial will reveal more of the story about the January 6th insurrection so that the truth will be told to the people.

During the last two weeks before he left office, Trump was fixated on punishing the GOP congressmen who voted to impeach him in the House.

We really worry that Trump’s actions will still do damage to the political environment. As one former White House official said, “Trump was enjoying the spectacle created by the riot at the Capitol on Jan 6^th. He was loving watching the Capitol mob.”

Today the nation is still facing challenges on many fronts. The $1.9 trillion stimulus bill is still in the Senate. We all hope this bill will pass as soon as possible in order to help the many suffering people.
