Repubs say: "Democrats want the Senate to do their job for them."

Really?

Everybody knows their job is to defend Donald Trump, not the Constitution or the institution of the Senate.

The Constitution says that the Senate has the sole power to "try" all impeachments. They have a responsibility to have a trial when the House impeaches. Their job is not to defend the Executive Branch. Their job is to defend the US Senate and our Constitution.

It is not the job of the House to "try" the charges against the President. That is the Senate's job. They should do their job and stop covering up and making excuses.
