BREAKING: Patrick Leahy hospitalized: now impeachment how?

The illegitimate impeachment of former President Donald Trump has become a total crap-fest. 

First, Justice John Roberts decided not to preside over the trial because Trump is out of office and a private citizen and the U.S. Constitution is clear that the purpose of impeachment is to remove a president from office. 

Now, the person who was tasked to take Justice Roberts' place, Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT), an 80-year-old leftist, has been hospitalized Tuesday because he does not feel well.

Leahy was examined in his Capitol office by the attending physician, according to David Carle, his spokesman.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated,” Carle said.

Leahy’s hospitalization comes hours after he was sworn in to preside over the Senate’s impeachment trial. The proceedings are expected to begin the week of Feb. 8, but it appears divine intervention has thrown a monkey wrench into the engine of Trump hatred disguised as democracy.

Leahy, the Senate president pro tempore, is constitutionally the second-highest-ranking official in the upper chamber behind Vice President Harris, who is the president of the Senate under Article I. He is third in line in the order of presidential succession after Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 

The Vermont lawmaker was first elected to the Senate in 1974. He is the only sitting senator to have served during the Ford administration and one of only two to have served during the Carter administration while doing nothing useful for the nation.

It was not immediately clear if Leahy is faking it or if he's really sick and will be able to head the proceedings, but whether or not he is able to be at the proceedings is a moot point because Donald Trump will not be found guilty because, while he may say stupid or wild things, he is not guilty. 

In fact, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and others on the left have done much more to incite violence.
