SpaceX wins the contract to launch the first two components of Lunar Gateway. - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 9, 14:29 1

- and that their actions “were utterly inexcusable and deserve robust and swift investigation and prosecution.” -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 9, 14:28 3
  - They also argued that he lost the election so that's sufficient. -- nm - pmb Feb 9, 14:32
  - They should have done that first, to see how many of them said they did it because that's what Trump wanted. -- nm - Meg Feb 9, 14:32 1
    - There are many on record as saying that's why they did. I expect clips of them saying that to be played in the trial. -- nm - pmb Feb 9, 14:33

    - All 44 have taken the position that it's unconstitutional. That's what the vote was about. The trial goes from here. -- nm - pmb Feb 9, 14:44

    - Totenberg said that Roberts said he wasn't interested in presiding this round. -- nm - Max Feb 9, 14:57

      - Right, but one of Trump's arguments is that it's unconstitutional because Roberts isn't presiding. They're arguing that as a separate argument (a due - pmb Feb 9, 14:24 1
        
        Doing a little digging it looks like they asked Roberts and he declined for the reasons stated. Kind of like he made a ruling on the point. -- nm - pmb Feb 9, 14:57

The democratic impeachment managers were pretty impressive. Curious to see how Trump's lawyers are. -- nm - pmb Feb 9, 11:46 7
- the video they started with, about 15? minutes long, was brilliantly edited showing the chronology. Damning. -- nm - mud Feb 9, 11:49 3
