The GOP Defense of Trump Was Written Over 150 Years Ago

. Having listened to dozens of hours of what purports to be a trial in the Senate, I realize that the GOP defense is over 150 years old. It was written by Lewis Carroll in. “Alice in Wonderland”:

. . . “Let the jury consider their verdict,” the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.

“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first — verdict afterward.”

“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!”

“Hold your tongue!” said the Queen, turning purple.

“I won’t!” said Alice.

“Off with her head!” the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.
