Republican senators were stunned when Democrat Jamie Raskin opened the
Trump impeachment trial by debunking their argument that it's "too late"
to convict a guilty ex-president, saying doing that would "create a
January exception to the Constitution."
Raskin said, "Their argument is that if you commit an impeachable offense
in your last few weeks in office, you do it with constitutional impunity.
You get away with it. In other words, conduct that would be a high crime
and misdemeanor in your 1st year as president, and your 2nd year as
president, and your 3rd year as president, and the vast majority of your
4th year as president, you can suddenly do in your last few weeks as
president without facing any constitutional accountability at all. This
would create a brand new January exception to the Constitution of the
United States."
This is exactly what our ad starring Raskin previewed in recent days as we
pumped it into the nation's capital on MSNBC, FOX, and CNN.
We're making a new ad featuring Raskin's opening argument today. We still
need Republican senators to hear it over and over again.

When we aired our first Raskin ad, we got positive feedback from people in
Congress, reporters, political allies, and activists. It's powerful.
