Donald Trump must be Convicted

Senator Cornyn,

Trump must be convicted and barred from office.  The House Impeachment Managers did an excellent job today of presenting many very convincing arguments that this trial is not only Constitutional, it is demanded by the Constitution.  I was proud to see such excellent arguments being made in the US Senate.

Donald Trump's attorneys were not convincing at all.   I have read better arguments, but also seen those better arguments debunked.  In addition to what the House Impeachment Managers presented, a very close look is taken by Keith Whittington at LawfareBlog.com:
Can a Former President Be Impeached and Convicted?
A response to Judge Michael Luttig.

I am sad that so many Senators, including you, voted against the trial again.  Many predict that Donald Trump will not be convicted.  If that is to be the outcome, could you at least get him to admit he didn't win the Presidency, and denounce well known groups that took part in the Insurrection like the Proud Boys?

I continue to be available to discuss this issue with my friends in a virtual meeting.
