EMERGENCY INJUNCTION
With less than 10 hours to go until the Senate retires, the Senate President has taken it upon themselves to interpret their duties to include denying motions which they deem to be unconstitutional. I put it to the Court that the President of the Senate intended to vote nay on the motion and that they are aware that the motion has enough support to pass, which is against their political interests.
The Senate President does not have the authority to withhold a motion which they deem personally unconstitutional and I request that the Court compel:
a. the Senate President to post the motion to end the impeachment trial; and
b. for the Senate to stay in session until the vote on the motion has been voted on.
The Senate President is not the judge jury and executioner, they are the steward of the will of the Senate and this action goes against the duties legally prescribed to them.
Political remedies are not appropriate in this instance noting that the President of the Senate can be VONC'd, but then requires a new election orchestrated by the President.
Case to follow upon granting of injunction.
